Here are several easy ways to reduce your condo insurance:

  1. Do not insure your condo unit for its full replacement. Unlike homes, condos do not have to be insured for full replacement value if its destroyed in a fire or other disaster. That’s because the structure of your unit is insured by your condo master insurance policy. The only condo insurance coverage you need is personal belongings/furnishings/upgrades and liability.
  2. Be low-risk. Women, non-smokers, and older individuals are more likely to get lower condo insurance premiums because condo insurance providers don’t see these people as such a high risk. Other people who are considered low risk are senior citizens and the self-employed who work from home because these groups tend to spend more time at home; condo insurance providers will give lower premiums to people who spend more time at home because generally reduces the risk of theft or damage.
  3. Seek discounts. You’d be surprised at the amount of condo insurance discounts available that you may be eligible for. Discounts on your condo insurance can be found if you have: anti-theft devices and/or security system; smoke alarm(s) and fire extinguishers in your condo; and if you’re 55 or older/retired. Smoke and security alarms can help you save up to 15 percent on your condo insurance premium; retirees can save an additional 10-25 percent on their condo insurance.
