Paying in full vs. monthly
Installment fees, pay-in-full discounts and how to compare.
Many insurers charge installment fees for monthly payments, offer a discount for paying the whole term up front, or both.
How to compare
- Ask for the total cost of the term paid monthly, including fees.
- Ask for the pay-in-full price.
- The difference is what monthly payment convenience costs you.
