All About Insurance Grace Periods


Insurance Grace Periods

It is important to review your coverage and learn of the specific grace periods surrounding your individual policy.

With most insurance companies, your policy stays in force during grace periods.

Grace periods are extended times in which to pay an insurance premium. This interval can be as little as 24 hours or stretch out to 30 days.

With most insurance companies, your policy stays in force during grace periods. It is important to review your coverage and learn of the specific grace periods surrounding your individual policy. Do keep this in mind – when your insurance grace period lapses and your coverage cancels due to non-payment at the end of this grace period, you no longer have that insurance protection.

What most people don’t know is that every time a notice of cancellation is issued it counts against them and could affect their ability to obtain coverage or maintain preferred rating status. It can also affect a credit rating as insurance companies will report chronic late paying customers to the credit bureaus.
To obtain new insurance coverage you generally must re-apply for another policy. Insurance approval after a lapsed policy may include higher premiums or new conditions.
