A lot of people let their insurance lapse thinking they'll just pick it back up when they need it again.
Here's what that actually costs you.
Insurance companies treat a gap in coverage as a red flag. It tells them you went a period of time without being insured, and when you come back they charge you more because of it. The longer the gap, the higher the rate.
Continuous coverage is one of the factors that keeps your rate low over time. Staying insured, even during months when money is tight, protects your rate history and keeps you from paying a penalty when you return.
If you're struggling with your premium and thinking about letting it lapse, call us first. We can shop your rate across 20 carriers and find you something you can actually afford to keep. A lower payment is always better than no coverage at all.
