Compare What Your Insurance Offers Cover

A cheaper premium can come with different limits or claim terms. Bring two offers, identify the differences and prepare questions for your agent.

No signup. No automatic winner. Entries remain in this page's memory and clear when you reload. Avoid names, addresses, policy numbers or other personal information.

Use the same insured property or vehicles, coverage dates and requested limits. Leave a field blank if the offer does not explain it. Enter amounts as numbers without currency symbols or commas.

Annualized premium is arithmetic, not a renewal prediction. Include fees and installment charges separately. A percentage deductible uses the dwelling limit you enter; minimum deductibles, separate limits and policy terms may change the actual amount.

Ask These Questions Before You Decide

  • Are the insured property, limits, term and deductibles the same?
  • How does each policy settle a roof, vehicle or personal-property claim?
  • Which exclusions, endorsements, waiting periods or coverage conditions apply?
  • Is an optional coverage included, unavailable or simply missing from this offer?
  • What remains unknown, and can the agent show it in the actual policy?

This worksheet is educational. It does not confirm coverage or recommend a policy. Ask TCDS how to share documents securely for a review.

Coverage questions and answers

Does the lower premium mean the better policy?

No. Compare the same policy term, limits, deductibles, settlement terms, endorsements and exclusions. The worksheet does not choose a winner or confirm coverage.

Are these carrier quotes?

No. Enter figures from offers you already have. The worksheet supplies no carrier prices and stores nothing on a server. Your insurer determines final pricing and coverage.

How are premiums annualized?

A monthly premium is multiplied by twelve; a six-month premium by two. A twelve-month premium stays unchanged. This arithmetic comparison does not predict renewal prices. Fees and installment charges may differ.

What should I enter when an offer is missing a detail?

Leave it blank. Missing values appear as Unknown. Ask the agent or insurer to explain the declarations, exclusions and endorsements before choosing.

Independent choice

Personal, business, and specialty markets—matched to your needs and eligibility. A directory listing does not mean every partner can quote every product or state.
