You probably know this, but you need car insurance<\/a> to drive a car in Canada. However, there are situations where cancelling your car insurance<\/strong> is a good decision. If you get a better offer from another insurer, you could cancel your current car insurance and change insurers. Other situations are also valid, such as selling your car or moving to another province. This article explains how and when to cancel your car insurance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First of all, you should know that you can cancel your car insurance<\/strong> at any time, for any reason. However, make sure you understand your insurer’s cancellation policy. Take note of the following points when reading the conditions and special clauses of your insurance contract.<\/p>\n
