Finding affordable home insurance in Arizona takes effort, but you can lower your costs. Here's how to save on your policy.
Decide on your coverage limits before shopping to avoid buying more than you need. Understand dwelling coverage, personal property limits and liability protection to get adequate coverage without overpaying.
Compare quotes from at least three insurers for identical coverage levels. Arizona home insurance rates vary by hundreds of dollars annually between companies, even for the same home and profile. Gather quotes online, through agents and directly from insurers to find your best rate.
Save 15% to 25% by bundling your home insurance with auto coverage. Most Arizona insurers offer multi-policy discounts that reduce both premiums.
Ask agents about every discount you qualify for, as insurers won't apply them automatically. Common Arizona discounts include protective device discounts for monitored alarm systems (5% to 20% savings), claims-free discounts and new home discounts. Wind and hail-resistant roofing can lower your premium.
Arizona allows credit-based insurance scoring, so improving your credit can lower your rates. Pay bills on time and reduce credit card balances to see premium reductions at your next renewal.
State Farm leads Arizona for affordable home insurance at $1,334 annually, but your best rate depends on your home's value, location and personal profile. Compare quotes from at least three insurers to find the best cost and coverage for your needs. Start with the companies on our list and ask about available discounts to maximize your savings.
Get answers to common questions about affordable home insurance in Arizona.
Older homes cost more to insure due to outdated electrical, plumbing and roofing systems. Lower your premium by updating these systems and providing documentation to your insurer. Replacing knob-and-tube wiring, updating your roof and installing a modern HVAC system can reduce your rates. Some insurers offer renovation discounts when you complete major updates.
Roof age affects your premium and coverage eligibility. Most Arizona insurers charge higher rates for roofs over 15 years old, and some won't cover roofs over 20 years without inspection. A new roof can lower your premium and qualify you for discounts. Insurers provide actual cash value coverage instead of replacement cost for older roofs, paying less when you file claims.
Some dog breeds increase your liability premium or disqualify you from coverage entirely. Insurers consider pit bulls, Rottweilers, German shepherds and Dobermans high-risk breeds. You'll pay more for liability coverage with these breeds, and some insurers won't cover you at all. Disclose your dog when applying, as hiding this information can lead to claim denials.
Arizona doesn't require flood insurance unless you have a federally backed mortgage in a high-risk flood zone. Standard home insurance doesn't cover flood damage, so you need separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or private insurers.
