State Law Guide
Many F&I products allow cancellation for a pro-rata refund, but the contract, product type, timing, claims, and state law all matter.
Georgia Extended Warranty Cancellation Guide
Under Georgia Vehicle Service Agreement Law (O.C.G.A. § 33-7-6); Georgia Vehicle Protection Product Act; Fair Business Practices Act (consumer remedies), Georgia gives you the right to cancel and receive refunds on F&I products. You have a 20 days (mailed) / 10 days (delivered at sale) free look period for full refunds. Dealers who fail to comply face A 10% per month penalty on free-look refunds not paid or credited within 45 days after the contract is returned (O.C.G.A. § 33-7-6(c)(3)(A)), and, where the conduct is a consumer act or practice that violates the Fair Business Practices Act, general damages, three times actual damages for intentional violations and reasonable attorneys' fees (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-399(a), (c), (d)).

Your Cancellation Rights
Under Georgia Vehicle Service Agreement Law (O.C.G.A. § 33-7-6); Georgia Vehicle Protection Product Act; Fair Business Practices Act (consumer remedies), some F&I products sold in Georgia may be cancellable or refundable, subject to their contract terms. During the free look period (20 days (mailed) / 10 days (delivered at sale)), you receive a full refund. After this period, you're still entitled to a pro-rata refund based on unused time or mileage.
Timeline
If you cancel within the free-look window, the provider has 45 days to pay the refund; for later cancellations your contract sets the timing. Failure to comply may result in A 10% per month penalty on free-look refunds not paid or credited within 45 days after the contract is returned (O.C.G.A. § 33-7-6(c)(3)(A)), and, where the conduct is a consumer act or practice that violates the Fair Business Practices Act, general damages, three times actual damages for intentional violations and reasonable attorneys' fees (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-399(a), (c), (d)).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cancel my extended warranty in Georgia?
Yes. For vehicle service agreements and extended warranties not issued by the manufacturer, O.C.G.A. § 33-7-6(c)(3) gives you 20 days after the contract is mailed (10 days if delivered at the sale) to cancel for a full refund minus any claims paid. After that you can still cancel for 100% of the unearned pro-rata price, less claims paid and an administrative fee of up to 10%.
What penalties exist for Georgia dealers who violate the law?
Under the Fair Business Practices Act, consumers can recover actual damages plus attorney fees. For intentional violations, courts can award treble damages. The Governor's Office of Consumer Protection can also pursue enforcement actions.
What is the small claims limit in Georgia?
Georgia Magistrate Court handles small claims up to $15,000, which is among the highest in the nation. This makes it practical to pursue warranty refund disputes without hiring an attorney.
Where do I file a complaint in Georgia?
