Savings for domestic partners on auto insurance

A story published today by Gay Wired notes that times have changed. Most estimates show that over half of the U.S. population will cohabit with a partner at some point in a lifetime. Esurance, a direct-to-consumer personal auto insurance company, encourages cohabiting couples to streamline their finances by purchasing one policy per household.

Esurance is also one of the only insurance companies offering additional savings to cohabiting couples, regardless of their official marital status. Drivers sharing the same garaging address with a significant other may qualify for a multi-car discount on their auto insurance policy.

Kristin Brewe, Esurance's Director of Corporate Communications, explained, "If any driver shares a household with someone, it makes great financial sense to combine auto insurance policies. In addition to potential rate savings, busy couples can save time managing their auto insurance. For two-car households, Esurance's multi-car discount for domestic partners can provide additional savings."

Esurance's multi-car discount is automatically applied when eligible drivers get a quote at www.esurance.com. Esurance customers can also benefit from a variety of additional discounts. Though discounts vary from state to state, Esurance customers can get discounts for good driving, safety and anti-theft equipment, home ownership, and/or certain preferred occupations. Esurance also provides instant rate comparisons to make it easier for customers to shop for auto insurance.
