How it's used
Used primarily in the context of financial services and personal assets like cars or medical coverage. It implies an active process of extending an existing contract rather than just letting it lapse. It is common to hear this in professional settings when dealing with insurance brokers or bank staff.
Examples
Your car insurance is expiring soon, remember to find an agent to renew it.
When renewing your insurance, pay attention to whether the price has increased so you don't lose out.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 續期, which is a broader term for renewing any kind of period or term, whereas 續保 is specifically reserved for insurance policies.
