Contact your insurer and let them do it for you You go to your insurance company and tell them you want to change vehicles although they can change your premium since you're changing cars. You could also go to your broker and look up a new insurance company for you and you can get several quotes to choose from. The normal procedure is your insurer returns a pro rata amount on your present insurance policy, if not expired, then a new policy is taken out for the new vehicle.
