Why the End of the Year Is the Perfect Time to Review Your Insurance

🚨 Why Timing Matters More Than You Think

As the year comes to a close, many people focus on holiday plans, year-end finances, and setting goals for the year ahead. One important task that often gets overlooked? Reviewing your insurance coverage.

Did you know insurance rates often increase as soon as the calendar flips to January 1st? New rating factors, underwriting changes, and market adjustments frequently take effect at the start of the new year — which can result in higher premiums if you wait.

That’s why now is the best time to shop your auto, home, and business insurance. Reviewing your coverage before the end of the year allows you to lock in today’s rates for the next 12 months, avoid surprise increases, and start the new year with confidence.

At Mauceri Bynum Insurance, we help clients get ahead of renewal season — not react to it.


πŸš— Auto Insurance: Rates, Drivers & Vehicles Change

The end of the year is a great time to review your auto insurance, especially if you’ve experienced any of the following changes:

  • Added or removed a vehicle

  • New teen driver or change in household drivers

  • Work-from-home or commute changes

  • Rate increases at renewal

Auto insurance rates continue to fluctuate across Texas, and loyalty doesn’t always equal savings. As an independent insurance agency, we shop your auto insurance with multiple carriers to ensure you’re getting the best value — not just a renewal increase.


🏑 Home Insurance: Rebuild Costs & Coverage Gaps

Home values and rebuild costs in North Texas have changed dramatically in recent years. An end-of-year homeowners insurance review helps ensure:

  • Your dwelling limit reflects current construction costs

  • You have the right deductible for wind and hail

  • Your personal property limits are adequate

  • Discounts (like impact-resistant roof credits) are applied

Many homeowners are underinsured without realizing it — especially if they haven’t reviewed their policy in several years.


🏒 Business Insurance: Don’t Wait Until Renewal Week

January is the busiest renewal month for commercial insurance, and waiting until the last minute can limit your options.

Reviewing your business insurance before year-end allows time to:

  • Shop coverage with multiple commercial carriers

  • Negotiate pricing directly with underwriters

  • Adjust coverage for growth, new locations, or employees

  • Avoid rushed renewals and surprise premium increases

At Mauceri Bynum Insurance, we work with over 30 commercial carriers and have the ability to negotiate pricing — often securing significant savings compared to last-minute renewals.


πŸ” Life Changes = Insurance Changes

The end of the year is also a natural checkpoint for life and business changes that may impact your coverage, such as:

  • Buying or selling a home

  • Starting or expanding a business

  • Hiring employees or adding vehicles

  • Marriage, divorce, or children moving out

Insurance should evolve as your life does — and an annual review helps ensure nothing is missed.
