Raise the bar (on your deductible): Think of your deductible as a self-insurance shield. Bumping it up to a slightly uncomfortable level can significantly lower your premiums. Just remember to build a rainy-day fund to cover potential repairs.
Credit score superpowers: Your credit score is like a financial force field. Improving will help reduce higher premiums.
Discount detective: Every insurer has hidden treasure! Ask about bundled policies, home security perks, and even military or senior discounts. You might be surprised at the savings you unearth.
Arbitration ace: Some insurers offer discounts for agreeing to arbitration in case of disputes. Arbitration can be a win-win – you save on premiums and get faster dispute resolutions.
