Are car insurance companies required to give a cancellation notice before canceling your policy?

Answer 1

No I never got one only found out i was cancelled after an accident

Answer 2

Yes
30 days but most insurance companies do not cancel you they just refuse to renew you

Answer 3

No. If you have committed fraud to obtain the insurance they can drop you with immediate effect. That can be as simple as they found something you told them to get the insurance was untrue.

Answer 4

in most places, yes.

Answer 5

Not if you have broken the conditions of the contract. For example if you just lost your licence due to a drink driving charge why should they be compelled to cover you once they are notified?

Answer 6

1. It's generally a state's rights issue as to what rules apply to insurance companies regarding many things including cancellation.

2. Check the master policy document that they gave you when you first got the insurance. See what they say about cancellations. Laws vary from state to state but in ALL states, they must honor their own contract. So if the policy and its amendments contain language about notice, they must give you what that policy says. Just remember that every state can be different.

Answer 7

If the insurance company does the cancelling, then yes. In my state the letter cancelling is sent by Certificate of Mailing; some states require Certified Mail.

If the policy goes out of force at renewal because the policyholder does not pay, then no. It is the insured's decision not that of the company. The company may send a reminder billing and may include the date the policy goes out of force, but that is not legally required.

Answer 8

Yes. Insurance companies are required to send you a cancellation notice.

Answer 9

Don't kid yourself. You do not have insurance & your DMV knows it, too.

Answer 10

That depends on a) where you live and b) why your policy has been cancelled.
