Ask about payment schedule options
Some insurance companies charge extra for customers that choose a monthly payment schedule over an annual one. Enquire about any applicable fees that come with each type of payment schedule and choose the one with the least fees.
Review your insurance policy before renewing
Review your insurance policy annually to see if there is anything that you may need to change, if there is something that you do not understand, contact your insurance broker to review the policy with you and see if they can help you save money on insurance.
Consider a hybrid or electric vehicle
Some insurance providers offer auto insurance discounts to policyholders who drive eco-friendly vehicles, like hybrid or electric vehicles, instead of gas-powered vehicles.
Sign up for a driver's ed course
Enroll in a driver education course or a defensive driving course that has been approved by the province of Nova Scotia and you could qualify for a driving school certificate insurance discount.
Install an anti-theft device in your car
Simultaneously minimize the odds of your car being stolen and quality for a car insurance discount by purchasing and outfitting your vehicle with an anti-theft device.
Equip your home or office with a security system
Reduce the risk of theft at your home or place of business by installing monitored security systems in both. Your insurance provider may also offer you a discount for this.
Swap summer tires for winter tires
Prioritize winter safety by installing snow tires on your car. If you meet the conditions, having winter tires on your car could make you eligible for a car insurance discount of up to 5%.
Drive safely
Obey the rules of the road and avoid getting into any accidents, and you could qualify for a safe driver discount on car insurance.
Research telematics discounts
Install a telematics device in your car and exhibit safe driving skills to earn a telematics-based auto insurance discount.
Install a sump pump or sewer back detection device in your home
You could receive a discount on Springhill home insurance if you install a sump pump or sewer backup detection device on your property, both of which reduce the odds of a flood and subsequent water damage.
Update your home
Ensure that your home receives updates, such as plumbing, roof, electrical, and HVAC systems are all liabilities that could increase your rates.
Avoid buying a house with a pool
Swimming pools are major liabilities, and so to avoid a high house insurance premium, it’s best to buy a property without a pool.
Buy a home near emergency services
Choose a Springhill home that is located near emergency services or a fire hydrant if you wish to qualify for a reduced property insurance rate.
Pay down your mortgage
Pay down the mortgage on your Springhill home and inform your insurance broker as soon as you do so. Many insurers offer mortgage-free house insurance discounts to policyholders.
Manage risk at your workplace
Come up with a risk management strategy for your business and implement it. Doing so can significantly reduce the chances of an incident occurring at your workplace, and the fewer claims you make, the cheaper your commercial insurance policy will be.

Springhill insurance FAQs
Where can I buy insurance in Springhill?
Springhill customers can find insurance in many ways. It can be purchased online, over the phone, or in person at an insurance agent’s or broker’s office near them. Buying an insurance policy is quicker and easier than ever before. It is also more convenient since it can be done from the comfort of your own home. Depending on the policy you are looking for, finalizing your coverage can take as little as 15 or 20 minutes.
Should I renew my Springhill insurance policy?
The answer to this question will vary from person to person as each policyholder’s needs are different. In addition, insurance companies underwrite constantly, which means that your insurance premium is likely to change from year to year. Therefore, your rates are unlikely to stay the same, which means a policy that may have been affordable in the past may be too expensive now, prompting you to change your policy. Generally speaking, insurance professionals recommend reviewing your policy before it expires to determine if you want to renew it or purchase a new one.
Consider factors like whether your current coverage still makes sense, along with your selected deductibles and coverage limits. Changing any of these variables can affect your rates. For example, if you are looking to lower your premium before renewing, consider cutting back on coverage, reducing your coverage limits, or raising your policy deductible.
How can I save money on insurance in Springhill?
Customers can find affordable insurance in Springhill in many ways. First, they can shop around and compare insurance quotes from various providers to ensure they are getting the most competitive rate for their policies. Second, they can research insurance discounts that may be available to them. Many insurance companies offer employment, education, and charity-based discounts.
There are also several discounts that are specific to certain types of insurance, such as burglar alarm system home insurance discounts and winter tire or telematics car insurance discounts, among others. A few other money-saving insurance tips for Springhill customers include buying multiple insurance products from the same provider, a process known as bundling, increasing the deductible on your Springhill insurance policy, or paying for your policy annually rather than monthly to avoid hidden transaction fees.
Are insurance quotes free in Springhill?
Yes, Springhill customers can find free insurance quotes online. Free insurance quotes are typically available from insurance agents and insurance brokers and can be obtained for everything from pet insurance and home insurance to commercial insurance and car insurance. Free quotes are usually quick and easy to receive. However, customers should be prepared to provide some important information. The specific information needed depends on the type of insurance quote you are seeking.
Is auto insurance required in Springhill?
Yes, if you are a driver in Springhill, then auto insurance is required. Car insurance is mandatory everywhere in Nova Scotia. If caught driving without insurance, including with an expired insurance policy, you could face fines worth thousands of dollars. You could also have your driver’s licence temporarily suspended and your car impounded. Therefore, purchasing a valid insurance policy is crucial before hitting the road.
Is home insurance required in Springhill?
If you bought your Springhill home with a mortgage or you lease your Springhill home, then you might need to purchase home insurance. It ultimately depends on the terms and conditions of the contract you signed in either scenario. Some mortgage lenders, banks, and landlords require borrowers and tenants to purchase home insurance as a way of protecting themselves. If you sign a mortgage or lease agreement that states you must purchase home insurance for the contract to be valid, then you are obligated to purchase property insurance.
Why do insurance premiums increase?
There are many reasons
why insurance premiums increase. Insurance companies are frequently underwriting behind the scenes, which means your rates may not stay the same from year to year. A variety of factors influence insurance rates. The specific factors are dependent on the type of insurance being purchased. However, generally speaking, the more claims you submit, the more likely your insurance premium will increase. For example, if you got into multiple car accidents in the course of a year, your premium would likely increase upon renewal.
