How many days' notice must an insurer provide for cancellation of an Alabama automobile policy for reasons other than non-payment of premium?

In Alabama, when an insurer decides to cancel an automobile policy for reasons other than non-payment of premium, they are required to provide the policyholder with a minimum of 20 days' notice. This requirement is set to ensure that policyholders have sufficient time to prepare for the cancellation, seek alternative coverage, or address any issues that may have led to the cancellation. The 20-day notice period reflects a balance between providing the insurer with the ability to manage risk and giving the policyholder the necessary time to find new insurance solutions. This timeframe helps maintain a measure of fairness and consumer protection in the insurance process.
