• Is insurance cheaper if you bundle?

  Bundling policies is when you carry more than one policy, such as your auto and home insurance, with the same company. Many insurers offer discounts if you keep all your policies under one roof, but whether it's cheaper depends on the discount offered plus how good your rate is to begin with. Before bundling, shop around to make sure you're getting the best overall rate.
