What is an optionally renewable policy?

An optionally renewable policy is an insurance contract that gives the policyholder the right to renew the coverage at the end of the policy term, but does not obligate them to do so. The insurer typically has the option to adjust premiums or terms upon renewal. This type of policy provides flexibility for the insured, allowing them to assess their needs and the market conditions before deciding to continue coverage. It's commonly found in health and life insurance products.
