When to shop auto insurance

Shop when your risk or leverage changes — not only when an ad promises $30/month. Protect liability limits first; treat collision deductibles as a budget choice.

High-signal moments

  • 45–60 days before renewal — enough time to compare without losing continuous coverage.
  • New vehicle, teen driver, move across rating territories, or marriage/divorce.
  • After a rate shock with no claim — markets reprice; your loyalty discount may no longer clear the bar.
  • When you add umbrella — carriers often require 250/500 underlying BI.

Trap: cheapest sticker

Quotes that drop BI to 25/50 or 50/100, slash UM, or hike deductibles look “wins” on premium and lose on exposure. Parity labels these increases exposure in compare and shop.

Limit floors we recommend checking

  • BI: at least 100/300; 250/500 when income or assets are material.
  • Property damage: $50k–$100k+ (newer vehicles cost more to repair).
  • UM/UIM: match BI — you do not control the other driver’s limits.
  • Collision/comprehensive deductibles: affordability, not maximization.
