5 Things Your Insurance Company Won’t Tell You (But We Will)

Written by Wells Insurance | May 8, 2025 10:00:00 AM

Let’s be honest: insurance for young adults isn’t exactly the most thrilling topic. But you know what is thrilling? Not overpaying. Not being caught off guard by fine print. And definitely not dealing with shady surprises when you need help the most. 

At Wells Insurance, we believe in keeping it real. So here are 5 things most insurance companies won’t tell you... but we will—because adulting is already hard enough without all the insurance mystery.

1. You’re Probably Paying for Stuff You Don’t Need 💸

Most companies will upsell you on coverage “just in case.” And sure, sometimes more coverage makes sense—but sometimes, it’s totally unnecessary.

💡 Real Talk Tip: If your car is older, you probably don’t need full coverage. If you rent a furnished apartment, you might not need as much renters insurance. Customize your plan to fit your actual life.

2. Your Loyalty Might Be Costing You 👀

Staying with the same insurer for years sounds responsible, right? But unlike your favorite coffee shop, insurance companies don’t reward loyalty like they should. In fact, rates often go up over time—without you even noticing.

💡 Real Talk Tip: Shop around at least once a year. Or better yet, have someone do it for you (keep reading 👇).

3. Bundling Isn’t Always the Best Deal 📦❌

We know—“Bundle and save!” is everywhere. And sometimes? It’s true. But other times, bundling your home, auto, or renters insurance can actually cost more than buying separate policies from different companies.

💡 Real Talk Tip: Always compare bundled vs. unbundled quotes. Don’t just assume you’re getting a deal because the ad says so.

4. Filing a Claim Can Increase Your Rates 🚨

Yes, your insurance is there to protect you—but every claim you file gets noted. Even small ones. And depending on the situation, your rate could go up after.

💡 Real Talk Tip: If the damage is minor and repairable out-of-pocket, it might be cheaper in the long run to skip the claim. Talk to an agent you trust (👋 hey, that’s us) before deciding.

5. Not All Insurance Agencies Are the Same — And That Matters 🧠

Here’s the big one most companies won’t admit: buying direct from a big-name insurer often means you’re stuck with their pricing, their policies, and zero help navigating it.

But Wells Insurance? We’re an independent agency. That means:

✅ We’re not locked into one company.
✅ We shop around multiple top insurers for you.
✅ We help you compare policies and prices (so you don’t have to).
✅ We work for you, not the insurance company.

💡 Real Talk Tip: Think of us like your insurance BFF—we’ll do the annoying stuff (like quoting and comparing) and help you find the best deal for your life and your budget. You don’t need to figure it all out on your own.

Bottom Line: Insurance Doesn’t Have to Be a Mystery 🕵️‍♀️

The more you know, the more money you save—and the better protected you are. At Wells Insurance, we’re not here to sell you fluff. We’re here to help you understand your options, find the best coverage, and feel confident doing this whole “adulting” thing.
