How Does Every Insurance Company Save You Money When You Switch?

The Hartford advertises that customers who switch to them save an average of $443 annually. 

State Farm advertises "switch & save up to $480!"

Travelers advertises $468 savings

Consumers are constantly barraged with insurance ads claiming savings for those who switched.  It's so commonplace that it's almost background noise to most of us.  You kind of know what the basic insurance commercial script is before you've ever even seen it.  The only question is will the Mayhem guy get hit by a car, or the Farmers professor crash a blimp into the classroom, or will the State Farm frat boys use their agent to get a hot tub in their living room.  (We'll deal with the subject of ridiculous insurance commercial premises later)

Logic tells us, that most people are only going to switch insurance for savings.  Most people do not switch policies to spend more.  So you would expect every company to be able to trumpet savings for customers who switch to their insurance.

CBS News ran a story a while back where they actually quizzed the insurance companies on their methodogies in determining the savings amounts.  So, while it is common sense that every company should be able to report average savings for those who switch, the savings amounts are very subjective.  As CBS News reported, savings can be found for those who shop, but no company offers the best deals to EVERY customer.  They point out the legal verbiage that insurance carriers lawyers provide stating that the savings are an average of those customers who said they saved when they switched.  So, it's not an average of ALL customers who switched - just those who saved, which further exagerates the potential savings.

Obviously, there is no simple way of finding the best rates and value for your needs.  Insurance can provide an important service when you're in need.  It's also a very complicated purchase most of the time, so you need to partner yourself with capable professionals if you don't feel confident shopping for insurance.  The best way to make sure you get the best value and rate is to shop the marketplace and find the carrier that rates your risk the best.
