How can I find out if my car is still insured?

I got a letter saying my car insurance was about to be canceled if I didn't get a photo inspection completed. I had it done, sent it in, and haven't heard a thing yet. How can I find out if my car is still insured?

Getting a cancelation notice in the mail can be nerve-wracking! But, don’t worry; there are a few ways you can find out if your car is still insured.
Since this situation relies on paperwork, I suggest calling your insurance provider directly. This way, you can make sure your policy is still active and that they received the correct paperwork. Usually, when an insurance provider asks for a photo inspection, they will cancel the
comprehensive
and collision coverage from the policy if the photos are not received, but they won’t cancel the entire policy.
If they have not received the inspection, make sure to have it redone and fax or email a copy straight to the provider. Then call them back to ensure the
collision
and comprehensive remain on your policy.
Some
car insurance
companies have very easy-to-navigate websites, so verifying your policy status and coverages online is a great option if phone calls aren’t your thing.
