Keeping the same insurer for 10 years. Premiums rise by 5 to 12% each year for no apparent reason. Shopping every 1-2 years protects you from that silent climbing. A broker does this work for free.

Mistakes to avoid when you want to save money

⚠️

Never sacrifice your essential protections

To save $50, some people take out excess liability or collision coverage without having the means to repair their vehicle. Always keep $2 million in civil liability. Save elsewhere: franchising, multi-product, shopping. A broker helps you cut in the right place.

What does NOT work to save?

Hiding an accident

Insurers consult the FCSA (Central Claims File). Omitting = risk of policy cancellation.

Lying about mileage

Detectable at renewal or in the event of a claim. May lead to the denial of compensation.

Put another name as the main

Insurance fraud. Criminal consequences and cancellation of policy.

Does increasing my deductible really reduce my premium?
