They often \u201cgrandfather\u201d in-force policies from these changes. But sometimes conditions change dramatically. Then the insurance company decides to make wholesale changes, even to in-force policies. Or, the insurance company may take a specific action on your policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-470c5431618ef3425b0a0f8ec2e0dcb3\" style=\"color:#0f3f81\"><strong>Common Conditional Renewal Types<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>These are the most common changes in a conditional renewal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deductible changes \u2013 This could mean an increased deductible or the introduction of a new type, such as a separate wind or hurricane deductible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Liability Limits \u2013 Your liability insurance protection might be reduced, for example, from $500,000 to $100,000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coverage exclusions or reductions \u2013 Certain coverages, like towing or roadside assistance, might be removed or reduced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large rate increases \u2013 Some states require notification of significant price increases, though this is not the case in Maine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4a33c7103dfa4fd4758ae6bbf465f4a1\" style=\"color:#0f3f81\"><strong>Why Am I Getting a Conditional Renewal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your insurer might be implementing an across-the-board change, such as a new minimum deductible or a wind deductible for any property in a certain location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or the underwriter could be taking specific action on your policy. This is usually in response to claims or some condition that they\u2019ve identified. In this kind of conditional renewal the notice will list the reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-35f8ea19eca1a66ff819ee2ce622b1dc\" style=\"color:#0f3f81\"><strong>Is the Insurance Company Canceling My Policy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, a conditional renewal is NOT a non-renewal. The insurance company is offering to renew your policy, however with different terms than before. On the other hand, if the insurance company mails you a Notice of Nonrenewal, they are terminating your contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b806c4915e5da42e53a3c67ad58fe0ce\" style=\"color:#0f3f81\"><strong>Do I Have Options?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re not required to accept the conditional renewal, but it might still be the best deal for you. Conditional renewal is often a re-calibration to the market. In other words, your insurance company is doing what most new insurers would do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can check with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noyeshallallen.com\/meet-our-team.html\" title=\"\"><strong>Noyes Hall &amp; Allen agent<\/strong><\/a> to see what they think.
