Zebra tip: Renewal is a great time to shop around
If your policy renewal premium was higher than you're happy with, consider comparing quotes with other companies. Now that you've found your declarations page, you can compare coverage exactly and ensure you are getting quoted for a comparable policy.Â
"A lot of people focus only on the cost of insurance without truly comparing coverage apples to apples. I always encourage folks to go line by line through their policy before switching. Often, you’ll discover that certain coverages were removed, limits were lowered, or deductibles were increased. It’s essential to ensure all coverages are equal first, and then compare the price."
Katie Gold — Head of Agency at The Zebra
