Your actual rates will depend upon many unique factors, so these sample prices are not meant to represent quotes from any specific McAllen life insurance company. They demonstrate that your prices will depend upon the policy type, coverage amount, and age. Prices are generally lower for younger applicants or lower coverage amounts.
Some insurers do very detailed underwriting, and they may also consider other things when they determine how much to charge. For example, many people in McAllen travel internationally quite often, and sometimes these travel habits could raise your rates. On the other hand, people who stay close to home and make healthy lifestyle choices may get lower rates.
Since every insurer is different, it is best to shop around for a variety of rate quotes, and find the policy that suits your lifestyle best.
Popular Types of McAllen Life Insurance Policies
- Term life insurance: Temporary insurance policies do not provide cash value, and they expire after the contract ends. On the other hand, term life is usually the most affordable type of life insurance.
- Whole life insurance: Permanent policies, like whole life, can grow a cash value and can provide lifetime coverage.
- Universal life insurance: This type of permanent coverage is different than whole life, because some policy features are adjustable, and you have more control over the investment component, as well as beneficiary changes. Like whole life, it offers lifetime coverage and accrues a cash value.
Which kind of insurance should you buy? Term is popular because it is inexpensive, and provides coverage during the time of life when your family most needs the income you provide. Permanent policies can offer a lifetime of coverage and possible asset growth. Your best choice depends upon your goals, budget, and preferences.

If you are employed by one of McAllen’s large employers, like U.S. Customs or the local school district, you probably are entitled to join a group insurance plan at work. If not, you may have to purchase individual life insurance for yourself and other family members.
Some people find that group coverage is not adequate, does not offer enough choices, and cannot be transported from job to job. These people may choose to purchase additional individual McAllen life insurance from a local agent.
