How can I cancel my car insurance?

I purchased a car insurance policy I no longer need. My mom said that she could add me to her policy instead. How can I cancel my car insurance?

If you need to cancel your
car insurance
, you should call your insurance company. You may also be able to cancel online.
While you can cancel your insurance policy at any time, you may be subject to cancellation fees. If you cancel mid-term, some insurance companies will charge a flat fee or a percentage of your unpaid premium.
If you paid for your policy in full, you should also receive a refund for your remaining policy term.
Calling your insurance company is the easiest way to cancel your insurance and find out what fees you may owe. If there are fees associated with your cancellation and your policy is set to renew in a month or so, you may want to consider keeping it until then.
