If the risk associated with the stock or internal items are low, you can choose the lowest possible deductible. You should not forget the fact that the highest deductible will make you pay more out of your pocket in the event of any damage.
Hence, you should strike the right balance by opting for the most appropriate premium as per your needs. - Get Insurance from the Same Company: While renewing the insurance policy, you can strike a deal by continuing your association with the same insurance company. Some insurance companies will reduce the deductible during claims.
However, you can shop around to get better deals from other insurance companies. You should compare the features and the premium and should settle for the insurance plan to fulfill your needs. - Inform the Improvements: If there are improvements at the premises, you can bring them to the notice of the insurance company. If the insurance company is satisfied with the installation of the fireproof equipment and fire safety devices, the insurance company can reduce the premium.
The safety training provided to the staff at the workplace will also have a positive impact on the assessment of risk within your premises. You should take steps to convince the insurance company that the risk of fire is low or the fire mitigation systems are in place as per the latest standards. Thus, it is possible to reduce the premium substantially. - Manage the Record of your Possessions: While buying an insurance policy, you should manage an accurate record of your possessions. The items which should be covered by the insurance policy should be listed and you should mention the value of the items as well.
If you keep a record of your valuable items, they can be quoted in the claim very easily. You can also take a video so that you can identify the items accurately after the mishap. - Bundle with Other Insurance Policies: If you buy two or more insurance policies from the same insurance company, you are likely to get a discount on the insurance premium. If you buy insurance cover for your automobiles from a general insurance company, you can buy a comprehensive insurance policy to cover the property as well. The insurance company will give a discount on the 2nd insurance policy to the extent of 5% or 10%.
