Being canceled or non-renewed can feel overwhelming — but it does not automatically mean you cannot secure coverage again.
Had their policy canceled mid-term
Policies may be canceled for non-payment, underwriting changes, or eligibility reasons.
Were non-renewed at the end of their policy
Some carriers choose not to continue coverage at renewal depending on risk factors.
Experienced a major violation or accident
Serious claims or violations can influence renewal decisions.
Need new coverage quickly to avoid a lapse
Starting a new policy promptly can help maintain continuous insurance.
About Auto Insurance
What’s the difference between cancellation and non-renewal?
Both situations require securing a new policy to maintain continuous coverage.
Cancellation
Occurs when a policy is terminated before the end of its term. This can happen due to non-payment, underwriting issues, or other policy-related reasons.
Non-renewal
Occurs when an insurance company decides not to continue coverage after the policy term ends.

Coverage Details
Why acting quickly matters
Starting a new policy promptly helps prevent additional complications. If your previous policy ends and you do not secure new coverage:
You may experience a lapse in coverage
Even a short gap between policies can be recorded as a lapse, which may affect future eligibility and pricing.
Rates may increase
Drivers with a recent lapse in coverage may see higher premiums compared to those with continuous insurance history.
Your license or registration could be affected (depending on state rules)
In some situations, states may require proof of active insurance to maintain valid registration or driving privileges.
You may have fewer insurance options over time
The longer a lapse continues, the more limited your available coverage options may become.
Support
Got questions?
We have answers for you on all things insurance.
Can I get insurance after being canceled?
Insurance options may still be available depending on the reason for cancellation, your driving history, and eligibility guidelines.
Will my rates be higher after non-renewal?
Rates depend on many factors, including prior claims, violations, location, vehicle, and coverage limits. A quote provides the most accurate information.
What if my cancellation was for non-payment?
Non-payment cancellations are common. Securing a new policy quickly can help prevent further complications.
Does cancellation mean I’m considered “high risk”?
Each insurer evaluates risk differently. Cancellation by one company does not automatically define eligibility with another.
How quickly can I start a new policy?
Coverage activation may be available the same day depending on eligibility and underwriting approval.
