When an insurance policy does not offer a continuation or replacement at its expiration date, it is considered a
Nonrenewal
non-renewable policy.
Non-renewable policies are insurance policies that end on a specific date and do not offer an option for renewal or extension once the policy period is over. This means that the policyholder must seek out a new policy from the same or a different insurance company if they wish to continue their insurance coverage.
Some common examples of non-renewable policies include short-term health insurance plans, trip insurance, and homeowner’s insurance for homes with high-risk factors such as a history of hazardous conditions. Non-renewable policies can also occur in the context of car insurance, where a driver may have been deemed too high-risk for an insurance company to continue coverage.
It is important for policyholders to carefully review the terms of their insurance policies to determine whether they offer renewal or replacement options at expiration and to plan accordingly if not.
