How to Switch Your Car Insurance to MAPFRE

Although having a valid car insurance policy is required by law, there are no rules to say that you must stay with the same insurance provider forever. If you are looking to switch over to MAPFRE Insurance, the process is simple! And while you make that switch, It’s vital to organize the transition properly so your vehicle remains covered throughout the process.

How to Switch Your Insurance to MAPFRE

At MAPFRE, we offer car insurance tailored to your needs. Once you have decided to switch your car insurance policy over to MAPFRE, the first thing you should do is look at the cancellation requirements of your existing policy.

Some insurers require you to pay administration or cancellation fees when you cancel your policy before the end of its full term. You also need to understand the way in which your current insurer calculates refunds since some companies ask you to make payment for the month that has already started while others refund customers on a day-to-day basis.

Before you cancel your existing policy you will also need to speak with a licensed agent who represents MAPFRE to ensure that we will be able to offer you the level of coverage that you are looking for. Every insurer has rules, which need to be followed regarding the level of risk taken when covering a driver. This means that certain people may be unable to take out coverage with specific insurers. Your Independent Agent will be able to explain this to you and let you know If we are able to cover you. If so, you can go ahead and arrange for your MAPFRE insurance to start straight away and then contact your existing company to cancel your policy as of the date your coverage with MAPFRE begins. This will ensure you remain covered at all times while finalizing the switch.
