Insurance companies in Texas need to protect their business from uncertainties by including clauses in policies that deal with cancellations. Most car insurance companies will impose a charge if you cancel before the maturity date. The amount will vary depending on the insurer. If you have no urgent reason, do not change car insurance companies because that could cause you to unnecessarily incur fees.

If changing policies can wait, then wait and don’t be hasty since the new offer may not turn out as well as you expected. In the event that you are canceling your insurance because you are dissatisfied with the company’s services, make sure to tell them of your intention through a written notice. The company will likely renew your insurance if you don’t make it clear to them that you don’t need their services anymore. Also, car insurance companies can report you to the Department of Motor Vehicles if your insurance lapses and you are in a probationary period because of a major violation like driving under the influence or driving while drunk. Coordinate with your old insurer properly to avoid having to explain to the DMV, suffer an additional period of probation, or worse, a cancellation or suspension of your license.
