There’s no question that as consumers we want to get the best value for the money we pay for a product or service. We also want our experience using that product or service to be exceptional. One way to save money and improve your experience is combining your home and auto insurance with the same company.
Imagine this scenario: It’s a typical spring in Illinois, and yet another severe storm is rolling through your town, bringing high winds, hail and the potential for tornadoes. Afterward, the vehicles in your driveway are not only damaged from hail, but a tree has fallen and damaged your cars and your home.
This is a challenging experience for anyone to deal with. If you have your home and auto insurance policies with different providers, another layer of complexity is added to the situation as you work with both to file claims and repair the damage.
This is just one example of when having multiple insurance policies with one carrier is beneficial. For this scenario, you could call one company to take care of both your home and auto claims.

Smart Coverage
There are many other benefits to bundling your insurance policies, the most popular being the cost savings. Many insurers, like COUNTRY Financial,®1 offer a multipolicy discount, which means you receive a cost savings for having two or more qualifying policies with the same insurer. Clients may receive up to a 20% discount for bundling their policies. You may also receive a discount for having an umbrella policy in addition to home or auto.2
Having as many insurance policies as possible with the same provider is a great way to “push the easy button,” as it streamlines billing. It also allows you to access policy information in one place and work with your local agent or the client services department to make changes and updates.
