Which describes a Guaranteed Renewable Policy?

• A. The insurer is required to renew to a stated age with no increase in premiums
• B. None of the above
• C. The insurer is required to renew to a stated age, but may increase premium
• D. The insurer cannot cancel during the policy term, but reserves the right to non-renew

Answer: (C)

Guaranteed renewable means the insurer must renew the policy up to a specified age, keeping coverage in force as long as premiums are paid, but the insurer can raise premiums at each renewal to reflect aging and risk. That combination—continued renewal obligation with potential premium increases—is exactly what this option describes, making it the best fit. The other ideas don’t match: a guarantee of level premiums contradicts the reality that rates can rise with renewal, and the right to non-renew at the end of term means no guaranteed renewal at all.
