What's the difference between cancellation and non-renewal?
What's the difference between cancellation and non-renewal? There is a big difference between when an insurance company cancels a policy and when it chooses not to renew it. Insurance companies cannot cancel a policy that has been in force for more than 60 days except:
The company may have decided to drop that particular line of insurance or to write fewer policies where you live, so you shouldn't necessarily think the non-renewal is because of something you did. On the other hand, if you did do something that raised the insurance company's risk considerably, like driving drunk, the premium may rise and you may not have your policy renewed. If your insurance company did not renew your policy, you will not necessarily be charged a higher premium at another insurance company.
