Direct answer
Coverage shifts can make policies look cheaper by moving costs into deductibles, limits, or exclusions.
Why it changes price
- A lower premium can be the result of less coverage, not better pricing.
- Small wording changes (endorsements, definitions) can shift who pays and when.
- Comparing price without structure creates false savings.
Decision rule
If a quote is cheaper, compare deductibles, limits, and endorsements before you treat it as a win.
