What do I do if GEICO canceled my car insurance?

This is ridiculous. I just received a cancellation notice from GEICO because I missed a payment. What should I do?

Sarah Gray · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
First, don’t panic. You may still be able to avoid a lapse in your
car insurance
 coverage. Your cancellation notice will tell you the last day GEICO can receive your payment before they will officially cancel your policy. If you’re able to settle your bill before this date, your policy will remain in effect.
If the date has already passed, you should call a GEICO representative at 1 (800) 207-7847 immediately to inquire about having your policy reinstated.
While you shouldn’t panic, if you’ve received a cancellation notice, it is important that you act fast if you don’t want to learn
how a car insurance lapse impacts your rates
. Not only can a lapse in coverage result in significantly higher insurance premiums, but it can also make it harder for you to qualify for coverage at all.
Plus, you may also receive fines for failing to maintain the
minimum car insurance required in your state
.

What Others Are Asking

How many 80th Anniversary Jeeps were made?
I’ve always loved Jeep but I just found out that Jeep had its 80th anniversary last year! I also learned that I missed out on picking up a brand-new 80th Anniversary Jeep. Are they rare or should I be able to find one pretty easily?

How do you turn off HDC on a BMW?
I’ve noticed my BMW has been automatically slowing down at unnecessary times when descending hills, and it’s been a bit frustrating. I think the HDC is to blame, but I have no idea how to disable it. How can I turn off my BMW’s HDC feature?
