Your insurance checklist after getting married
Marriage is one of the most significant insurance life events. Here is what to review within the first 30 days.
What changes with your insurance
Getting married affects nearly every insurance policy you own. You can now combine auto insurance policies for a significant multi-car discount. You may want to combine home and renters insurance. Life insurance needs change dramatically now that someone depends on you financially. Your health insurance options also change — you have 60 days from your wedding date to join your spouse's employer plan. Reviewing all of these within 30 days of marriage can save hundreds per year.
What you might be overpaying for
- !
Separate auto policies
Combining onto one policy with a multi-car discount typically saves 10-25%.
- !
Duplicate renters insurance
One combined policy covers both spouses for about the same price as one individual policy.
