Farmers cancellation policy
The process to cancel Farmers auto insurance is pretty straightforward. When you call the Farmers customer service phone number at 1 (888) 327-3335, you can speak with a representative to request your policy cancellation. You can also contact your Farmers insurance agent to inform them of your decision.[1]
Either way, the representative will likely try to convince you to stay with Farmers. Simply repeat your request, and they’ll cancel your coverage. Make sure to have your Farmers policy number on hand to expedite the process.
The Farmers website isn’t clear about possible cancellation penalties, so it’s not clear if the company charges a cancellation fee in some circumstances. Ask the Farmers agent before you commit to your cancellation request to find out for sure. That way, you can ask questions about the cancellation fee and if you qualify for a refund of unused premiums.
Step 1: Look up the renewal date
Your first step to canceling your Farmers car insurance policy is to determine your renewal date — that’s the date your current policy ends. Pull out your most recent policy documents and look at the cover page. It will list the coverage dates, and the end date is your renewal date.
Insurers typically don’t charge a penalty if you cancel before the renewal date. Also, ask if you’ll receive a refund for the unused premiums if you cancel coverage before the end of your policy term.
Step 2: Compare car insurance quotes
When shopping for car insurance, it can be helpful to understand what factors affect the cost of your coverage. Common things insurance companies consider when setting auto insurance rates include age, driving history, type of vehicle, financial stability, and ZIP code. Drivers should compare costs from multiple companies to find the best rate for the coverage they need.
If you’re switching companies to save money, you should pay close attention to potential discounts you may qualify for with your new company. In addition, you may consider bundling multiple auto policies, home, or life insurance to save money.
How Farmers quotes stack up vs. competitors
Drivers who have policies from Farmers should consider quotes for coverage from other companies. Farmers Insurance typically costs more on average than coverage from other top insurers, like Allstate, Progressive, and State Farm.
In some cases, drivers with Farmers can save more than $100 monthly by switching to a competitor. You should consider whether the quality discounts and roadside assistance programs that Farmers offers are worth the extra cost of insurance.

Step 3: Secure a new car insurance policy
Before you cancel your policy with Farmers Insurance, you should shop around to compare rates from different car insurance companies and secure a new auto policy. Don’t forget to consider bundling coverage with umbrella policies or combining a homeowners policy and auto policy to save money.
Your new insurer may even help contact Farmers to cancel the old coverage for you. It’s essential to have a new policy in place to avoid gaps in coverage because a lapse could result in penalties for failing to meet your state’s minimum coverage requirements. It could also lead to financial loss if you have an accident before your new policy kicks in.
You can compare multiple quotes online at once, contact insurance agents, or source quotes from company websites to secure a new policy. When you apply for new insurance coverage, you’ll need to share the following personal information:
Desired policy effective date
Date of birth
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Payment info, such as your credit card number
Your new insurance company will also likely run a credit check to help determine your new rates.
Finally, you’re ready to cancel your Farmers car insurance policy. It helps to have your policy number handy before you call. You can cancel a Farmers Auto Insurance policy by speaking to your local agent, calling 1 (888) 327-6335, texting 1 (855) 922-3025, or visiting a Farmers office in your area.
You may also be able to submit a cancellation letter for your insurance products. Check with your local agent for contact information. Whichever method you use, ask about whether you’ll receive a refund for unused premiums if you cancel before your policy’s renewal date.

Step 5: Follow up on your refund
If applicable, you should receive your refund of unused premiums within a few weeks. Typically, insurance companies mail you a check for the total amount owed, but some may credit your bank account or credit card.
Call Farmers at 1 (888) 327-6335 and ask for an update if it’s been two or three weeks and your refund hasn’t yet arrived.
