How to extend my car insurance?

It looks like my insurance policy term is ending soon. How do I extend my auto policy?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Good news!
Extending a policy with most insurers is as easy as paying a renewal premium on your car insurance policy.
Generally, you will be sent a notice from your
car insurance
 company asking you to renew before the end of your policy. Be sure to consider your policy’s renewal date so you do not open a lapse on your insurance coverage.
The end of your current policy term is a great time to shop for new coverage rates. The easiest way to look for car insurance is by shopping with
Jerry
. Jerry will provide you with competitive quotes from top providers in less than a minute, so you can find the coverage you need at the price you want.
To make things easy, Jerry will even send you new quotes every time your policy is up for renewal—so you know you’re always getting the best rates.

Why You Should Be Paying Attention to Your Car Insurance Renewal

Auto-renewal is pretty standard for car insurance, but it also locks you into your current (or rising) rate. Try re-shopping instead of renewing.
