Which renewal provision guarantees renewal to a certain age but allows rate changes by class?

• A. Noncancelable
• B. Optionally renewable
• C. Guaranteed renewable
• D. Conditionally renewable

Answer: (C)

Renewal provisions determine whether an insurer must renew a policy and how premiums may change. A guaranteed renewal provision ensures the policy will be renewed up to a specified age, and the insurer cannot cancel the policy at renewal. Premiums, however, can change, but only by class (based on the insured’s age or other classifying factors), not for individuals. This means you’re guaranteed renewal through the set age, while your rate can shift with changes in the class, not due to individual risk factors. That combination—renewal guaranteed to a certain age with class-based premium changes—is exactly what guaranteed renewal describes.
