Your Policy Doesn’t Get Canceled Automatically: Understanding Grace Periods

Please note that we (and other companies) typically don’t cancel your coverage if you’re a day or two late. Grace periods, which may last weeks or even a month, keep you insured even after missing a payment. Obviously, they don’t last forever, but they provide a little extra help when needed.

So, while missing your payment by a few days can be alarming, you’re probably safe (depending on your provider). Send in your premium right away, and you’re likely fine. But what if your policy gets canceled or lapses? You’re in a challenging situation, but we can help you out here.

Consequences of Not Reinstating Your Policy

If you let your insurance lapse, you’re likely to experience:

  • License suspension and fines if you’re caught driving without insurance
  • Potential financial and legal issues if you get into an accident
  • Significant rate increases (due to being labeled a "high-risk" driver)
  • Repossession of your car (lenders usually require specific protection levels)

Please don’t let these problems happen to you! Reach out to us, and we’ll protect your vehicle again. Often, this requires getting a high-risk policy, which can be frustrating but unavoidable after lapsed coverage.
