How does bundling work?

Bundling is the process of buying more than one policy from the same insurance company, typically at a discounted rate. Insurance companies tend to like bundling because they get more of your business, while you get a lower rate plus the convenience of buying everything in one place.

Bundling isn’t just for homeowners and auto insurance. Depending on the company, you may also be able to bundle other types of policies such as umbrella, boat, RV or life insurance.

The benefits of an auto and home insurance bundle

The primary reason that many people bundle car and homeowners insurance is to lower their premiums. A multipolicy discount could save you as much as 30%, according to some insurer websites, depending on the company and where you live.

But that’s not the only reason to bundle. It’s also typically easier to manage multiple policies when they all come from the same company.

And it may even help you maintain your insurance coverage long-term. If you’ve made auto insurance claims or gotten tickets, having other policies with the same company can make it less likely the insurer will drop you because of those incidents.

The drawbacks of an auto and home insurance bundle

Bundling policies encourages a "set it and forget it” mentality, but automatically renewing year after year with the same company could come at a cost. You're less likely to check out competitors’ rates if you have to switch two policies instead of one, especially if one is paid automatically through a mortgage escrow account.

Prices tend to increase at policy renewal time, and they can inch up well beyond what you would pay with another company if you don’t check rates online or by phone.

Of course, not all insurance companies increase premiums until their customers are overpaying, and rates are bound to increase over time with any product. But if you don’t shop around every so often, you’ll never know whether you’re getting the fairest price.

Should you bundle car and home insurance?

Bundling home and car insurance will often save you money, but not always. To decide if bundling makes sense for you, compare the quotes for separate home and auto policies to quotes for bundled policies. If separate policies are cheaper than a bundled rate, there’s no reason to buy them together.

Insurance pricing is highly individual, and much depends on where you live, your credit history (in most states) and the value of the items you’re insuring. Say your situation translates to a very expensive auto policy — maybe you drive a sports car or had a recent at-fault accident — but your house is modest and requires little coverage. If your carrier provides you with the cheapest car insurance possible, even if the homeowners rate isn’t as low as it could be, you’re probably still saving with the bundle.

But the script is flipped if your carrier’s auto insurance is pricey compared with other options in your area. A discount on an inexpensive homeowners policy could pale in comparison to the bigger savings you would get by breaking the bundle and choosing the cheapest auto insurance. After shopping and comparing rates for both, you might want to keep your home policy the same, but get your auto insurance elsewhere.

Bundling tips

If bundling auto and homeowners insurance makes sense for you, take these steps to maximize your savings.

Compare bundles from different insurers, either online or with an agent. An independent insurance agent can get prices from multiple companies to help you find the best rate. Ask the agent to compare non-bundled rates as well to make sure you’re seeing all your options.

Check for third parties. Ask if the insurer uses a third-party insurance company (sometimes called an affiliate) for either policy you want to bundle. Although you may still save money, you’ll lose convenience because you won’t be dealing with just one insurance company.

Shop for quotes regularly because the cost of home insurance and the cost of auto insurance can change from year to year. It’s particularly important to shop around when you have a major life change (such as moving or getting married) or when you have a larger-than-usual rate increase at renewal.

You may also want to get new quotes if your credit has gotten significantly better or worse. In most states, having poor credit can have a bigger impact on your premiums than filing a claim. Learn more about how credit affects home insurance rates.

How we chose the best home and auto insurance bundles

Our editorial team chose insurance companies with NerdWallet ratings of at least 4.5 stars for their home and auto insurance products. All companies selected offer a discount for bundling home and auto insurance policies. We excluded insurers with products available in fewer than 10 states.

NerdWallet’s star ratings reward companies for consumer-first features and practices. We evaluate factors such as:

  • The financial strength of each company.

  • Consumer complaints to state regulators.

  • Coverage options.

  • Discounts.

  • Consumer experience.

Frequently asked questions

Bundling policies can usually get you a discount. But because it’s so convenient, it can also discourage price shopping. In other words, if you don’t know what other companies charge, you may not realize you’re overpaying.

Some "bundled" policies aren't really bundled. Auto insurers may set you up with a partner company for home insurance, and in that case, you may not be able to manage your bills in one place.

Not necessarily. If you have traffic violations, your credit is poor or you live in a state with high insurance rates, it may actually be cheaper to shop for separate policies than to bundle them. See our guides to the cheapest car insurance and cheapest homeowners insurance to shop for separate policies.

Insurance companies advertise discounts up to 30% for bundling your policies. Your own discount will depend on the company you choose as well as the car and property you need to insure.

Many but not all insurance companies offer bundling discounts. If you’re having trouble finding a bundled package you like, reach out to an independent insurance agent in your area for help shopping around.

Amica and USAA earned 5-star ratings from NerdWallet for both homeowners and auto insurance. However, USAA’s policies are available only to veterans, active military and their families.

Yes, many companies offer bundles with renters insurance or other policies like condo insurance, life insurance and others. Check with your carrier (or shop around with other insurance providers) to find bundling options that will meet your needs.

Methodology

Auto insurance star ratings methodology

NerdWallet’s auto insurance ratings reward companies for customer-first features and practices. Ratings are based on weighted averages of scores in several categories, including financial strength, consumer complaints and discounts. Our “ease of use” category looks at factors such as website transparency and how easy it is to file a claim. Using our editorial discretion, we also consider customer satisfaction surveys. These ratings are a guide, but we encourage you to shop around and compare several insurance quotes to find the best rate for you. NerdWallet does not receive compensation for any reviews. Read our editorial guidelines and full ratings methodology for auto insurance.

Homeowners insurance star ratings methodology

NerdWallet’s homeowners insurance ratings reward companies for customer-first features and practices. Ratings are based on weighted averages of scores in several categories, including financial strength, consumer complaints, coverage, discounts and online experience. These ratings are a guide, but we encourage you to shop around and compare several insurance quotes to find the best rate for you. NerdWallet does not receive compensation for any reviews. Read our full ratings methodology for home insurance.

Insurer complaints methodology

NerdWallet examined complaints received by state insurance regulators and reported to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners between 2021 and 2023. To assess how insurers compare to one another, the NAIC calculates a complaint index each year for each subsidiary, measuring its share of total complaints relative to its size, or share of total premiums in the industry. To evaluate a company’s complaint history, NerdWallet calculated a similar index for each insurer, weighted by market shares of each subsidiary, over the three-year period. NerdWallet conducts its data analysis and reaches conclusions independently and without the endorsement of the NAIC. Ratios are determined separately for auto, home (including renters and condo) and life insurance.

Auto insurance rates methodology

NerdWallet found median rates based on public filings obtained by pricing analytics company Quadrant Information Services. We examined rates for men and women for all ZIP codes in any of the 50 states and Washington, D.C. Rates were for 35-year-old male and female drivers with good credit, no tickets or violations, and with the following coverage limits:

  • $100,000 bodily injury liability coverage per person.

  • $300,000 bodily injury liability coverage per crash.

  • $50,000 property damage liability coverage per crash.

  • $100,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage per person.

  • $300,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage per crash.

  • Collision coverage with $1,000 deductible.

  • Comprehensive coverage with $1,000 deductible.

In states where required, minimum additional coverages were added. We used a 2021 Toyota Camry LE in all cases and assumed 12,000 annual miles driven.

These are rates generated through Quadrant Information Services for NerdWallet's June 2024 analysis. Your rates will be different.

Homeowners insurance rates methodology

To find the average cost of homeowners insurance, NerdWallet calculated the median rate for 40-year-old homeowners from a variety of insurance companies in every ZIP code across the U.S. All rates are rounded to the nearest $5.

Sample homeowners were nonsmokers with good credit living in a single-family, two-story home built in 1984. They had a $1,000 deductible and the following coverage limits:

  • $300,000 in dwelling coverage.

  • $30,000 in other structures coverage.

  • $150,000 in personal property coverage.

  • $60,000 in loss of use coverage.

  • $300,000 in liability coverage.

  • $1,000 in medical payments coverage.

We made minor changes to the sample policy in cases where rates for the above coverage limits or deductibles weren’t available.

These are sample rates generated through Quadrant Information Services. Your own rates will be different.
