What term life insurance is

Coverage for a set period — 10, 20, or 30 years — usually while a mortgage or kids depend on your income.

The most coverage per dollar of any life insurance. Your payment is locked for the duration of the term.

This page is term only — not whole life, not burial insurance. If you're protecting a family or a mortgage, you're in the right place.

Frequently asked questions

How does this work? Can I shop by myself?

Yes. Fill out the form, see quotes, pick a carrier, and start their application online. Depending on the carrier and your health, requirements range from a simple records check to a full exam. Prefer help? A licensed independent agent is standing by — and the price is the same either way.

Will I pay more buying with an agent vs. directly?

No. Life insurance prices are regulated by the state — a policy costs the same whether you buy it directly from the carrier, from a fancier website, or through an independent agent.

Do I need a medical exam?

It depends on your age, your health, and the carrier. Applicants under 40 can often qualify for $1M+ without an exam. If a carrier shows an exam requirement, the exam is paid for by the insurance carrier and done in your home by a trained medical professional.

Will I get the exact price shown?

Probably not exactly. Your final price comes from the carrier after your application goes through underwriting and you are assigned a risk class. Pick "Good" or "Average" health for the most realistic estimate.

Is acceptance guaranteed?

No — some applicants are declined for term insurance. Most common conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and controlled diabetes are accepted at a lower risk class. If you would like to discuss your situation privately, call or text for a confidential consultation.

Can I buy without talking to anyone?

Yes, depending on your age and health. Get a quote above, look for the "Instant decision" badge, and fill out an exam-free application with a carrier like Banner.

Do I need a job to get term life insurance?

Typically, yes. Non-working spouses can usually get up to around $500,000, with exact rules varying by carrier and household income. If you receive government disability benefits (SSDI/DI), term life is not available — call to talk through what is possible for you.

Are these all the available carriers? How did you pick?

It is a curated list: competitive pricing, fast applicant-friendly underwriting, easy applications, good claims service, and solid financials — only A+ rated companies from A.M. Best. (A+ (Superior) is the second-highest of A.M. Best's 13 financial strength ratings.) We work with many more carriers for unusual situations.

Are these policies convertible? Do they have living benefits?

Some do, some do not — it depends on the carrier and the policy. If you are looking for something specific, ask your agent and we will find out together.
