    End-of-Year Car Insurance Review: What to Check, Update, or Change Before 2026

    Car Insurance: What to Review Before Year-EndAs the year wraps up, it’s the perfect time to sit down and do an end-of-year insurance review. Whether you’ve upgraded your car, experienced major life changes, or simply want to make sure you’re getting the best value, a quick annual check can protect you from major financial surprises down the road.  Below, we break down the most important things to evaluate—especially when it comes to your car insurance coverage. Why End-of-Year Insurance Reviews Matter Many drivers set up their auto insurance policies and never revisit them. But things change throughout the year: your driving habits, your vehicle’s value, your commute, your household, and your financial situation. A year-end insurance review ensures you’re not: UnderinsuredOverpaying for unnecessary coverageMissing out on discountsHere’s what to look at before the new year begins. 1. After-Market Features & Upgrades You Should Report Not all vehicle upgrades impact your premiums the same way. Some safety-enhancing features might actually help lower your insurance costs. Report these upgrades to your insurer: DashcamsAnti-theft systems or advanced car alarmsParking sensors or upgraded safety techBlind-spot mirrors or visibility-enhancing additions2. When to Adjust Your Liability Coverage Liability coverage is one of the most important parts of your auto insurance policy. It protects your assets if you cause an accident. You should consider increasing your liability limits if: Your income or assets increased this yearYou bought a home or built significant equityYou got married or combined financesYou added a teen driver to the household3. When to Update Collision or Comprehensive Coverage As your vehicle ages, its insurance needs change. Collision and comprehensive coverage are most valuable on cars that still hold significant value. Consider reducing or dropping collision/comprehensive if: Your car is older and has depreciated significantlyYour deductible is close to the car’s valueYou’re comfortable replacing or repairing the vehicle out of pocketConsider adding or increasing coverage if: You purchased a new or newer vehicleYou moved to an area with higher crime, theft, vandalism, or weather-related risks4. Additional End-of-Year Car Insurance Tips Check Your Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage This is one of the most important parts of your policy. In cities like Los Angeles or other major metro areas, a shocking percentage of drivers are uninsured or underinsured. This coverage protects you when the at-fault driver can’t.
