How do I know my car insurance status?

I got a renewal notice from my car insurance company, but the automatic payment didn't come out of my account. I'm not sure what this means, but I want to make sure I'm covered! How can I find my car insurance status?

“That’s definitely unnerving! I’m glad to say, though, that finding out the status of your
car insurance
policy is as simple as placing a call to your insurance company.
When you make the call, have your insurance card handy so you can give them your policy number. Once they have the information, they should be able to tell you what’s going on with your policy.
The payment failing to come out of your account could be an error on the part of your bank or the car insurer. If the insurer has no knowledge of it, call your bank to resolve the issue.
If your insurer canceled your insurance for any reason, you need to shop for a new policy to drive legally. To get the best rate on the coverage you need, try using the
