Exhaust All Your Options

This is rather tedious, but could save you the most money. Ask around for the best insurance rates and list down all your options. Ask your friends, family, and co-workers  for home insurance experience, and check out consumer reviews.

Build A Sturdier Home

Ask your potential insurance company about what you can do to make your home more secure and disaster resistant as these minor additions may help lower your premiums.

 

Keep Your Credit Record Up

Maintaining a healthy credit record can also help lower your insurance costs. To do this, make sure you always pay your bills on time and to try and keep your credit balance as low as possible to help you out with your home insurance claims.

 

Loyalty Counts

Most insurance companies also reward their loyal customers by providing discounts based on how long you’ve had them as your insurance provider.
