🚗 Car insurance switch letter (loi Hamon)
After one year of cover, you can cancel your French car insurance at any time. Because car insurance is compulsory, the law gives the cancellation to your new insurer (Article L113-15-2 of the French Insurance Code): take out the new policy first; the new insurer sends the cancellation to the old one itself and guarantees that your cover continues without a gap. This letter is for informing your current insurer of the change and keeping a record; it does not replace the new insurer's formal step. Sold your car? The loi Hamon does not apply: the policy is suspended from the day after the sale and can be cancelled with ten days' notice (Article L121-11 of the French Insurance Code). This template is not designed for that case.
