Question:<\/strong> I\u2019m shopping around for new renters insurance since State Farm raised my premium. How can I cancel my State Farm renters insurance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to State Farm\u2019s website, there are three ways to cancel your policy when the time comes. It should be noted that one of those ways is not via the online portal or the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancel your State Farm policy by phone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Option one, likely the easiest and fastest, is to cancel by phone. For renters insurance, you\u2019ll want to contact your local State Farm agent who sold you the policy and manages the account. Let them know you want to cancel the account. Be prepared to have your policy number handy as they will likely need to confirm personal details like your name and date of birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By default, cancellations typically go into effect immediately unless you ask them to schedule it for a future date, so be sure to specify depending on what your needs are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this doesn\u2019t apply to renters insurance, for auto insurance cancellations, you can call their general customer service number at 1-800-STATE-FARM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancel your State Farm policy by mail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your second option is to cancel by mail. In order to do this, you\u2019ll need to write a letter with specific information and send it to Corporate Headquarters in Illinois. You\u2019ll want to include your name, address and phone number in the letter along with your State Farm policy number and the date you want your policy to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to sign and date the letter and mail it out within at least two weeks before your requested cancellation date because it will take time for the mail to get delivered and for State Farm to process your request. The address you will want to mail it to is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corporate Headquarters
State Farm Insurance
One State Farm Plaza
Bloomington, IL 61710<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancel your State Farm policy in person<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, you can always cancel your State Farm policies in person by seeing your local State Farm representative. It is generally best to ensure that you have the following information handy when you do: Name, address, phone number, policy number, and date you want coverage to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that you may need to ensure you have new coverage going into effect before you cancel your current State Farm policy. If you don’t have concurrent or overlapping coverage you may end up with lapse in coverage. This could possibly raise your premium or cause problems with your lease. So play it safe and get your new policy all setup and confirmed before canceling your old one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
