    The policy documents should have a 'cancellation' section - usually found in the Policy Conditions. This will give instructions for cancellation.  You should be able to mail the original policy with a written request for cancellation (subsequent to the date of mailing) and evidence you have either replaced coverage or the plates were surrendered and coverage is no longer required for the registration. Regulations vary state to state and if the state you have the registration in has 'compulsory' insurance, you will have to obtain the evidence mentioned. Remember, if you surrender plates one day, have the coverage cancelled the next day - auto insurance usually cancels 12:01am on the day the cancellation is requested.  A competent agent or broker should be able to guide you. You c an always contact your carrier for info.

    That is a great question! The easiest way is to go see your agent, or contact Them, with proof of the sale of the car, or proof of your new policy. The agent can set your policy's cancellation into motion for you. Be aware that if you are keeping the car, but cancelling your policy, that you may not be able to register the car without it, and that can open up a whole new series of problems for you. Be careful, ok? Thanks for asking!
