How to not renew car insurance?
I’m thinking about switching insurance providers at the end of December, but I want to wait for my policy to run out. How can you elect to not renew your insurance policy?

The easiest way to cancel your policy at its renewal date is by contacting your local insurance agent. Some insurers may require a formally signed cancellation notice, however, some may facilitate your policy’s cancellation directly over the phone.
Ask your agent about the cancellation process and be sure to download or save any documents regarding the cancellation of your policy.
You can also mail or fax a cancellation letter to your local insurance agent or the company itself. Be sure to include the following in your letter or fax:
- The date
- Your name
- Policy number
- Requested cancellation date
Before you cancel your policy, it’s important to have another policy lined up. Drivers are legally required to carry minimum liability insurance in most states, so it’s important that you have coverage before you get back on the road.
The best way to look for a new policy is by shopping with
