Your In-Depth Guide to Bundling Insurance

Updated April 4, 2021 . AmFam Team

What is bundling insurance? How do insurance bundles work? Should I bundle home and auto insurance? We address the big questions and show you how to save here.

You have many options for keeping your rates down. One example is maintaining a good driving record. Another is installing smart devices in your home. Even your approach to getting insured can help too.

Bundling insurance products is one of the easiest ways for you to save on your coverage. In this in-depth breakdown, we’ll look at how you can bundle just about any of your policies and earn a discount for your savvy choice.

What Is Bundling?

Bundling insurance is when you buy multiple types of insurance policies from the same provider. That means all your insurance policies — like your car, home, motorcycle, life, boat or recreational toys — are located in one place. This option makes insurance more convenient and less complicated. More appealing still is that bundles may come with discounts. They’re less expensive together than getting the policies separately.

How Does Bundling Insurance Products Work?

No matter which policies you decide to bundle, they’ll remain separate in practice and operate independently to provide coverage. For example, imagine a person hitting a house with their car. Their home’s personal liability coverage wouldn’t cover that event. Instead, the property damage liability coverage under their auto policy could help pay for it.* That could be the case even if this person bundled their home and auto insurance.**

How to Bundle Insurance & Save

It doesn’t matter if your home is a house, condo, apartment or manufactured home. Wherever you live, you can enjoy the convenience of insurance packages and any applicable discounts. American Family Insurance agents know our products inside and out. They can help you identify what’s best for your situation. If you want to know how to bundle home and auto insurance, or any other combination, here’s a quick guide.

Step 1. Gather your current insurance information

You should have your current policy at hand as you search for a new one. Otherwise, how will you know if any coverage options you find offer an improvement? Pull up your account with your current provider and have all the details ready. If it helps, make a chart and put your current insurance information in the first column.

Step 2. Get quotes online

How can you learn which providers are the best for bundling insurance products? Simple: ask what they have to offer you. Look for popular insurance providers whose coverage extends to your area of residence and request a quote.

Step 3. Compare the quotes

If you want to know how to get the best insurance bundle rates, don’t just look at the price tags. Compare quotes by looking at what each quote will give you for your money. Is it better to bundle car and home insurance from Provider A if Provider B’s more expensive plan offers more coverage? That depends on whether you truly want that extra protection. Take the comparison process lightly at your own risk. It’s often better to work with an agent to help you understand what each coverage is and how it protects you.

Step 4. Make your decision & switch

Compare all you want with as many companies and policy plans as you want. At some point, though, you must make a choice. Your insurance bundle should be affordable while also covering a swath of plausible events that you wouldn’t want to pay for out of pocket. Insurance agents can provide expert guidance on how to shop for a bundled insurance deal.
