How do I renew car insurance?

I'm pretty happy with my coverage, and I want to renew my car insurance for another year. This is my first policy, though, and I'm not really sure what to do. How should I renew my car insurance?

“Kudos to you for thinking ahead to your renewal! I’m happy to say that most
car insurance
companies will renew your policy automatically after the end of the term, which is generally six months or 12 months.
You’ll usually get a renewal notice in the mail about a month before your renewal. This will outline the type of coverage you have, as well as how much you’ll pay for your premium.
If your premium goes up unexpectedly, it may be a good idea to shop around for new coverage. The easiest way to do this is with the
Jerry
app—we’ll get you multiple customized quotes from top providers so that you can make sure you’re getting the best deal on the coverage you need. And if you want to switch, we’ll even help with that, too!
Best of luck with your renewal!”
