So.. if early renewal 3 months in advance came with an extra three months added on... then next year when it's the usual early renewal last chance.. would be three months early..
How much additional coverage should you get if you answer the "First Renewal Notice"? What is the cheapest way for them to process your payment... perhaps an online email would be the best, followed by a pay in advance secure site with a discount for doing it before the mail starts to arrive.
Two or three months extra for first contact.. take off a month for second contact.. then the mailing start.
That would sure work for me.
