Congratulations on the big move, that’s so exciting! When it comes to cancelling your renters insurance, the process can vary from company to company, but it’s usually easy. You can:
  • Cancel your policy online
  • Email your insurer to cancel
  • Cancel over the phone
  • In some cases, submit a signed letter requesting cancellation
Read the terms of your renters insurance policy to determine how to cancel your plan. You can also call your insurance company or go to their website to find out what you need to do.
