How Much Does D&O Insurance Cost?

D&O has no standard price; your premium depends on the insurer's view of your company and governance, the limit and retention you pick, and how broad the terms are.

There's no standard price for D&O. Each insurer prices it from its underwriting review of your company and governance, plus the limit, retention and coverage terms you ask for.

To compare quotes fairly, request the same limit and retention from each insurer, and ask which company details drove the price. Disclose current disputes up front; they can change whether you qualify and what you pay.

A lower quote may buy narrower cover: a weaker entity (Side C) grant, tighter prior-acts terms, or a limit shared with employment practices coverage. Get the full forms and endorsements, and line up the insured entities, retroactive date, defense-cost treatment, exclusions and retention before you choose on price.
