Yes. In Washington you can usually switch car or home insurance any time, not just at renewal.<\/strong> The key is order: start the new policy first, confirm it’s active, then cancel the old one effective the same day so you never have a gap. Your old company will tell you how any refund is figured. See how we shop car insurance in Wenatchee<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I switch without a coverage gap?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Compare quotes and pick the new policy.<\/li>
  2. Choose a start date and get proof of the new policy (ID cards or declarations page).<\/li>
  3. If you have a mortgage, send the new home policy to your lender, or let us do it, so the escrow account pays the right company.<\/li>
  4. Contact your old company and ask to cancel effective the new policy’s start date. Get the cancellation in writing.<\/li>
  5. Watch for the refund or final bill.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Will I get a refund?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Often, if you paid ahead. Each company’s policy terms say how refunds are figured, and some charge a cancellation fee. Ask your current company before you cancel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
