How to cancel Geico Insurance

Oh no! It looks like you want to cancel your GEICO policy. We’re certainly sad to see you go, but we’re here to make that process easy for you.

How to cancel your car insurance policy.

If you want to cancel your policy, GEICO makes it easy with no cancellation fee. Just follow the steps below:

  1. Call (800) 841-1587 to speak with a friendly, licensed agent.
  2. If prompted to speak to the Interactive Voice Response (IVR), say “cancel insurance policy” and then “auto.”
  3. You may be asked to say your GEICO policy number, so please have that ready.

Before you cancel your policy, there are a few things you should consider to be sure it’s the best next step.

I’m considering canceling because:

You should consider keeping your GEICO policy if:

Things have changed in your life, like…

  • You’ve moved, even to another state.

Your policy can simply go with you. We offer insurance in all 50 states and in DC. Get a quick quote online for the state you are moving to. Log in to your account, go to the menu, and select “My Policy Details” to start a new quote.

  • You had a change in marital status.

Just add or remove your spouse or partner. By doing either, you could qualify for additional discounts. If you’re getting married and they own their own vehicle, you could see big savings with our Multi-Vehicle Discount. You can conveniently make changes online or in GEICO Mobile.

You won’t be driving temporarily, because…

  • You’ve sold your vehicle, it was totaled, or it’s inoperable.

If you’re going to be without a vehicle for 30 days or less, your GEICO policy could cover you while driving a rental. You’ll get to keep your tenure, discounts, and benefits through to your next car. Otherwise, Non-Owner Insurance can provide you with coverage for damage to another car when you borrow or rent a vehicle.

  • You are putting your car in storage for more than 30 days.

We offer reduced rate insurance for stored vehicles in case of theft or other damage. Call us at (800) 841-1587 to learn more.

You want to save money or simplify your insurance, because…

  • You want other types of policies with one company.

You can easily get a quote for homeownersrenters, and many other types of insurance through the GEICO Insurance Agency. By combining all of your coverages, you may even get a Multi-Policy Discount on your car insurance!

  • You can’t afford car insurance.

It’s possible to pay less for your auto insurance by adding discounts to your policy or adjusting your coverage. You can also log in to your account online, go to the menu, and select “Discounts & Special Offers” to see what additional savings you qualify for. You can also go to “My Policy Details” to edit your coverage.

  • You found a cheaper rate somewhere else.

There are a number of discounts available that may result in a cheaper auto insurance premium. Once you’ve made sure you’re getting the maximum discounts with GEICO, be sure you’re comparing it to an identical policy from another company—one that has the same coverage, deductibles, and benefits that you have now.

Do any of these seven reasons apply to you? Just call (800) 841-1587 so we can help manage your policy to fit your needs.

Can you cancel your auto insurance at any time?

Complete Guide to NSFAS Online Loan Application for South African Students (2025)

If you are a South African student looking to pursue higher education but are facing financial difficulties, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is one of the most accessible funding options available. NSFAS provides financial aid in the form of bursaries and loans to qualifying students at public universities and TVET colleges in South Africa.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the NSFAS loan application process, from eligibility requirements to application steps and frequently asked questions.


📌 What is NSFAS?

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a government-funded financial aid scheme aimed at helping students from low- and middle-income households to access tertiary education without the burden of upfront fees.

NSFAS offers both bursaries and income-contingent loans:

  • Bursaries: For eligible students who meet academic and household income criteria (especially for TVET and university students).
  • Loans: For students who do not meet all bursary criteria or who are pursuing postgraduate qualifications not funded under bursary schemes.

✅ Who Qualifies for an NSFAS Loan?

To qualify for an NSFAS loan (especially for postgraduate students or programs not funded under the bursary system), you must:

  • Be a South African citizen.
  • Be financially needy, with a household income of less than R350,000 per year.
  • Have a valid South African ID.
  • Be enrolled or accepted to study at a public university or TVET college.
  • Not be funded through another bursary program that covers all expenses.
  • Maintain satisfactory academic progress (returning students).

📚 Courses Funded by NSFAS

NSFAS primarily funds undergraduate qualifications, but certain postgraduate programs (e.g., PGCE, postgraduate diplomas in education, and professional courses like LLB) may be considered under the NSFAS loan scheme, not bursaries.

If you’re studying:

  • Undergraduate degree or diploma: You are likely eligible for a full NSFAS bursary.
  • Postgraduate study: You may qualify for a loan, depending on the course and funding availability.

📄 Required Documents for NSFAS Application

When applying, make sure you have the following documents scanned and ready:

  1. Certified copy of your South African ID or Smart Card.
  2. Parent(s) or guardian(s) ID documents.
  3. Proof of income (latest payslips, UIF, or affidavit if unemployed).
  4. Consent Form signed by your parent(s)/guardian(s) to allow NSFAS to verify income.
  5. Proof of registration or acceptance at a public institution.
  6. Academic transcripts (for continuing or postgraduate students).
