Insurance FAQ’s: Should my partner and I combine our auto insurance policies?
Once in a while we hear from couples (married or not) who want to keep their auto insurance policies separate for various reasons. However, as insurance advisors who want to get you the best coverage at the best price, we often recommend that you combine your policies if you are living together. Plus, did you know that in the state of Virginia, married couples are required by law to be listed as rated drivers on each other’s policy?
If you don’t combine policies, you’re overpaying for insurance. Having one insurance bill is less expensive then having two. Plus, when you are combine your auto policies, you are eligible for more discounts. You should also both be listed on your homeowners or renters insurance policy too! It just makes financial sense to be on the same policy. And if you are married couple in Virginia, you are required to be on each others auto insurance anyway.
Worried about splitting the bill? Your insurance agent can itemize the bill so that you each know what you are responsible for (if that’s what you prefer). It’s also incredible easy to change if someone were to move out.
Here’s the bottom line: It’s really a no-brainer to combine your insurance policies with your significant other if you live together.
