Yes, Farmers has a grace period of 30 days for payments. During the grace period, policyholders can pay their past-due premium in order to avoid a lapse in coverage. If the grace period ends without the necessary payment being made, Farmers will cancel the policy. Even if the policyholder pays the balance within the grace period, Farmers will still charge them a $10-$15.
If you miss a car insurance payment, Farmers will usually send you a notice of cancellation that includes the final date that they will accept payment before your coverage lapses. Since almost every state requires you to have car insurance, a lapse in coverage could lead to serious consequences, including fines and even a license suspension if you’re caught driving. Additionally, going without insurance designates you as a high-risk driver and can make car insurance more expensive in the future, so it’s important that you pay your car insurance premium prior to the final cancellation date.
