Term life insurance

Can I renew my term life insurance policy when the term ends?

Yes. Most term policies renew automatically at the end of the term, without health questions, up to a maximum age set in the policy. The premium goes up at each renewal, based on your age at the time. If you’re still healthy, a new policy usually costs less than renewing, though you’ll answer health questions again.
