Set up automatic recurring payments for your insurance premium. By setting up automatic payments, your premiums will be automatically withdrawn from your checking account or credit card each month. You can set up automatic payments through a live representative over the telephone, or through the online website.
If your bank has "Online Banking" and "Online Bill Pay" options available, you can also set up automatic payments through your own bank. Depending upon your bank, you may be charged a fee for using the online bill pay feature.
