Common Situation

It's Renewal Time and I Want a Second Look

Send us your renewal and your current declarations page. A licensed producer reads them with you, line by line: what your limits are, what changed since last year, what the policy excludes, and whether another California-admitted carrier fits your situation better. There is no obligation to move anything.

What's going on

Why Is a Renewal Worth Reading?

  1. 01

    Your limits are old

    The dwelling amount and liability limit were set when the policy started. Rebuild costs and your exposure have both moved since.

  2. 02

    Your life changed

    A remodel, a new driver, a marriage, a business, or a second property all belong on the policy and often are not.

  3. 03

    The renewal changed terms

    Deductibles, endorsements, and coverage caps can shift at renewal. The change is disclosed, but it is easy to miss.

  4. 04

    Nobody read the exclusions to you

    Water backup, roof settlement, ordinance and law, and smoke limits are where claims get denied. Those are worth reading before a claim.

What to do

What Happens in a Policy Review?

We read your declarations page with you and tell you plainly what it does and does not do.

Send us the renewal and the declarations page for everything you carry — home, auto, umbrella, business. We check the limits against what you own now, look for coverage you are paying for twice, and list the exclusions that matter for your property.

Then we tell you whether staying put is the right answer. Sometimes an endorsement on your current policy fixes it. Sometimes another California-admitted carrier fits better. Either way you see the comparison in writing and decide for yourself.

Bring every policy, not just the one that changed. Gaps usually live between policies rather than inside one of them.

How premiums work

What Moves a Renewal Premium

Rebuild costs change over time, and the dwelling amount usually adjusts with them. That is a coverage change as much as a price change.

Claims history, roof age, and documented mitigation all feed the rating on a home. On auto, drivers, vehicles, and mileage do the same.

Your deductible, your limits, and how your policies are grouped are the levers you control. We show you what each one changes before you decide anything.

Questions

Policy Review — FAQ

Do I have to switch carriers to get a review?

+
No. Plenty of reviews end with you staying where you are, sometimes with one endorsement added. We tell you what we find either way.

What should I send you?

+
The renewal notice and the declarations page for every policy you carry. The declarations page is the one that lists limits and deductibles, and it is where a review actually starts.

How often should I do this?

+
Once a year is plenty for most households, plus any time something changes — a remodel, a new driver, a new property, a new hire, or a business that grew.
Non-renewal help

Non-renewed, or having trouble finding coverage?

Send us the notice or tell us what's been declined. We read it with you, check the California-admitted carriers we represent for your address, and explain the FAIR Plan with a companion policy where that's the route — and what each does and does not cover.
