It varies state to state, but usually you have a 30 day grace period; meaning you can pay one month behind at a time. After being 60 days late (2 months), they cancel your policy. In states where car insurance is obligatory, you have to pay a lapse in insurance fine, which varies state to state. In extreme cases, they will come and remove the license plate from your car.

Does a short sale happen when I stop making mortgage payments?

No. A foreclosure is what happens when you stop making mortgage payments. A short sale must be discussed and negotiated with the lender. In that case the lender agrees to accept the proceeds of a sale of the property even if they fall short of what is owed on the mortgage. They agree to forgive any remaining balance on the loan. It is a way to avoid a foreclosure. Not all lenders will agree to a short sale.

What happens to the payments you have already made if you need cancel your policy?

Your policy contract will state what happens to your payments if you cancel. In the worst case you may not be able to cancel in the best case you will have to pay pro- rata for the length of time you policy has run + a cancellation fee + an administration fee. Please understand in many cases the payments are to a finance company (who payed the upfront insurance premium to the insurer) and in this case the payments are NOT linked to the policy - you can't just stop paying - in effect you took out a loan.


What if you stop making payments and leave the state?
