Why it’s important to review your policy every year:
Prices fluctuate: Insurers often adjust premiums based on market trends, regional risks, inflation, and a variety of other factors. Checking for better options each year will help ensure you have the best price for the coverage you need.
Coverage needs evolve: Did you buy a new car? Start working from home? Make major purchases? These should all be reflected in your coverage.
Life changes: Marriage, kids, retirement, and even getting a new pet can affect your insurance needs and costs.
New policy options: Insurers often introduce new discounts and coverage options that may be better suited for you. Without revisiting your current policy against new options out there, you might miss out on better coverage or cost savings.
Factors to consider when reviewing your policies:
Coverage: Consider whether your coverage limits reflect your current needs. For example, have you added or removed valuable items from your home that need to be reflected in your coverage? Are all drivers and/or members of your household accounted for? Is temporary housing covered if damage makes your home unlivable? In general, you want to be sure your coverage will get you through the worst-case scenario.
Deductible: Choosing your deductible can be a tricky balance. If you’ve opted for a low deductible, do you have enough money tucked away for potential emergencies? Again, be ready for the worst-case scenario!
Other carriers: If you assume your current policy is still the best option for you, you might be paying more than you need to. Comparing quotes from trusted carriers could help you find better coverage, a lower premium, or both!
Home updates: Have you recently invested in a new roof? How about a new security system or other upgrades? Improvements to your home can help lower your insurance premium.
Discounts: Ask your insurance agent about other discounts and opportunities to save. From bundling home with auto to loyalty discounts and beyond, there might be other ways to lower your insurance costs.
