If you are looking to cancel your Progressive Insurance policy, here are a few steps to help!
Time it Right
You can cancel your Progressive policy any time you want, but there are two particularly good times to switch companies.
- Before Renewal: Try to start comparing rates of other companies 3-4 weeks before your insurance renewal date (you can find this information on your Declarations page or your ID cards). You will generally receive a renewal notice 15-30 days before it is set to renew, use the information given in the renewal notice to compare rates with several other competitors.
- After a Major Life Event: Review your insurance after a major life event such as divorce or marriage, the birth of a new child, buying a new car and adding a newly licensed driver, or moving into a new home. Contact Progressive to see how these changes will affect your current insurance policy and then evaluate other insurance company options.
Review Your Progressive Policy
Look into your Progressive policy contract to find information regarding cancellations.
Depending on the state you reside and the policy type, there may be cancellation fees if you are trying to end your policy before the renewal date.
Choose a New Insurance Carrier
Once you have compared rates from multiple sources and have found one you like, obtain that policy.
In some states it is required that you show proof that you have obtained other insurance to cancel your current policy.
If you are having issues comparing rates yourself, we can help! Here at RIGHTSURE we work with over 30 companies and can compare the rates FOR YOU.
Arrange for your new policy to start on the day that you want your Progressive policy to end.
Ask Your New insurance Agent or New Carrier
Ask your new insurance agent or carrier if they can assist with the cancellation. Some insurance carriers will assist in the cancellation of your old policy while others won't.
Insurance agencies like RIGHTSURE almost always assist in the cancellation of your old carrier, you just simply sign a cancellation form and we will do the rest for you!
If you are doing it on your own simply call Progressive and provide verbal confirmation of cancellation or write a signed letter stating you would like to cancel your policy and the date of which you wish to cancel.
