How do I end my car insurance policy?

My boyfriend said he would add me to his insurance since we're living together. My policy isn't up for renewal until next month. How do I end my policy?

“While ending
car insurance
policy before renewal my seem confusing, it’s actually quite easy! You have the ability to cancel a car insurance policy at any time.
Before you cancel, contact your insurance company. Some insurance companies charge cancellation fees if you cancel mid-term. By informing your insurance that you’d like to cancel, an agent can give you an idea of any fees they may charge.
If they don’t charge any fees and you’re ready to cancel, be sure you’re on your boyfriend’s policy first. If something happens when attempting to add you to his policy or there’s a delay, you don’t want to end up with a
lapse of insurance
.
Should your boyfriend’s rate increase significantly when he adds you, consider shopping around. You may be able to find a lower rate by looking at
multi-car insurance quotes
with other companies.
