Planning to Relocate? Reassess Your Coverage.
If there's a move in your future, make sure you're protected with the right insurance for your home—and car.

When you're going to move, having adequate homeowners insurance (or renters insurance) is a given. But there are other insurance-related matters to consider. For example, a move could affect your auto insurance as well as your homeowners insurance. These tips will help you protect your assets, wherever you go.

Shop for Homeowners Insurance Savings:

A new home means a new rate for homeowners insurance. This is a great time to do some comparison shopping, whether you're moving across town or across the country.

Your homeowners insurance protects what is probably your greatest asset, covering not only your home, but your personal property and more. Learn more about homeowners insurance from The Hartford.

When you're shopping for homeowners insurance, look for bundled discounts. For example, the Hartford offers savings when you insure both your auto and your home with us. Learn more about our auto insurance discounts.

New Home, New Auto Insurance Rate

Changing your address could affect your auto insurance rates; depending on your new location, your premium could increase or decrease. Again, this is a good time to shop around for the best rates.

It's also a good idea to take another look at your auto liability coverage limits. When you buy a home, you may acquire more assets (for example, if you're moving into a more expensive place). Your policy is designed to protect your assets (and finances) if you get involved in an accident.

Our Coverage Guide can help you determine how much coverage is right for you.

Preserve Your Loved Ones' Standard of Living

Getting acclimated to a new home is important, and it takes time. Make sure that your loved ones won't have to be unexpectedly uprooted if something happens to you. Life insurance can provide the proceeds to help manage the mortgage if you die, allowing your family to remain in their home and maintain the standard of living to which they are accustomed.
