In homes around the country, costs continue to climb. Higher interest rates, severe weather events, and shortages in materials aren’t anywhere near average. Inflation remains a significant factor in shaping the current market, alongside supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. These factors directly impact your insurance premiums due to increased costs of home repairs, rebuilds and car repair services. If you haven’t received rate increases yet, we expect they’ll likely appear at your next renewal.
If your insurance premiums have increased, you may be tempted to cut back on coverage or eliminate certain policies all together. Doing so might create huge risks that could lead to serious financial hardship if you have a claim. Choosing higher deductibles, participating in safe driving telematic programs, and installing mitigation devices on your property can lead to savings. Avoiding lapses in coverage and absorbing small claims when able can also result in better rates.
