How do I change my car insurance company?

What’s the best way to switch car insurance companies? I'm not happy with my current insurance provider. My price keeps increasing and their customer service isn't great.

“If you’d like to change
car insurance companies
, you’ll first want to shop around.
Rates change often, so it’s wise to request
car insurance quotes
from multiple companies. Every insurance company prices its policies a little differently, so comparison shopping is a great way to find the best deals.
If you’d rather leave the hard work of gathering quotes to someone else, use
Jerry
. The Jerry app can collect quotes from up to 50 top insurance companies in seconds! And Jerry will even help cancel your old policy once you’ve made your pick.
Since you’re unhappy with your current company’s customer service, look up reviews of other insurance providers prior to making the leap. You should be able to find companies that have high customer satisfaction. Use your research to determine which companies you’d like to request quotes from.
Once you find a company you like, you will need to reach out to your current insurance provider. Inform them of your intention to switch and find out whether they charge any fees for canceling.
From there, you can purchase your new policy and cancel your old one. Be sure to wait to cancel your current policy until your new policy goes into effect to avoid any lapses in insurance coverage, which can be
risky and expensive
