Price comparison is still one of the most basic rules to determine what type of product is best for you. However, specialists say that switching insurers just to save some money causes owner insurance policyholders to lose valuable claims-free discounts and puts the client in a different relationship with other company. For similar reasons, specialists recommend not to file small claims since the client may also lose claims-free discounts. Even worse, it may result in the client being dropped by the insurer after a few small claims, a practice being adopted by many insurance companies.
The CLUE database it's a report in which insurance companies share important information about clients. It's important to keep this report updated and free of errors or misinformations that can make it difficult to find affordable coverage. Properties have also a CLUE report, that should be checked in order to know about some problems in advance.
