What to look at every year to keep your coverage right-sized and your premium fair.

5 min read Updated June 1, 2026 Reviewed by Licensed Texas Insurance Agent

An annual review catches everything that drifts — missing discounts, outdated coverage, and life changes the policy hasn't kept up with.

The 10-minute review checklist

  1. Confirm every vehicle and driver is current
  2. Confirm garaging address is correct
  3. Verify liability limits still match your assets
  4. Verify UM/UIM matches your liability
  5. Confirm deductibles you can still pay
  6. Review every discount currently applied
  7. Note any discounts not applied that you might qualify for
  8. Compare premium to a fresh quote from at least 2 other carriers
