You can usually cancel your policy at any time and for any reason, by calling your insurance company or agent. You can refer to your original policy document which should have the contact info you need. You can also find this information on your initial email from your insurance company, ID cards or declaration page.

If you don't have or can't find your policy documents, call our service line and we can help you out. If we service the policy, we can make changes for you or cancel the policy. However, if we don't service the policy, we can direct you to the right contact info for your insurance company.

Keep in mind, you shouldn't cancel your policy until you have new coverage lined up. Lapses in coverage may make your insurance more expensive in the future, and open you up to liability during the lapse. When you switch to a new company, double-check that the cancellation date is the same day your coverage starts with your new insurer.
