Rates that reflect how you actually drive
Standard carriers apply automatic age tiers at renewal — no accident, no claims, no explanation. Here's what the fine print actually says.
Baseline — most carriers still competitive
First "senior surcharge" quietly added
Renewal letter arrives. No explanation.
Annual review triggers automatic re-tier
Same car. Same driver. Forty percent jump.
Standard carriers often decline to renew
Shield works differently
We price on how much you actually drive — not how old you are. A 78-year-old who drives 35 miles a week is statistically safer than a 45-year-old commuter. Our rates reflect that.

"After Harold passed, I had no idea what our insurance actually covered. The Shield advisor walked me through every line. My new rate is sixty-two dollars less than what State Farm was charging."

"I drive to the hardware store twice a week, maybe the pharmacy. That's it. Why should I pay the same as someone driving forty miles a day? Shield finally makes that argument for me."

"My daughter set this up for me. She printed the comparison PDF and we went through it together at the kitchen table. Everything was clear — no fine print surprises at renewal."
