Insurance Bundling

By Richard T. Tyler

As the current economy takes a plunge, tides of price-hikes hit consumer world-wide. Thus, people are beginning to be more and more creative in finding ways to decrease monthly expenses. Insurance bundling has been creating quite a buzz when it comes to cutting costs.

Cutting back by bundling up your insurance is of almost the same concept as saving cash when you go to wholesalers instead of retailers. When you buy in bulks, you are entitled to a bigger discount because you cut on operational expenses and save time for yourself and the seller. That's why in a recent study, over 70% of homeowners have bundled up with an auto insurance policy. Customers prefer to keep a long-term relationship with their insurance provider. Later on, when enough trust is built on both parties, customers can apply for extra policies like auto insurance for the other members of the family.

It saves time and money to work with only one insurance company rather than liaising with different companies for your different insurance needs. It also makes things less confusing. Aside from that, it's also more likely to get substantial discounts as you avail for more services. Research backs this up with more customers being satisfied when bundling up insurance as they renew their policies at higher rates.

Policy holders become more loyal to their company of choice and they receive additional benefits from a company that has their trust for all their insurance needs. Another study also found out that once customers have found an insurance company to work with, the possibility of them switching into another insurance provider is less likely.

Since we used the term "wholesale" to explain the general idea on why one can save on expenses by bundling up insurance, we can probably use the utilities billing system as another example. For internet, phone and cable services, you could probably have asked around on the lowest quotes for each service. In the end, you may also have found out that it's still more practical in terms of costs and time to just go to one service provider that offers the lowest package price for these three services.

Same goes with insurance policies. While rates differ with different insurance companies, their rates become even more logical when you compute the costs of the insurance packages in bulk, taking in consideration the bonuses that they offer and the discounts that come with them. Dealing with just one company also makes things less complicated as different companies have different policies and regulations. It would be harder to keep track of these differences especially in the long run when then begin to overlap. It also strengthens the relationship. You may find it rewarding to work with a company that cares for you and your family.

The best time for you to deal with different insurance companies is during the first stage-when you're still looking for that one company that can offer you the best and most suitable package with a reasonable quote. It would be better to list down what you know you need so it'll be easier for you to ask the right questions.

And hopefully, when the search is over, you'll be starting a lasting relationship with an insurance company that can give you and your family an efficient and cost-effective insurance bundle package.
