About the Author
Managing Editor
Ben Breiner is the Managing Editor of ValuePenguin/LendingTree's insurance vertical. He oversees a team of writers who focus on guiding readers through the rigors of home and auto coverage. He still loves that moment when the words fall together and he can translate an intimidating topic so a reader can make the best choice.
Ben got involved in insurance in 2021 when he joined ValuePenguin. He moved up from writer to editor and watched the team grow to expand the ways it helps consumers. Before that, he spent a decade as a sportswriter for newspapers in the Southeast and Midwest.
Ben had to put off buying his first car because of high insurance rates, so he's keenly aware how the wrong policy can get in the way of your goals. He should've shopped around and looked to the experts.
Insurance tip
Always keep an eye out for insurance you can load up on at a low price. A lot more liability coverage won't break the bank and protects your hard-earned assets.
