So you've decided that you need life insurance. Congratulations! Now, which company should you go with? With so many options it can seem like analysis overload.
Whoever is writing the life, make sure to ask about options. If they only send you options from one company or can only write one company, you are likely not getting the best rate.
You should shop your life insurance for the following reasons:
- To get the best price. Life insurance premiums can vary significantly from insurer to insurer, even for people with the same health and lifestyle. By shopping around, you can find a policy that offers the coverage you need at a price you can afford.
- To compare different types of policies. There are many different types of life insurance policies available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. By shopping around, you can compare different policies to find the one that best meets your needs and budget.
- To get the best customer service. Not all life insurance companies are created equal. Some companies have better customer service reputations than others. By shopping around, you can find a company that you feel comfortable working with and that will be there to support you if you need them.
Here are some specific things to look for when shopping for life insurance:
- Premiums. Get quotes from multiple insurers to compare premiums. Be sure to compare policies with the same coverage amount, term length, and other features.
- Coverage options. Consider your needs and choose a policy that offers the right type of coverage. For example, if you have dependents, you may need a policy that provides enough coverage to replace your income if you die.
- Customer service. Read reviews of different insurers to get a sense of their customer service reputation. Consider factors such as how easy it is to file a claim and how responsive the insurer is to customer inquiries.
It is also important to note that your life insurance needs may change over time. For example, if you have more children or you take on more debt, you may need to increase your coverage. By shopping your life insurance periodically, you can make sure that you have the right coverage for your current needs.
