Lifequotes.com: Life Insurance Rates Fall to All-Time Lows; Great Deals Abound For Life Insurance Shoppers

by

DARIEN, Illinois (February 17, 2016) – Lifequotes.com, the online, paperless life insurance exchange, announced today the results of a new survey of 50 leading life insurance companies that confirms life insurance rates are now at all-time lows.

“Continuing a 15 year trend, life insurance rates are now at all-time lows,” said Rob Goss, executive vice president.  “In addition to low prices, we’ve even seen a loosening of some underwriting guidelines in recent years.  By providing instant quotes from up to 50 leading companies, and allowing customers to buy online in total privacy, Lifequotes.com is dedicated to simplifying and speeding up the process of buying life insurance.”

For example, some of the lowest premiums include:

  • A 30 year-old female who stands up to 5’8″ in height and weighs as much as 190 lbs. can now buy a $250,000, 10-year term life policy for only $102 per year.
  • A 40 year-old female with a cancer death in her immediate family history can buy $250,000 of 30-year level term insurance for just $299 per year.
  • A 50 year-old male can buy a $500,000, 20-year term life policy for $924 per year, even if he smokes a cigar during his weekly golf outing.
  • A 55 year-old male whose blood pressure is controlled by medication can now buy $1 million of 20-year term life insurance for only $2,743 per year.
  • A following annual sample annual premiums were obtained from a survey completed by Lifequotes.com of 50 leading life insurance companies as of February 2016.

“Because life premiums are at or near historic lows, buyers can now lock-in great rates for their choice of ten to thirty years. And we also offer lifetime policies that feature level death benefits and level premiums for life,” Goss continued.

Economic uncertainties have made the need for basic life insurance more important than ever because personal life insurance proceeds are generally not taxed as income to the beneficiary.

When it comes to life insurance, many U.S. adults are uninsured or underinsured. According to the Life Insurance Market Research Association (LIMRA), a whopping 30 percent of U.S. households (35 million) do not have any life insurance and only 44 percent of U.S. households own an individual life insurance policy. Individual life insurance sales are currently at a 50-year low.

Lifequotes.com advises that it is important to obtain the advice of a competent, licensed insurance agent and have a full understanding of what the conversion and/or renewability privileges are for the policy you are considering.

According to the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (www.lifehappens.org), the cost of basic term life insurance has fallen by about 50 percent over the past decade.
