How can I change my car insurance?

What’s the best way to make changes to your car insurance? My policy is about to end and before it renews, I want to try to find something cheaper.

Changing your car insurance when your policy ends is a smart move—you’ll save money on cancellation fees.
Shortly before your terms ends, here’s what you’ll want to do:
  • Compare policies and prices by shopping around and gathering quotes from different companies. When you find a policy that’s better suited for you and your budget, ask your current provider if they’re willing to match it.
  • Buy the policy from your provider if they’re willing to match the coverage and price. If they aren’t, inform them you will not be renewing your insurance and would like to
    cancel
    when your policy expires. Then, buy insurance from the other company.
  • Schedule your new policy to begin on the same day your old one ends. That way, you won’t experience a lapse in coverage, which can be
    risky and expensive
    .
