Turner Wood & Smith Insurance offers a number of proven methods for reducing insurance premiums without affecting coverage. We recommend a review of your program to determine if the areas below can be managed differently to reduce costs. We are ready to help you work through the process.
Here are five methods we recommend you consider.
1. Commercial Insurance – Merge insurance policies. Consolidating auto, property and liability under one policy can provide “package” credits.
2. Automobile Program – Make sure all your commercial vehicles are “classified” correctly. For example, having a pick-up classified as a commercial delivery truck can increase costs. Consider self- insuring physical damage coverage on certain vehicles.
3. Workers’ Compensation – If you have had large losses, it could be beneficial to have a third party medical bill review completed.
4. Increase Deductibles – Consider increasing your property deductible to $5,000, or even $10,000. Also, think about increasing auto deductibles on older vehicles. If your losses are low, over time you might save enough in premiums to pay for future losses.
5. Program Audit – Have TWS complete an audit of your entire program. We can evaluate exposures your company has and discover what options would be best for your individual needs. Let us be a second set of eyes to uncover exposures not currently addressed.
