Questions from Louisville
Can whole life dividends be used to buy more insurance?
On many participating policies, dividends can be directed into paid-up additional insurance, which may increase death benefit and cash value. Dividends are not guaranteed and depend on the carrier’s experience.
Is it worth getting a quote if I live in Louisville?
Life insurance prices depend on your age, health and the coverage you choose, not your city, so a Louisville resident generally pays the same rate as anyone else in Kentucky with the same profile. You can compare prices online in a few minutes on our quote page.

No. Olive works with Louisville and Jefferson County households by phone or video, so you can compare options from home. Most applications and signatures can be completed online.
