Do I need to inform my insurance company in writing that I won't be renewing my policy?

My auto insurance policy with The Hartford is up for renewal on February 22. I spoke to a local Nationwide agent, who gave me a significantly lower quote ($150 less per year) for better coverage. Do I need to inform The Hartford in writing that I won't be renewing my policy, or would a phone call be better?

You don't have to do either, you just don't pay your renewal and it doesn't renew. Simple as that. It will expire on the expiration date.

You could phone them, but your new insurance company should take care it.
