How can I change car insurance companies?
My car insurance will renew next month, but they informed me my rate will increase. How can I change car insurance companies before the rate increases?

It’s always a good idea to compare quotes and shop around for a new
car insurance
policy before your policy renews, your rate increases, or you need to make adjustments to your policy. To change car insurance companies, you should do the following:
- Make sure there are no penalties for switching your policy. These penalties are more common if you are canceling a policy mid-term.
- Identify the coverages you need by checking theminimum car insurance required in your stateand avoid expensive optional coverages liketowing and labor coverage.
- Compare car insurance quotes from multiple companies.
- Cancelyour old policy and confirm the cancellation with your previous insurance company to avoid a charge for a policy renewal.
