“The best place to look for home insurance is with your
car insurance
company. Most companies will offer discounts for bundling. You may get a better overall rate and save a good chunk of money as well.
If that doesn’t work or if you don’t have car insurance, you can call an independent agent to get quotes, shop online to compare rates, or use
