Number three, sign up for multiple insurance polices with the same company. "Almost all insurance companies, if you insure your auto and your home and even sometimes a renters policy with the same company you can get a discount,” Peterson says.

Number two, check for discounts you may be missing. "A lot of the insurance companies have added discounts over the past few years so it would be a good idea to contact your agent and review your current policy just to be sure that you're getting all the discounts your entitled to” Peterson says.
