Reinstating Your Cancelled Auto Insurance: Progressive's Steps And Tips

If your auto insurance policy has been cancelled, you may be able to reinstate it by contacting your insurance provider, depending on their rules and your state's laws. You can reinstate your policy by calling your insurance company or contacting them through their website or mobile app. If you pay the premiums you owe within the grace period, your policy will be reinstated without a lapse in coverage. However, if you do not pay within the grace period, your policy will be cancelled and your insurance company may decide not to reinstate it. In this case, you will need to initiate a new policy with your current or a new insurer.

Contact your insurance company

If your auto insurance policy has been cancelled, you may be able to reinstate it by contacting your insurance provider. However, this depends on their rules and your state's laws, as well as whether your coverage has lapsed.

Contacting Your Insurance Company

If your coverage hasn't lapsed, you can usually reinstate your policy by phone or online. You may need to fill out a form or sign a "statement of no loss", declaring that you haven't had any losses during the grace period and won't file a claim. You may also have to pay a reinstatement fee.

If your coverage has lapsed, your insurance company may not reinstate your policy. Many companies won't reinstate a policy if more than 30 days have passed since cancellation. In this case, you'll have to apply for a new policy, which will likely result in higher insurance rates.

If your insurer agrees to reinstate your policy, you'll likely have to pay the premiums you owe upfront, as well as a fine. Your rates may also increase, and your policy period will change to the new reinstatement start date.

When contacting your insurance company, make sure you're calling the correct phone number, as many companies have different lines for different purposes. Have the following information ready:

• Your policy duration period
• Your notice of policy cancellation
• The missed payment bills
• The names of all drivers in your household

You can also contact your insurance company through their website or mobile app, if available.

Reinstating a lapsed policy

If your auto insurance policy has lapsed, you should act quickly to reinstate it. Even a one-day lapse can result in higher car insurance rates. Progressive, like all insurers, is required by state law to notify you before cancelling your policy. Check your mail and email for a notice that will let you know the specific date on which your policy will be cancelled. If the date has not passed, you can call Progressive and speak with a representative to pay your outstanding balance and avoid having your policy cancelled. You may have to pay a late fee, but your overall premiums are unlikely to be affected, especially if this is the first time you've missed a payment.

If the date has passed, call the same number to speak with a representative about paying your outstanding balance and getting your policy reinstated. If your policy was cancelled due to nonpayment, most insurance companies will offer you a grace period to get your payments back on track.

Your insurance company might decide not to reinstate your policy, and if they do, they may raise your rates. Your insurance company may not reinstate your policy if you've let the policy lapse.

This means your insurance history will show a lapse in coverage, which can mean higher insurance rates in the future.

Your insurance company can reinstate your policy past the grace period—it all depends on company policy. If your insurer agrees to reinstate your policy, you will likely first have to pay the premiums you owe upfront and pay a fine before they reactivate your policy.

Your policy period will also change to the new reinstatement start date, and all of this will show on your insurance record.

Grace periods

If you miss a payment, your car insurance policy won't be cancelled immediately. Auto insurance companies are required by state law to provide notice before cancelling your policy. Depending on the state, you'll usually have between 10 and 20 days. Your company will notify you by mail or email before cancelling your coverage.

Your car insurance policy will not change, you will have the same coverage limits and the same policy period.

You might need to fill out a form or sign a statement of no loss. This is a form that states you did not have a loss during the grace period and will not file a claim. You may also have to pay a reinstatement fee to restore your auto insurance policy.

Cancelling for non-payment

If you miss a payment, your auto insurance company will notify you by mail, phone, or email, and offer you a grace period to make your payments.
