Switching Auto Insurance Can Help You Save Money
If you’re like most people, when it comes time to renew your auto insurance, you simply stay with the insurer that you’ve known and trusted for years. For some, this hassle-free, set-it-and-forget-it approach works out fine. After all, some auto insurance companies even reward loyal customers with a discount on their auto insurance coverage. For many, however, this is a costly mistake. If it’s been a while since you’ve shopped around for auto insurance, you could be throwing hundreds of dollars away every year.

Knowing When to Shop Around for Auto Insurance
While it’s a good idea to research other auto insurers a month or two before your current policy expires, you should also consider looking at your options any time you’ve had a major life change. If you’ve recently moved, gotten married, had a baby or purchased a new vehicle, you may be able to save money by switching to a different company.
Note that you want to shop around and purchase an auto insurance policy before your current auto insurance policy expires. Not only is driving without auto insurance illegal and potentially financially devastating, but you may end up paying a higher premium when you do purchase an auto insurance policy.
Talk to Your Auto Insurance Company
Let your current auto insurance company know that you are shopping around for auto insurance, and if you have any competing offers, let them know. Your auto insurance provider may be able to offer you a discount that you didn’t know was available to you and bring down your current rate.
Research Potential Penalties
While most auto insurance companies allow you to cancel at any time as long as proper notice is provided, there are some companies that penalize customers who cancel their policy before the term is up. If you’re canceling in the middle of a term, make sure that you understand any penalties or fees that you may have to pay.

Conduct Careful Research
Before purchasing a policy from a different auto insurance company, make sure you conduct careful research to ensure that the company is a good fit for your needs. Factors to consider when researching an auto insurance company include the company’s customer complaint ratio, overall customer satisfaction and financial outlook.
How to Cancel Your Auto Insurance Policy Correctly
There are a number of reasons that you may decide to cancel your existing auto insurance policy, such as finding a cheaper rate with another company, being called to active military duty overseas, or having an injury or illness that will keep you from getting behind the wheel of a vehicle indefinitely. In cases like these, canceling your existing policy makes a lot of sense, but it’s important that you do it in the correct way to avoid financial penalties.

Up until 10/1/2019, Nevada residents had the option of enrolling in off-exchange health insurance plans at any time during the year. The catch? There was a 90-day waiting period after enrollment before coverage becomes effective.

Does Driving Record Affect Auto Insurance Rate?
While your auto insurance provider bases your monthly premium on numerous factors, including where you live, how old you are and whether you rent or own your home, the factor that most significantly affects your premium is your driving record.

What Is a Health Insurance Network?
Whether you’ve had the same health insurance company for years or switched to a new health insurance company, the variance in cost is directly related to whether a healthcare provider is within your health insurance company’s network (if you have a PPO), if you have a deductible to satisfy first, or if you have a co-pay.

Make Sure Your Old Policy Is Canceled
Be sure to notify your current company that you are canceling your policy. If you simply stop paying your premium, the auto insurance company may continue to bill you and may even report you to the credit bureaus for non-payment. Contact your current auto insurance provider to cancel your policy, and make sure to get written confirmation that you’ve canceled. The easiest way to transition to a new policy is with the help of an agent. They can help you coordinate the switch to ensure all loose ends are tied up and there are no lapses in coverage.
What to Expect When You Cancel Your Policy
Unless you’ve gotten free assistance from an agent, doing your research and finding a new auto insurance policy that provides great coverage at an affordable rate is a lot of work. However, purchasing and agreeing to a new auto insurance policy is only the first step in making the switch.

Avoiding Lapses in Coverage
While you obviously don’t want to pay for double coverage any longer than you have to, you really don’t want to have a lapse in your coverage. Before canceling an auto insurance policy, especially if you don’t intend to carry auto insurance at all, consider how long you will be without a vehicle. If it’s only going to be for a few weeks or months, then your best bet will be to maintain your liability auto insurance coverage. Auto insurance companies often charge higher premiums to those who have gaps in coverage, you may save money by simply trimming back your coverage to the minimum state requirement. This is very important.
Driving without auto insurance can land you in some serious hot water, both legally and financially. If there’s a chance that you’ll drive a vehicle at all, even if you don’t own one, then you should maintain your auto insurance coverage. Losing liability coverage will most likely put you in a higher risk category of driver, and your rates will be much higher.
Making the Switch with Nevada Insurance Enrollment
Comparing auto insurance companies can be challenging. Different auto insurance providers have different coverage options and discounts, making it difficult to cross-compare. At Nevada Insurance Enrollment, our auto insurance agents specialize in helping you review your options and determine whether switching to a different auto insurance provider will save you money.
Before you cancel your auto insurance, talk to one of our agents. They can help you coordinate the switch to a new auto insurance company and ensure that you aren’t held financially responsible for coverage you don’t need.
