Drivers can cancel their AAA insurance at any time

You can cancel your American Automobile Association (AAA) car insurance at any time, even if you’ve just recently started a new policy. If you’ve paid your premium in full, AAA will most likely refund you for any unused premiums.

To cancel your car insurance policy with AAA, you will need your full name, AAA policy number, and effective cancellation date. When you call your insurance company, you should also ask about the following:

Cancellation fees: AAA doesn’t disclose if they charge insurance cancellation fees, but some previous customers reported being charged 10% of their remaining premium.

Refund eligibility: Most auto insurance companies provide refunds for unused premiums if you’ve paid your coverage in full. The exact amount can vary, so make sure to contact a AAA representative to ask about potential refunds.

An AAA insurance policy is different from an AAA membership.
Your auto insurance policy covers costs from vehicle accidents and related liabilities. It is mandatory in almost all states, except New Hampshire.
Your AAA membership provides benefits such as roadside assistance, which is optional.

When you should cancel your AAA car insurance

Canceling your AAA car insurance might be a good idea if:

You moved states and AAA doesn’t cover you

Your want to

bundle your home insurance and auto insurance

with a different provider

Your annual mileage has decreased and you want to change policies

You recently

sold your car

and don’t plan on owning one in the future

If you’re selling your car, but still want to drive, instead of canceling your insurance policy altogether, consider asking about a

non-owners insurance policy

. Non-owners policies often extend to rental and borrowed cars, and usually cost less than a standard policy.

No matter the reason, before you cancel your auto coverage, it’s always important to have a new car insurance policy lined up with another insurance provider to avoid a

lapse in coverage

and possible higher premiums.

When looking for a new insurance policy, it's important to compare quotes from different carriers to ensure you're getting the best price.

The

Jerry

app makes insurance shopping easy – finding you quotes from multiple carriers that meet your coverage needs at once. You can usually start a new policy on the same day.
