Homing in on Homeowners Insurance Help — and Beyond
South Dakotan homeowners in 2007 paid just $618 for their HO-3 homeowners premiums, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. This ranked the state as one of the best for HO-3 policies — for comparison, the average US homeowner paid $822 that year. Louisiana, Florida, and Texas homeowners all paid more than $1,400 for their policies. All that said, $618 is still a lot of money — and your rates may be substantially higher if you have had flood or weather damage, or if you have a low credit score. To get better numbers, consider raising your deductible. Also, insure your home and auto on the same policy to get a potential savings of 30% or more. Storm-proof your home and add security and sprinkler systems. Finally, discuss your needs with a live agent, and shop around for Rapid City insurance quotes.
Of course, while you should cost-cut where possible, don’t skimp on Rapid City insurance. For instance, consider liability. Say someone slips and falls on your property. She can sue you for medical bills and other costs. Liability coverage can protect your pocketbook from this potential calamity. Again, your best bet is to shop around for quotes and speak with an agent who has credentials and who knows the local market and the hazards that fellow South Dakotans face.
