You need to constantly take an inventory of your belongings to be sure that you are neither over or under covered.

This makes occasional inventory taking important.

The different options available in the choice of amount to be set as your deductible offers an opportunity to lower your rates. The higher the deductible you choose, the lower your rate. Let me explain. If you increase your deductible from $250 to about $500 you can get a savings of 12%. Okay! If you really move it to say $5000, your savings jumps to about 36%.

Be careful with how you set your deductible. You are the one to pay the deductible should you want to make a claim so common sense dictates that the amount you choose should be something you can pay.
