One Simple Step to Big Savings
Is Insurance! Yes, Insurance. Whether it’s car,home or health insurance. You’ll save big this New Year when you look into the lowering your rates. Once you decide to check into ways to save on insurance, you’ll soon discover that shopping around is your best bet.
That’s great advice, but we’ve found that it falls a little short. The best way to get a great deal on insurance is to work with an independent insurance agent who can comparison shop for you.
Unexpected Bumps (in Premiums)
In the last few years, many insurance companies have had to pay out millions and sometimes billions of dollars in natural disaster claims. As a result, they’ve had to raise rates, even on property owners like Susan D. from Holiday, FL, who’ve never filed a claim.
“My husband and I had been happy with our previous insurance, but when they raised our rates 20% with no claims, we decided to shop around,” Susan told us.
Imagine what a 20% increase in insurance premiums could do to your plans to become debt-free this year. Don’t let an unexpected bump derail your plans. Susan called an ELP who not only saved her the 20%, but she got a new policy that saved her $440 a year!
