Amica, Erie, American Family, Nationwide, and State Farm offer some of the largest bundling discounts.
Although bundling home and auto is the most common, some insurers will bundle car insurance with renters, condo, boat, RV, motorcycle, and life insurance policies.
Some insurers offer a single deductible in their bundled insurance policies, where you’ll pay one deductible for multiple policies.

Insurance bundling is an incentive companies offer when you buy more than one type of insurance policy with the same insurer. For example, if you purchase your auto and home insurance with the same company, you would be eligible for an insurance bundling discount. This discount can also be called a multi-policy, or multi-line, discount.
While you can usually save when bundling your insurance policies, it isn’t always the best deal. Sometimes it’s best to keep policies separate. That’s why shopping around and comparing insurance policies and bundling discounts from different companies can help ensure you get a great deal and the lowest price on your insurance premiums.
Although the car and home insurance bundling discount is the most well-known, many insurance companies offer a multi-policy discount for various insurance products.
For instance, you may get a discount on your auto insurance if you also insure your condo, boat, RV, ATV, motorcycle, life insurance, or renters insurance policy with the same company.
You can also get a multi-car discount if you insure at least two cars with the same insurance company. So, if you own two cars and a home or rental, you could receive the multi-car and multi-policy discount. Stacking multiple discount types can help you get the best deal on all your insurance needs.
Available discounts for insurance bundling — and the amount you can save on each policy — can vary by insurance company and state.
Bundling your home and auto insurance comes with several potential benefits, including saving money, easier policy management, and meeting all your coverage needs. We’ll cover these in more detail below.
Perhaps the most important reason to bundle your insurance is to save money. The multi-policy discount is usually the biggest discount insurance companies offer. You could save up to 30% or more when you insure all your property with the same company.
Managing multiple insurance companies and policies can be a hassle because you have to remember several account logins, billing due dates, and policy expiration dates. When you insure all your policies with the same insurance company, you can easily track your policy renewals, bills, and claims in one location.
And if you have to file a claim on multiple policies, you only have to work with one company. For instance, natural disasters could damage your vehicle, boat, and home at the same time. Dealing with one company can streamline your claims experience.
Everyone has unique insurance needs — but having all your insurance policies in one place makes it easier for your insurance agent to ensure you’re adequately protected. Your agent can see the big picture to identify coverage gaps, make sure you don’t buy coverage you don’t need, and make recommendations to cover you for the unexpected.

Here’s how to bundle your home and auto insurance to find the best insurance bundles for you:
Determine your coverage needs. Deciding what insurance products, coverage types, and limits you need before you shop for insurance can help you avoid spending money on unnecessary add-on coverages.
Compare insurance quotes. Comparing insurance quotes from at least three different companies is a great way to know you’re getting the best rates and choosing the right insurer.
Include all discounts in your quotes. Verify which discounts each insurance company offers so you can apply everything you’re eligible for in the quote. This makes it easier to compare and find the better deal.
Shop regularly. Insurance rates fluctuate, even if nothing changes in your home or driving record. You’ll be confident you’re getting the best home and auto savings when you shop at each renewal or annually.
Consider these factors when choosing an insurance company:
Is a bundling discount available? Bundling policies together usually offers lower rates. If it isn’t an option, compare quotes with companies that do.
Check deductibles. The deductible is the amount you pay when you file a claim. The higher the deductible, the lower your premium. Not all insurance companies offer the same deductible options. Some may offer perks like a single deductible if both your home and auto are damaged by the same event.
Does the policy meet your needs? Saving money is great, but only if each policy in the bundle meets your specific needs. Be sure to evaluate coverage types for each insurance policy to ensure it provides the coverage you need.
Choose a reputable company. Research the insurance company’s customer reviews and financial strength rating, which shows its ability to pay claims.
The home and auto bundle is one of the most commonly used discounts in the insurance industry. We answered frequently asked questions about bundling your policies to help you decide if it’s right for you.
Insurance companies want you to bundle policies so they can have more business. People who bundle also usually stay with the same company longer than people who don’t. Some companies offer additional incentives, like a loyalty discount, for remaining a customer.
Anytime is the best time to bundle your insurance.
Although many people save when bundling, others may find separate policies are better. For example, if you’re a high-risk driver with SR-22 insurance, you might get a cheaper auto insurance rate with one company and a better homeowners rate with another.
If you cancel one of your policies after bundling, you’ll lose the bundled discounts. The only way to keep the bundle discount is to have two or more qualifying insurance policies with the same insurer.
Yes, but you won’t qualify for the bundle discount until you buy the second policy.
For example, if you buy car insurance today but don’t get homeowners insurance until you close on your house in two months, you won’t get the bundle discount until you buy your home insurance policy.
