Press Start My Free Quote and enter your name, date of birth and how you would rate your health. Tell it what matters to you, like how long you want coverage and what you want to spend, and it suggests the policy types that fit.

Your quotes appear right away, from multiple insurance companies, side by side. Sort them by price, coverage amount or benefits. Pick the one you like, or call us and we will walk through them with you.

Fill out the application online and sign it with DocuSign on your phone or computer. No printing, no scanning and no trip to an office.

Your application goes straight to the insurance company you chose. You see your next steps right away, such as a phone interview or a health check if the company needs one, and a licensed agent from Golden Shield Life Insurance follows your case until you have a decision.

Use the calculator before you quote. Enter your mortgage balance, debts, income and number of children, and it suggests a coverage amount you can use for your quote.
The price you see online is an estimate based on the health class you choose. What happens next depends on the kind of policy you pick.
No medical exam policies use your answers, prescription history and other electronic records instead of a nurse visit. Many applicants get a decision in minutes or within a few days, and some are asked for more information.
If you are shopping for living benefits, whether for your health or to build wealth through cash value, the insurance company may ask for a medical exam. The exam is free and comes to your home or office, but approval can take a few weeks.
If you are quoting online by yourself, start with no exam options so you get a quicker decision. If living benefits matter to you, give us a call. That process takes a little longer, and we walk you through every step.Aaron Polk, Founder of Golden Shield Life Insurance

Golden Shield Life Insurance is appointed with Ethos, which offers term life with no medical exam for most applicants and a short online checkout. Every Ethos policy comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can cancel for a full refund of premiums if you change your mind.
Every life insurance policy comes with a free look period after it is delivered. If you cancel during that time, you get your premiums back. State law sets at least 10 days, and many states and insurance companies allow up to 30. We go over your exact window with you when your policy arrives.
Golden Shield Life Insurance is an independent agency, so we compare more than 130 insurance companies instead of selling just one, and we can check any company’s AM Best financial strength rating with you before you apply. Premiums are set by the insurance company, so using us does not add a fee.
Replace your income, pay off the mortgage and protect your children until they are on their own.
Life insurance for familiesFinal expense, guaranteed issue and permanent coverage, with options available into your 80s.
Life insurance for seniorsCoverage to replace or add to SGLI and VGLI, from insurers that understand military service.

Life insurance for business ownersYes. Golden Shield Life Insurance never charges for quotes, advice or help applying. Insurance companies pay brokers a commission when a policy is issued, and that commission is already built into the price, so you pay the same premium whether you buy through us or directly from the company.
Yes. Enter your details in our quote tool and estimated prices from multiple insurance companies appear in a few minutes. Some companies can also give an instant decision on your application, so qualifying applicants may be approved the same day.
Each insurance company prices age, health and tobacco use differently, so the same coverage can cost noticeably more at one company than another. Comparing several companies side by side is the most reliable way to find a fair price for your situation.
No single company is the lowest price for everyone. Banner Life, Protective, Pacific Life and others often quote well for healthy term buyers, but a different company may give a better price for your age, health or tobacco use. Comparing several companies at once shows your lowest price.
It depends on your age, health and the term you choose. In our July 2026 comparison, a healthy nonsmoker in their 30s could often get $500,000 to $1,000,000 of 20-year term for about $50 a month or less. In your 50s, the same budget buys much less coverage.
You can see prices with basic details like your name, date of birth, state, tobacco use and general health. You do not need a Social Security number, bank information or medical records to compare quotes. Those details are only needed when you apply.
Yes. You can compare quotes, apply and sign online on your own. If you would rather not get phone calls, tell us, and we will reach you by text or email instead.
Yes. Many companies offer term and final expense coverage without a medical exam, including Ethos, Pacific Life, Mutual of Omaha and Americo, and Banner Life offers larger no-exam term amounts for qualifying applicants. Some applicants may still be asked for an exam or more records.
Yes. Many term and permanent policies let you use part of the death benefit if you have a qualifying critical, chronic or terminal illness. These policies may require a free medical exam and take longer to approve, so call us to compare them.
Yes. Many insurance companies offer coverage to applicants in their 60s, 70s and 80s, including term life, whole life and final expense policies. Options and prices depend on age and health, and a broker can show you which companies accept your age.
Often, yes. Each insurance company has its own health rules, so a decline from one is not a decline from all. Options include simplified issue, graded benefit and guaranteed issue policies. Ethos offers guaranteed issue whole life for ages 66 to 85 with no health questions.
Yes. The coverage calculator above suggests how much coverage you may need based on your mortgage, debts, income and children, and the quote tool then shows prices from multiple insurance companies side by side.
Often, yes. You can compare quotes, apply and e-sign online. If the insurance company approves you instantly and you pay the first premium, coverage can start the same day. Larger policies or health history may need more review first.
