The multiple policy discounts is the main reason that you shop for both auto and home insurance with one company. There are other factors involved with having the two with one company. The insurance company gives the discount because it creates retention and retention means profitability. Insurance companies usually begin to profit from a policy holder in and around the sixth or seventh year. They view the multi-policy customer more favorably during the underwriting process at purchase. They will often accept an auto accident or two if the two policies are combined. You may also find that it is much easier to purchase a personal umbrella liability policy if both auto and home insurance are with the same company. There are specific limits required on both auto and home insurance in order to purchase the umbrella policy.

The next time you purchase auto or home insurance make sure that you combine the two in the quoting process. You may leave your self vulnerable for cancellation if you have a mono-line auto policy with one company and a mono-line home policy with another.
