Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Auto Insurance Increasing?

- Advanced safety and complex software also increase repair costs.
These are a few of the many factors that drive auto insurance rates. To offset cost, there are discounts that you may elect or be eligible for that may relieve some of these increases. One of the biggest discounts is to bundle your home and auto policies as well as increase your deductible. Always ask your agent what discounts you qualify for and how you can lower your annual premium.
Why is my Home Insurance Increasing?
- Increase in construction materials and labor costs.
- Increase in frequency and severity of weather events which puts pressure on the material and labor availability.
We strongly suggest that you and your agent review your homeowner’s policy annually to ensure that your limits provide you with adequate coverage. A review of your policy will also provide your agent with information regarding any upgrades to your roof, heating system or installation of security devices, water shut-off system or other changes that have been made to your home. This may provide you with a lower annual rate. Consider bundling your home and auto policies which will provide you with a discount.
Does homeowners’ insurance adjust for inflation?
Each year, coverages are automatically adjusted based on an inflation factor. This helps your home insurance coverage keep pace with inflation as costs for construction materials and services go up.
What is one way to lower your insurance costs?
Increase your deductible!
Requesting higher deductibles can lower your costs substantially for your home or auto policy. For example, increasing your deductible for your auto from $500 to $1000 could possibly reduce your cost 15 to 30 percent. Speak with your agent, who can provide you with various deductible options.
Always ask questions! You should not be afraid to ask questions and seek clarity on all your insurance policies. Some of the top questions you should be asking is:
- What is my deductible and what are my deductible options?
- What is my premium?
- What happens if I get into a car accident?
- Do I have enough protection with my current home or auto policy?
- Am I eligible for any discounts?
- Do I need an umbrella policy?
- Is it time for me to consider life insurance?
- Most companies offer an additional discount to your home or auto policy if a Life and/or umbrella policy is added to your package.
