Why can’t I make a payment using the automated phone payment system?

Starting on November 2, 2024, the non-refundable processing fee for all credit or debit card payments changed to 2.99% of the payment amount for California auto insurance policies and remains a flat $4.99 fee for all other policies. To support this change, our automated phone payment system can only process payments for new or renewing California auto insurance policies that have an effective date of December 3, 2024, or later.

Online Payments

Can I cancel a payment once it has been submitted?

Payments can only be cancelled if they are scheduled for a future withdrawal date and the cancellation is requested by the day prior to this scheduled withdrawal. Qualifying payments can be cancelled through your online account or by calling Customer Service at 800-640-2920.

Please note, one-time credit card payments can only be voided on the same day they are submitted.

Can I make payments for multiple policies online?
All your policies can be linked through your online account where you can view your billing information and make a payment for each policy. At this time, you may only schedule one payment at a time per policy.
How long will it take for you to get my payment?
Payments made through your online account or over the phone will be immediately visible on your policy. If you mailed in a payment using a third-party service, please allow up to 5 business days for the payment to be reflected on your policy.
What is the cutoff date and time to make a payment?
If you are renewing a policy, your payment must be received before 12:01 am on the policy effective date. For policies pending cancellation, your payment must be received before 12:01 am on the pending cancellation date to avoid a lapse in coverage.
Is my personal information safe if I make a payment online?
Yes. Wawanesa Insurance uses several methods to make sure your information is safe. We use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), encryption, and automatically sign you out if you are inactive for longer than 30 minutes.
