Insurance policies—home, auto, motorcycle, etc..— can cancel for many reasons. The most likely cause is for non-payment. So can you reinstate a cancelled policy? To put simply: yes, but it depends on your carrier and the specifics of your policy situation.
For starters, personal insurance policies will cancel on the specified cancellation date at 12:01 AM of that day. For example, if your personal policy is set to cancel on Oct. 1st for non-payment then your policy officially cancels at 12:01 AM on Oct. 1st.
Depending on your insurance carrier you may be able to reinstate your policy. Typically you’ll be required to sign a statement of no loss, which if applicable, states that you have had no losses since your policy has cancelled and the requested time of reinstatement.
There are many other factors that can affect your ability to reinstate a cancelled policy. Some insurance carriers may charge a reinstatement fee. Depending on the length of time between your cancellation and requested reinstatement, the amount to reinstate could be higher than your previous bill.
If your policy has cancelled for non-payment or is about to cancel the best advice is to contact your independent agent or insurance carrier. At Dove Insurance, we can walk you through your options.
