Compare equivalent protection
Match liability limits, drivers, vehicles, use, deductibles, optional coverages, payment terms, and filing service before judging savings.
Sequence the change
Confirm eligibility, bind the new policy through authorized channels, confirm the carrier will submit the required Ohio filing, and only then coordinate cancellation of the old policy.
Verify continuity
Keep written effective dates, payment confirmation, filing information, and BMV status. Do not rely only on a verbal estimate of timing.
