Everyone knows the importance of protecting or insuring their automobile, house, condo or in case of renting a place, insuring their personal belongings.

Most opt for individual auto & property insurance policies. But did you know that there’s more than one way to save on your personal auto & property insurance premiums? Being insured under a Group Auto & Home plan can save a substantial premium plus get extra coverages and higher limits of coverage at no extra cost.
What is group insurance?
Have you ever heard the phrase, “There’s strength in numbers”? That saying is particularly true when it comes to groups of people working for the same corporation, members of professional association, trade union, credit union, school alumni association or non-profit organization. Large numbers result in buying power that makes insurance companies sit up, take notice, and most importantly, offer discounts. A lot of workplaces and associations partner with insurance companies, giving them access to their members in return for discounted pricing for everyone who signs up. It’s really a win-win for all involved; the insurance company can offer its services (car, home, condo, tenants, recreation vehicle, seasonal and pet insurance, for example) to an exclusive audience it might not have had access to otherwise and, since the likelihood of multiple members of the group purchasing policies is high, the ones who sign up get exclusive access to savings.
