Cheap Home Insurance Quotes - Where to Get Them

Believe it or not, cheap home insurance quotes are available - you just have to know how to find them. The answer to affordable homeowners insurance is just a few finger strokes away, at an insurance comparison website.


Why Go to an Insurance Comparison Website?

In order to find the cheapest price on anything you want to buy, you have to comparison shop, right? Well, insurance comparison websites let you comparison shop quickly and easily.

You'll fill out one form with information about your home and your insurance needs. Shortly thereafter, you'll receive offers from several A-rated companies, with quotes specifically matched to your home.

The surprise? You'll likely find the quotes vary from each other and from your current homeowners rate by as much as $600 a year.


Comparing Quotes

The more quotes you get, the better the odds that you'll get an affordable quote, so plan to compare at least three to five plans.

You'll also want to look at each company's customer service record, financial ratings, and complaint history. Some resources you can use include:

* Websites from ratings companies such as Standard & Poor's (standardandpoors.com), and A.M. Best (ambest.com).

* Websites for each insurance company

* Friends, family, and co-workers who've had good or not-so-good experiences with an insurance company

* The department of insurance website for your state


Money Saving tips

No matter which insurance plan you choose, some other tips that will help you get the cheapest homeowners insurance around include:

* Setting your deductible as high as you can afford. The higher you set your deductible, the lower your annual premium will be.

* Looking for discounts to lower you premium. Insurance companies typically offer senior citizens discounts, discounts for safety features such as smoke detectors and deadbolts, and discounts for placing your auto and home insurance with the same company.

* Keeping your credit history in good shape so you qualify for the lowest rates an insurance company offers.
