If you’ve been wondering whether you’re overpaying for home and auto insurance, you’re not alone. Most people in La Crosse and the surrounding areas renew the same policy year after year without ever shopping their rates.
The truth? Insurance companies change pricing constantly. That means the company that was cheapest for you two years ago might be one of the most expensive today.
At Preferred Insurance Agency, we specialize in helping Wisconsin families shop their insurance the right way—without the stress, confusion, or pushy sales tactics.
Let’s break down how to do it and why it matters.
Why You Should Shop Your Home & Auto Insurance
1. Rates Change More Than You Think
Insurance carriers adjust rates based on:
- Claims in your area
- Inflation & repair costs
- Weather losses in Wisconsin
- Credit & insurance scoring changes
- Company profitability
Even if you haven’t filed a claim, your premium can still increase.
2. Bundling Isn’t Always the Cheapest
Many people assume bundling home and auto automatically gives the best deal.
Sometimes it does.
But not always.
As an independent agency, Preferred Insurance shops multiple carriers at once to see whether:
- Bundling saves the most
- Splitting carriers saves more
- Specialty companies offer better protection
3. Coverage Gaps Are Common
When we review policies, we often find:
- Homes underinsured due to rising rebuild costs
- High deductibles people didn’t realize they had
- Liability limits too low to protect assets
- Missing endorsements (water backup, equipment breakdown, etc.)
Shopping insurance isn’t just about price—it’s about protection.
When Is the Best Time to Shop Insurance?
You should review your insurance if:
- Your rates increased at renewal
- You bought or refinanced a home
- You added drivers or vehicles
- Your credit improved
- You filed (or didn’t file) claims recently
- It’s been 2–3 years since your last quote
Even small life changes can impact premiums.

That means we quote you with multiple top-rated carriers at once.
Our process:
- Quick coverage review
- Compare current vs. new options

- $300–$800/year savings on bundled home & auto
- Better deductibles for similar premiums
