Question
Why did The General cancel my car insurance?
I bought a policy with them and just over a month later they cancelled my policy. They said something about 60 days, but I didn't understand. How can they cancel my policy when they took me on as a customer in the first place?
Answer
In many states, auto insurance companies like The General have up to 60 days from the start of a policy to cancel without providing any reason for doing so. In most cases, this has to do with potential fraud or some sort of inaccuracy on your application.
It is extremely important to be open and honest about your personal information including your driving history when getting auto insurance quotes so you can avoid a cancellation, which can hurt your chances of finding a new company down the road.
