They are required to give you at least 30 days notice in case of policy cancellation. They are also required by law to tell you why they are cancelling your policy.

The most common answer is that companies need to send a 10 day notice of intent to cancel.

Since auto insurance is regulated by the individual states, the answer here will vary. Typically, the lead time required isn't that great.
