I do understand why you want to cancel your current car insurance policy after an increase on your premium rates because of your DWI charge in Islip, New York. It is very common to have a rate increase after a drunk driving charge or any alcohol-related traffic offense. But if you switch car insurance companies and you don’t formally cancel your previous policy, you are going to have to prove to your former car insurance company that you already have a new coverage. Normally all you have to do is to send a copy of either the front page of your new premium statement or your current insurance identification card.
You just have to make sure that the document you are sending them has your name and your current policy number on it, and sent it along with the cancellation form. Of course, if you have moved to a state in which car insurance is not required, you don’t have to prove you have a new coverage. But if you are still looking for another car insurance company which will give you a new coverage, you can get an online rate quote anytime from this website.
