What does a condo insurance rate include?

Condo insurance policies typically include the following types of coverage:

• Dwelling, or building property. Depending on your policy, this coverage could pay for things like flooring, light fixtures, cabinets and built-in appliances.

• Personal property. This coverage pays for stolen or damaged belongings.

• Loss of use, or additional living expenses. This coverage can pay hotel bills or other costs if a covered event forces you out of your home.

• Personal liability. This coverage provides financial protection if you accidentally hurt someone or damage their property.

• Medical payments. This coverage pays medical bills for anyone injured on your property, regardless of fault.

Your policy may also include loss assessment coverage, which can help you pay for shared association expenses. Here's an example:

Insurance premiums are going up across the U.S. Inflation has boosted the cost of building supplies and labor, while natural disasters have led to billions of dollars in insurance claims in recent years. Below are a few ways to reduce your costs.

Shop around. We recommend getting quotes from at least three insurers to make sure you’ve found the best price. You can get quotes online, by calling insurers or from an independent insurance agent. For a fair comparison, check that the policies you’re evaluating have similar coverage limits and deductibles.

Raise your deductible. A deductible is the amount subtracted from your claim payout. The more damage you’re willing to pay for yourself, the lower your insurance cost will be. For example, raising your deductible from $1,000 to $2,500 can save you about 7% on condo insurance, according to NerdWallet’s rate analysis. Make sure you'd feel comfortable paying the deductible amount in an emergency.

Ask about discounts. Depending on where you live, your insurance company may offer savings for:

• Bundling your condo policy with auto or other insurance.

• Installing smoke alarms, security systems or sprinklers.

• Signing up to autopay your premiums.

• Going a certain amount of time without filing a claim.

• Living in a gated community.

• Being a retiree.

Ask about these and other potential discounts when shopping.

Build your credit. In most states, insurers use your credit-based insurance score (similar to a credit score) to set condo insurance rates. Studies have shown that people with lower credit scores are more likely to file claims. That's why insurance companies generally charge higher rates if your credit-based insurance score is poor.

Condo owners with poor credit pay about 54% more on average than those with good credit, according to NerdWallet’s rate analysis. Although it may take time to build credit, doing so could save you money on insurance in the long run.
