When your insurance policy renews, it’s easy to just let it roll over — especially if nothing major has changed. But that simple auto-renewal could be costing you hundreds of dollars a year.

At Greg Wilson Agency, we believe in helping our neighbors in Glenpool and the surrounding communities make smart, confident choices about their insurance. That starts with understanding why re-shopping your policy at renewal time is a smart financial move — even if you haven’t filed a claim.

Why Do Insurance Rates Go Up at Renewal?

Even if your driving record or home haven’t changed, your rates can still go up. Here’s why:

  • Market shifts: Inflation, construction costs, and weather patterns (like Oklahoma storms) affect rates.

  • Carrier re-rating: Insurance companies regularly update how they price risk, even for loyal customers.

  • Loyalty doesn’t always mean savings: Staying with one carrier too long can actually work against you if you’re not re-evaluating options.

How Re-Shopping Helps You Save

Independent agencies like ours work with multiple top-rated carriers, not just one. That gives you options every year.

By comparing quotes at renewal, we can:

 

  • Find lower rates for the same or better coverage

  • Apply new discounts you might now qualify for

  • Switch carriers easily — without gaps in protection

What Coverage Should You Review?

When we re-shop for clients, we take a second look at:

 

  • Auto insurance: Can you raise your deductible? Are you overpaying for full coverage on an older car?

  • Home insurance: Does your dwelling limit still reflect replacement costs? Are you covered for wind and hail?

  • Umbrella: Are your assets protected if a major claim exceeds your primary limits?

When to Re-Shop

The best time is:

  • 30–45 days before renewal — this gives us time to shop and switch if needed

  • After a life change — new car, move, marriage, business ownership, or even a new teen driver

  • If your rate jumped without explanation
