How to cancel Elephant insurance

  • Your name as it appears on your Elephant policy
  • Your insurance policy number, which you can find on your policy ID card and policy documents
  • The effective date for your cancelation
Elephant may also request additional identifying information, such as your driver’s license number, social security number, or vehicle identification number (VIN).
Once you’ve gathered this information, call the Elephant Insurance Company customer service phone number: 1-877-321-2095.

Does Elephant charge a cancellation fee?

No. Elephant does not charge a fee for early or mid-term cancellation.

Can you get a refund if you paid in full?

Yes. You can get a reimbursement for any prepaid unused premiums. Note that car insurance companies typically retain a small portion of your unused premium as an administrative fee for processing the refund, but you should get most of it back.

You can cancel your Elephant insurance policy at any time

Like most auto insurance policies, Elephant car insurance can be canceled at any time.
Canceling your Elephant policy is a good idea if:
icon
You’ve found a lower car insurance rate with a different auto insurance provider
icon
You plan to
bundle your auto coverage
with homeowners or renters with another provider.
icon
You’re
selling your vehicle
and don’t intend to replace it with a new one.
If high rates are what’s leading you to cancel your Elephant policy, make sure you get a new policy set up with a different insurance carrier first. Be sure your new policy start date is on or before your old policy’s cancellation date to avoid a lapse in coverage—letting your insurance lapse can lead to higher premiums in the future and is also illegal if you still own a registered vehicle.

Using the
Jerry
app lets you
compare car insurance quotes
from top providers to make sure you get a policy that’s both effective and affordable. You can also set up your new policy and choose your coverage start date right in the app.
You can also use the Jerry app to adjust
full coverage
deductibles on collision coverage and comprehensive coverage, or to cancel add-on insurance products you no longer want or need—all of which can help you keep your car insurance coverage affordable.

Keep your insurance active when you sell your car

If you’re selling your car, but you plan to get a new one in the future, dropping coverage altogether is a bad idea. Instead, switch your coverage to a
non-owner policy
to maintain continuous
liability coverage
and avoid the insurance rate hikes that accompany a coverage lapse.
