Why Bundle Home and Auto with Farmers?
Farmers offers a combined policy for home and auto that delivers discounts, streamlined billing, and a single point of contact for claims. By linking the two lines, insurers can assess risk more accurately, leading to lower premiums for both properties and vehicles.

Key Benefits of the Bundle
The bundle's main advantages include:
- Discounts: Farmers typically provides a 5–10% reduction on each policy when bundled.
- Convenience: One payment schedule and one customer service team simplify management.
- Claims coordination: A unified claims process can speed resolution when a home and vehicle are affected by the same incident.
Eligibility and Coverage Options
To qualify, applicants must have an active Farmers policy for either home or auto and meet minimum coverage thresholds. Coverage can be customized: homeowners choose dwelling, contents, liability limits; drivers select liability, collision, and comprehensive levels. Bundles do not limit the amount you can insure; they merely combine the two contracts.
Premium Calculation
Farmers calculates the bundled premium by taking the sum of the individual policies and applying a discount factor. The factor depends on:
- Years of continuous coverage with Farmers
- Credit score
- Claims history on both lines
Example: A homeowner with a $1,200 home premium and a $800 auto premium could receive a 7% bundle discount, resulting in $1,800 total instead of $2,000.
Managing the Bundle Online
Farmers' digital portal lets users view both policies side‑by‑side, adjust coverage, and track renewal dates. The portal also offers a mobile app for on‑the‑go updates and a dedicated support chat for bundle inquiries.
When to Consider a Bundle
Bundling is advantageous if:
- You already trust Farmers for one line of coverage.
- You prefer a single payment and claim contact.
- You want to lock in a discount that might rise if you add new lines.
However, if you're shopping for the best rate on a specific line, compare unbundled quotes first.
