To cancel your Progressive insurance policy, follow these steps:
- Gather Your Information
Have your policy number, desired cancellation date, and reason for cancellation ready before contacting Progressive
-
Contact Progressive to Cancel
You cannot cancel your policy directly online, but you can do so by:- Calling Progressive customer service at 1-866-416-2003
- Sending an email to Progressive’s customer service
- Mailing a signed cancellation letter at least one week before your desired cancellation date
- Using the online chat feature on Progressive’s website to request cancellation
- Confirm Cancellation and Check for Refunds or Fees
After notifying Progressive, you will receive a confirmation of cancellation by mail or email. Verify the cancellation date and check if you are owed any refund for unused premiums or if any cancellation fees apply. Progressive may charge a cancellation fee (often around $50) depending on your policy and state regulations
- Ensure Continuous Coverage
Since most states require auto liability coverage, make sure you have a new insurance policy in place before canceling your Progressive policy to avoid any lapse in coverage
- Additional Steps
- Cancel any automatic payments set up with Progressive
- Notify your DMV if required by your state when your insurance is canceled
In summary, canceling Progressive insurance requires contacting them by phone, email, mail, or chat rather than fully online, confirming the cancellation, and coordinating with your new insurer to maintain continuous coverage
