At Insurify, our goal is to help customers compare insurance products and find the best policy for them. We strive to provide open, honest, and unbiased information about the insurance products and services we review. Our hard-working team of data analysts, insurance experts, insurance agents, editors and writers, has put in thousands of hours of research to create the content found on our site.
We do receive compensation when a sale or referral occurs from many of the insurance providers and marketing partners on our site. That may impact which products we display and where they appear on our site. But it does not influence our meticulously researched editorial content, what we write about, or any reviews or recommendations we may make. We do not guarantee favorable reviews or any coverage at all in exchange for compensation.

Buying a home and auto insurance bundle — two policies from the same insurance company — can save you up to 25%, depending on the insurer. It also makes managing your policies easier, since you have only one insurance company to deal with. Your insurer may even combine your monthly premiums into one payment.
Some insurers offer better bundling discounts, also known as multi-policy discounts, than others.
You can save money by exploring home and auto bundles from multiple insurers. Be sure to compare separate home and auto insurance quotes before buying a policy.
Bundling home and car insurance can save you 10% to 25% with many major insurance companies.
Advantages of insurance bundling include discounts, convenience, and streamlined claims.
Bundling might not always be the cheapest option, so compare both bundled and stand-alone quotes.
What is a home and auto insurance bundle?
A home and auto insurance bundle, also known as a bundling or multi-policy discount, is when you take out a home and auto insurance policy with the same insurance company.
Bundling multiple policies with one insurer simplifies policy management, and it can also save you money on both policies.

Other types of insurance bundles

You can bundle car insurance with condo insurance, renters insurance, motorcycle insurance, and more. Ask your insurance agent which multi-policy discounts make sense for your situation.
How to bundle your home and auto insurance
Bundling your home and auto insurance means purchasing both policies from the same company, often at a discounted rate.[1] Think of it like signing up for an internet and cable television package. You get the convenience of one insurance company and a lower total bill. Here’s how to do it:
1. Review your current policies
Start by gathering details about your existing home and auto coverage, including limits, deductibles, and premiums. This gives you a baseline for comparing quotes.
2. Decide what coverage you need
Before seeking out new quotes, think about your priorities. Do you want higher liability limits, a lower deductible, or broader coverage for valuables?[2] Knowing this helps you avoid buying based only on price.
3. Shop around for bundle quotes
Contact several insurance companies and ask specifically for bundle options. Many insurance companies advertise bundle discounts of 10% to 25%, but actual savings depend on your profile and location.
4. Compare quotes carefully
Don’t just look at the total price. Review coverage limits, exclusions, deductibles, and the insurance company’s financial ratings.[3] A lower premium isn’t worth it if coverage gaps leave you exposed.
5. Confirm the discount and finalize
Once you choose the best option, confirm that the insurance company applied the bundle discount. Then buy both policies from the same company.
How to find the best home and auto insurance for you
The best home and auto insurance bundle won’t be the same for everyone.
Check out these tips for finding the best home and auto insurance for your situation:[4]
Consider your coverage needs. Consider what coverage you need — especially if you want to bundle your home and auto policies. Check insurance companies’ websites to see what types of coverage they offer.
Think about local rate factors. Consider local factors that could affect your auto and home insurance rates, such as weather risks in your area and your proximity to a fire station.
Look at customer reviews. Always read an insurer’s customer reviews before buying a policy. An insurer may have very cheap rates but terrible customer service, which may negate the cost savings. Check out sites like the Better Business Bureau, Trustpilot, and J.D. Power for customer satisfaction information.
Make sure the insurer has good financial strength. An insurer’s financial strength indicates its capability to pay out claims. Check AM Best for financial strength ratings — anything above an A is a good rating.
Compare quotes. Always compare insurance quotes from multiple insurers before buying a policy. This goes for both home and auto insurance. Each insurer determines premiums differently, so it’s worth comparing pricing from at least three.
Should you bundle your home and auto insurance?
Bundling often makes sense if you own a home and a car and want the convenience of working with a single insurance company. Although this can sometimes save you money, bundling isn’t always the best choice.
For example, if an insurance company offers great car insurance rates but higher-than-average home insurance premiums — or vice versa — you might save more by keeping policies separate. Always compare stand-alone and bundled quotes before deciding, since savings opportunities vary by insurance company and state.

Pros and cons of bundling
Bundling your home and auto insurance can offer several valuable benefits, but it isn’t the right choice for everyone. These are some advantages and drawbacks:
Discounts: Many insurance companies offer savings of 10% to 25% when you bundle.
Convenience: Managing one company relationship, one bill, and one renewal date simplifies your life.
Streamlined claims: If a single event affects both your home and car, one company handles the process.
Single deductible for some claims: If you file one claim for home and auto damage, you may have to pay only a single deductible.
Not always cheapest: An insurer may offer the lowest car insurance rates but charge more for homeowners coverage, or vice versa.
Limited flexibility: You‘re less likely to switch insurance companies when you bundle home and car insurance.
Possible coverage gaps: A bundle might tempt you to focus on price, causing you to overlook whether the coverage selections meet your needs.
Rising rates can diminish value of bundling discount: Auto and home insurance rates are increasing, which could reduce your overall savings with a bundle discount.
Home and auto insurance bundles FAQs
If you’re thinking about bundling your home and auto insurance, see the answers to frequently asked questions below.
Changing your auto policy may alter your bundle discount. If you reduce coverage, switch vehicles, or change insurance companies, your home policy usually remains in force, but you may lose the bundled savings.
Yes. But you’ll need to get a separate type of policy to bundle with your car insurance, such as renters insurance or life insurance. Many insurance companies offer multi-policy or bundling discounts when you buy more than one insurance policy from the same company. Those policies don’t always have to be home and auto.
Yes. You can buy policies in two different states if, for example, you own a home in Florida but live and drive in New York. It might not be possible to bundle both policies for a discount, though. While larger insurance companies might offer coverage in both states, others might not because insurance laws and coverage requirements differ by location.
Insurance companies reward loyalty. They offer bundling discounts to incentivize customers to give them more business, and those discounts can reduce your insurance premiums by anywhere from 10% to 25%.
No. Unbundling typically doesn’t affect renewal eligibility. But your insurance company will remove the discount, meaning your premium could increase if you separate the policies.
Usually, yes. Insurance companies expect all household members of driving age to be listed on car insurance policies. You should also include your spouse on your home insurance policy for proper liability coverage.
Often yes, but not always. Discounts range from 10% to 25%, but if one policy has higher premiums, the overall bundle might not be cheaper than buying separate policies from two different companies.
Yes. GEICO offers bundle discounts by pairing its car insurance with home insurance coverage underwritten by partner companies. Discounts and eligibility vary by state.
Companies like Chubb, AIG, Amica, State Farm, and USAA receive high ratings for customer service in the J.D. Power U.S. Home Insurance Study.[5] But the best choice for you depends on your location and coverage needs.
There’s no single cheapest homeowners insurance company nationwide. Rates vary widely by state, property value, and risk factors. Shop several different insurers to find the lowest price for your unique circumstances.
Methodology
Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 190 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.
Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).
Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:
- Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
- Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
- No additional coverage
- Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
- Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible
Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
