Questions
Will I get a refund?
If you cancel mid-term you are usually owed unearned premium, calculated pro rata or on a short-rate basis that keeps a penalty. The letter requests a pro-rata refund; the carrier will apply its policy terms.
Should I cancel before the new policy starts?
No. Set the cancellation date on or after the effective date of the replacement policy so there is no gap. A lapse in auto or homeowners coverage can raise your future premiums.
Does my lender or lienholder need to know?
Yes, if the policy is on a financed vehicle or mortgaged property. Give them the new policy information at the same time or they may force-place coverage.
Can I cancel by phone?
Many carriers accept phone cancellation but a written request with the date fixes the record. Keep a copy and the carrier's written confirmation.
