Cancellation-as-a-service

We cancel your customers’ old auto policies.

A new customer just signed with your auto agency or carrier. Hand us their old policy over one API call — we cancel it and hand back a verified outcome. Auto today; homeowners soon.

Carrier playbooks

Every carrier cancels differently. We already know how.

A versioned playbook keyed on carrier, state, policy type, and policy-number pattern decides how each cancellation is handled — so you never have to.

Carrier registry
190+
playbooks in the library, versioned & scored

State Farm

Agent of record

Only the listed agent can cancel, so we route the request to the agent of record.

USAA

Insured calls

Requires the policyholder on the line. We prep the script and coach the call.

Root

Self-serve portal

App-only cancellation. We guide the consumer through each in-app step to the date.

National General

ACORD-35 email

Accepts the signed release by email — we attach the new declarations page it needs.

Allstate · Massachusetts

Specialist handling

Massachusetts needs a state 2-A form — our specialists send it with your request.

Unknown carrier

Provisional route

No playbook yet? We fall back to a conservative, evidence-first route and flag it for curation.

Playbooks are versioned and confidence-scored. New carriers start on a conservative provisional route and get curated as evidence accrues.

How it works

One call in. A verified outcome out.

You keep the customer relationship. We take the cancellation from intake to confirmed termination — and prove every step.

01Intake

Send what you have

POST a cancellation with whatever you hold. Partial data is fine — even a name and prior carrier opens a case.

02Collect

We collect the rest

A branded magic-link flow reaches the consumer to fill gaps and e-sign the ACORD-35 release, prefilled from the case.

03Route

Routed the right way

The carrier playbook picks the channel that carrier accepts — fax, email, agent-of-record call, self-serve portal, or state form.

04Verified

Verified terminated

A case is marked verified only when we hold proof the prior policy ended — and we tell you when we couldn't. Refunds tracked; a signed webhook fires on every transition.

API-first

Integrate once. Cancel anywhere.

POST whatever you have. Track status by case id. Receive HMAC-signed webhooks as the case moves. Test the whole thing against a carrier simulator first.

Intake

Flexible intake

Partial data starts a case; we collect whatever's missing from the consumer.

Idempotency

Idempotent

Retry safely with an Idempotency-Key — the same request never double-opens a case.

Webhooks

Signed webhooks

Every stage transition is pushed with an HMAC-SHA256 signature header.

Sandbox

Sandbox + time-warp

A carrier simulator and time-warp fast-forward confirmations before you go live.

Zero-touch doctrine

Automation first. Humans as a measured last resort.

Cases escalate through three tiers, and every escalation is reason-coded — so automation coverage is something you can measure, not just claim.

Tier 0

Fully automated

Machine-to-machine cancellation with no human in the loop — the default target for every case.

Zero human touches
Tier 1

Guided consumer

We prep everything; the consumer does the one thing only they can — a call, a tap, or a signature.

One consumer action
Tier 2

Human ops

A measured last resort. Every manual touch is reason-coded so automation coverage stays measurable.

Reason-coded escalation

Supervision without per-case clicks. A release queue, QA sampling, and standing authorization keep partners in control.

We stand in front, so cancellations aren’t your problem

By default, PolicyCancel is the consumer-facing brand on every cancellation. Your agency or carrier never has to run the process or wear its friction — when the old carrier drags its feet, that frustration lands on us and on them, not on you. In Florida and New York we make your brand primary instead, for legal reasons (for now).

  • Default — PolicyCancel fronts the consumer flow end to end
  • Your brand stays clear of the old carrier's delays and annoyances
  • Florida & New York — your brand goes primary, for legal reasons (for now)
  • State-correct disclosure language applied automatically

Security

Built for data you can’t afford to mishandle

Cancellations touch real consumer PII and policy records. Here’s how that data is protected — and we won’t claim certifications we don’t hold.

Verify every delivery came from us before you act on it.

Durable evidence retention

SEC·04

Signed forms, receipts, and carrier replies are retained as an auditable record.

Least-privilege ops console

Ready when you are

Stop chasing cancellations. Start verifying them.

Spin up a sandbox workspace, fire a test cancellation at the carrier simulator, and watch it reach a verified outcome. Pricing is custom, built around your volume.
