AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to a new nationwide study by insuranceQuotes, consumers save on average $314 (16.19%) per year by bundling their auto and homeowners insurance.
“Discounts for bundling auto and home, condo or renters insurance vary by state, and can help many consumers save more than $500 per year. Combining policies with the same insurer is a simple and easy way to reduce premiums,” said Laura Adams, senior insurance analyst for insuranceQuotes.
Here are the states with the highest savings for bundling auto and homeowners insurance:
1. Louisiana – $584 (19.68% discount)
2. Oklahoma – $541
(22.34%)
3. Texas – $473 (17.30%)
4. Kansas – $444
(22.07%)
5. Mississippi – $430 (19.90%)
These states showed the lowest savings:
1. Vermont – $183 (12.42% discount)
2. Hawaii – $189
(11.15%)
3. Utah – $191 (14.20%)
4. Virginia – $193
(11.83%)
5. Washington – $214 (14.15%)
“Combining policies usually saves money, however, there are scenarios when using separate providers could be a better option,” added Adams. “So always compare quotes both bundled and unbundled.”
