How this section is organized
Our FAQ section focuses on the questions consumers most often ask right before a decision: why premiums change, whether the cheapest quote is truly best, how lapses affect pricing and compliance, and what should be checked before changing insurers.
Why did my premium increase?
Premiums can rise because of market repricing, claims severity, repair inflation, location risk, underwriting changes, or changes to the policy itself.
What happens if my policy lapses?
A lapse can trigger higher premiums, administrative complexity, and possible compliance issues depending on the state and filing context.
How often should I compare quotes?
At minimum, before renewal, after a move, after household changes, or whenever there is a material premium increase.
