If I cancel my renters insurance policy early, am I entitled to a refund?

Do you get a refund if you cancel renters insurance? Once I get married, I'm going to give up my apartment and cancel my renters insurance. Will I get a refund for unused coverage?

To answer your question, yes. If you have paid for your renters insurance but cancel before the term is up, the insurance company will typically
refund
you any unused premium.
There are some companies that have cancellation fees. But even if you are subject to a penalty for canceling, in the long run, it may still be better to cancel. Speak with your insurance agent for details specific to your plan.
