How Insurance Payments Work
As an independent insurance brokerage, TOP Insurance helps you find and manage the best coverage from multiple carriers. However, premium payments are made directly to your insurance carrier, not to our office.
Your insurance carrier handles all billing, payment processing, and account management. You can find your carrier's payment information on your declarations page, billing statement, or insurance card.
Not sure who your carrier is or how to pay? Contact us and we will help you identify your carrier and guide you through the payment process.
Common Payment Methods
Most insurance carriers accept payments through the following methods. Check with your specific carrier for available options.

Payment Tips
Pay on Time
Late payments can result in policy cancellation or a lapse in coverage. Set calendar reminders or enroll in auto-pay to stay current.
Pay in Full for Savings
Many carriers offer a discount when you pay your full premium upfront rather than in monthly installments. Ask us about pay-in-full discounts.
Keep Records
Save confirmation numbers and receipts for all payments. This documentation can be helpful if there are ever questions about your payment history.
Go Paperless
Sign up for electronic billing statements and email notifications. You will receive payment reminders and can access your billing history online.
Review Your Statements
Check each billing statement for accuracy. If your premium changed unexpectedly, contact us so we can review your policy and explain any adjustments.
Avoid Coverage Lapses
If your policy cancels due to non-payment, you may face higher rates when you reinstate or get new coverage. Contact us immediately if you are having trouble making a payment.
