Thinking about lowering your premium or adjusting your out-of-pocket costs? At Advice Insurance, we make it simple to change your insurance deductibles in California so your coverage matches your current budget and needs. Whether it’s your auto, homeowners, landlord, or business policy, our team can help you understand the pros and cons of adjusting your deductible before you make a change.
Many California drivers and homeowners adjust deductibles when renewing their policies or when financial situations change. Raising your deductible can help lower your monthly premium, while lowering your deductible can reduce your out-of-pocket costs if you file a claim. Knowing when to adjust your deductible is key to managing risk while keeping your insurance affordable.
What is an Insurance Deductible?
Your deductible is the amount you agree to pay out of pocket before your insurance kicks in for a covered claim. For example, if you have a $1,000 deductible and you file a claim for $5,000 in damage, you would pay $1,000 and your insurer would pay the remaining $4,000 (subject to coverage limits).
Why Consider Changing Your Deductible?
- Lower Your Monthly Premium: Higher deductibles generally mean lower monthly or annual premiums, which can help you save over time if you don’t file frequent claims.
- Reduce Out-of-Pocket Costs: Lowering your deductible will increase your premium, but can reduce what you pay if you need to file a claim for car damage or home repairs.
- Adapt to Life Changes: If your financial situation has changed, adjusting your deductible can help align your policy with your current comfort level for risk and cash flow.
Our team of licensed agents can help you weigh these factors and determine what deductible makes sense for your auto, home, or business policy.
