You've decided to cancel your Allstate Roadside Services that came with your Driver's Ed program. Whether you've found alternative coverage, no longer need the service, or simply want to streamline your expenses, this guide will walk you through the process step-by-step. It's important to remember that Allstate Roadside Assistance often comes as an add-on or a free trial through third-party Driver's Ed providers like I Drive Safely or Aceable, rather than directly from Allstate as a standalone Driver's Ed product. This means the cancellation process will likely be through the Driver's Ed provider's platform.
Let's dive in and get this sorted out!

Canceling a service can sometimes feel like navigating a maze, but we'll simplify it for you. The key here is understanding who is providing the roadside assistance you're canceling. In most cases, if you got it with a Driver's Ed program, it's likely a partnership with Allstate.

Step 1: Identify Your Provider and Gather Information
Hold on a second! Before you do anything else, pause and think: Which Driver's Ed program did you sign up for? This is crucial because the cancellation process will depend heavily on whether you enrolled through platforms like I Drive Safely, Aceable, or another accredited online driver education course.
1.1. Determine Your Driver's Ed Provider:
- Recall the name of the online Driver's Ed course you took. Was it I Drive Safely, Aceable, DriversEd.com, or something else? This is the most important piece of information you need.
- Check your email inbox. Search for confirmation emails related to your Driver's Ed enrollment. These emails often contain details about your roadside assistance enrollment and the platform through which it was offered. Look for terms like "Allstate Roadside Assistance," "Roadside Protection," or "Free Trial."
1.2. Locate Your Account Details:
- Find your login credentials for your Driver's Ed account. You'll likely need to log in to manage your subscription.
- Locate any membership IDs or policy numbers related to the roadside assistance. While not always necessary for cancellation through the Driver's Ed platform, having them handy is always a good idea.
Step 2: Access Your Driver's Ed Account
Once you've identified your provider, the next step is to log into your account.
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
2.1. Log In to Your Student Account:
- Go to the official website of your Driver's Ed provider (e.g., idrivesafely.com, aceable.com, driversed.com).
- Log in using the email address and password associated with your student account. If you have a parent account, you may need to log into the specific student account linked to the roadside assistance subscription.
2.2. Navigate to Subscription or Profile Settings:
- After logging in, look for a section labeled "Profile," "Account Settings," "Subscriptions," or similar. This is usually located in the top right corner of the page, often represented by your first initial in a circle or a dropdown menu.
- Click on this section to access your account management options.
Step 3: Find the Roadside Assistance Subscription
Within your account settings, you'll need to pinpoint the specific roadside assistance subscription.
3.1. Locate the Subscription Block:
- In your profile or account settings, you should see a "Subscriptions" or "Membership" block. This section typically displays details about your monthly subscription, renewal dates, and your Allstate Roadside Assistance Member ID.
- Look for a button or link that says "More Info" or "Manage my Subscription" next to your roadside assistance details. Click on this to proceed.
3.2. Access Subscription Management:
- Clicking "Manage my Subscription" will typically take you to a dedicated page with more details about your roadside assistance. Here, you might see options to update billing information or, most importantly, cancel your subscription.
Step 4: Initiate the Cancellation Process
This is the core step where you'll formally request the cancellation.
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.
4.1. Select "Cancel this Subscription":
- On the roadside assistance management page, look for a prominent button or link that states "Cancel this Subscription" or "Cancel my Membership."
- Click on this option.
4.2. Confirm Your Cancellation:
- A window or pop-up will usually appear, providing more information about the benefits you're about to lose. This is a common practice to encourage you to reconsider.
- If you're still set on canceling, select the "Cancel anyway" or "Confirm Cancellation" button. Be firm in your decision.
4.3. Verification of Cancellation:
 |
- The page should refresh, and you should be returned to your course or profile settings. To double-check that the cancellation was successful, navigate back to your profile settings. You should no longer see a subscription window or the roadside assistance listed as an active service. This means it's been successfully cancelled!
Step 5: Consider Direct Contact (If Online Method Fails)
While the online self-service option is usually the most straightforward, sometimes issues arise, or your specific provider might have a different process.
5.1. Utilize Chat or Text Support:
- Many Driver's Ed providers offer virtual assistants or chat support directly on their websites. Look for a chat bubble icon, usually in the lower left or right corner of the screen.
- You can often use this to verify your cancellation status or get direct assistance. Be prepared to provide your account email and a brief summary of your request.
5.2. Call or Email Customer Service:
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
- If you're having trouble with the online cancellation, or if you prefer speaking to someone, contact the customer service number or email provided by your Driver's Ed platform.
- For I Drive Safely, you can text 1-888-292-0599 or email roadside@idrivesafely.com.
- For Aceable, you can text 855-215-2799 or email roadside@aceable.com.
- For DriversEd.com, you can text 1-888-289-2816 or email roadside@driversed.com.
- When contacting them, have your account details ready (email, name on the account, any member IDs). Clearly state that you wish to cancel the Allstate Roadside Assistance linked to your Driver's Ed program.
5.3. Request Confirmation:
- Regardless of the method you use, always request a confirmation of your cancellation. This could be an email confirmation or a reference number for your cancellation request. Keep this for your records.
Important Considerations:
- Free Trial Periods: If you enrolled in a free trial of roadside assistance, be mindful of the trial end date. If you don't cancel before it expires, your enrolled payment method will likely be charged for the monthly subscription.
- Refunds: Most roadside assistance subscriptions offered through Driver's Ed programs are non-refundable once a new billing cycle begins. However, if you cancel a free trial before it ends, you won't be charged. If you cancel a paid subscription mid-cycle, you generally won't receive a prorated refund for the current month. Review the specific terms and conditions of your Driver's Ed provider for their refund policy.
- Lapse in Coverage: If you're canceling to switch to another roadside assistance provider or to add it to your existing car insurance, ensure your new coverage is active before canceling the old one. This prevents any gap in roadside protection.
