How to Review and Update Your Auto Insurance Policy

You may want to review your auto policy regularly to see if you need to update anything. Whether moving to a new address, buying a new car or adding a new driver, keeping your policy current may ensure you’re adequately protected against covered risks. It may even help you save money.

Here’s how to review and update your auto insurance policy with ease.

Review Your Current Policy

Before making any changes, you may want to review your existing coverage first. Review your coverage limits, deductibles, and riders to ensure the policy aligns with your current lifestyle and needs. Contact your insurer if you’re unsure about any policy wording.

Identify What Needs Updating

Common reasons for updating your policy may include the following:

• Adding or removing drivers or coverage
• Buying or selling a vehicle
• Changes to your driving habits or record
• Moving to a new address or ZIP code
• Considering a new insurance provider
• Becoming eligible for discounts, such as bundling home and auto insurance

Contact Your Insurance Provider

Contact your insurer promptly if you’d like to change your policy. If you want to update your address or add a new vehicle to your policy, you may do so online or through a mobile app. However, if you want to adjust your coverage, call your insurer to speak with an agent.

Compare Rates

You may want to shop around for better rates if your premium increases after an update. Many insurers offer competitive pricing, and switching providers can save you money. However, make sure you have purchased a new policy before canceling your old one to avoid a lapse in coverage.

Confirm the Changes

If you’re not switching to a new insurer, review your new policy details to ensure everything is correct. Keep a copy of your updated policy, especially if you’ve changed vehicles or addresses.
