Payment Options
Premium Financing — Pay Monthly Instead of Annually
Large commercial or specialty insurance premiums can be difficult to pay in a single lump sum. Premium financing lets you spread the cost over 10–12 monthly payments. Here is how it compares to paying directly.
| Feature | Pay Directly (Annual) | Premium Financing (Monthly) |
|---|---|---|
| Who pays carrier upfront | You (lump sum) | Finance company |
| Payment structure | One payment at policy start | Monthly installments (typically 10–12 months) |
| Finance charge | None | 8–15% APR (varies by company) |
| Best for | Policies under $3,000/year | Policies over $5,000/year |
| Cancellation risk | None | Finance company can cancel for non-payment |
| Common use | Personal auto, home, renters | Commercial, wildfire specialty, farm & ranch |
