Many people wonder "  what happens if I cancel insurance in the middle of the year"  .  Especially in the cases of motorcycle insurance or car insurance.  The main question is usually if the companies are going to return the amount of the proportional part that remains to be "spent" until the end of the contracted term. A few days ago we told you  what to do to change your insurance company . And there we explained the legal obligation to  notify the company of the change two months in advance.  And the company's obligation to notify the user of the next expiration and renewal of the insurance, also with those two months.
