Cutting the Costs of Second Home Insurance
The initial cost of second home insurance often shocks our clients. However, there are discounts that apply to a variety of coverage options.
Common second home insurance discounts include:
- Bundling: If you bundle all of your homeowners insurance policies with us, you can often receive a second home insurance discount or a multi-policy discount.
- Installing security systems: One reason why insurance for second homes can cost more than your first home has to do with the fact that most second homeowners do not spend as much time in their second homes. The time left unattended opens the insurance company to greater risks, such as theft or fire. Installing a security system, and running it when you are not present, can help lower that risk for the company.
- Renting out your second home: Having tenants rent your home when you are not using it can lower the cost of your insurance, as this also lowers the risk for the underwriter.
