How long does it take to switch car insurance?
I want to switch my car insurance policy; I don’t think I’m getting the best deal right now, but I really don’t want to spend all day doing it. How long does switching your car insurance provider usually take?

Great question! The times it takes to
switch car insurance companies
depends on how you cancel and how you sign up with a new provider. Typically, though, it takes 15-30 minutes to cancel your policy
, while signing up with a new provider can take as little as 15-60 minutes.Using the
