CarShield Cancellation Letter

Skip the printer and the post office. We fill in this letter, you sign it on your phone, and we mail it USPS Certified for $29.

Use this CarShield cancellation letter to give CarShield written notice that you're cancelling. CarShield requires written notice, so a signed letter is the core of the cancellation.

What to put in your CarShield cancellation letter

  • Your full name as it appears on the CarShield account.
  • Your account or member number.
  • The mailing address on the account.
  • A plain statement that you are cancelling, and the date it takes effect.
  • A request to stop all billing after that date.
  • A request for written confirmation by email and mail.
  • Your signature and the date.

The sources we checked say CarShield also asks for:

  • Written request to cancel the contract, sent to the Administrator
  • Older contract forms only: Federal Odometer Statement or notarized affidavit verifying mileage at the time of the request

Where to mail your CarShield cancellation letter

The mailing address in our sources is: American Auto Shield, LLC, 1597 Cole Boulevard, Suite 200, Lakewood, CO 80401-3418.

Why send it USPS Certified Mail

USPS Certified Mail gives you a mailing receipt and a tracking number, and the Postal Service records when the letter is delivered. That record is what you point to if the company says it never got your notice.

Some contracts require certified mail. Others only ask for written notice, and certified mail is still the safest way to send it. Some contracts count notice from the day the letter arrives and others from the postmark date. The USPS record shows both.

Regular mail leaves you with nothing to show. A letter can sit in a mailroom, get misrouted or get thrown away, and you have no way to prove when, or whether, it arrived.

When we mail a letter for you, it goes USPS Certified within one business day of your order, and we email you the tracking number. You can follow it on the USPS site until it's delivered. The price is $29, paid when you order.
