Can you cancel Hyundai Protection Plan?
Yes. Hyundai Protection Plan plans are cancellable, and what you get back depends on timing: a full refund within the first 60 days (no claims made), and a prorated refund for the unused portion after that. The unused premium is money you're owed — it doesn't belong to the dealer or administrator.

Step-by-step: how to cancel
Step 1 — Gather your documents. You'll want your contract/agreement, the vehicle VIN, your account or loan number, and proof of any triggering event (payoff letter, refinance confirmation, trade-in paperwork, or total-loss settlement).
Step 2 — Start with the selling dealer. Hyundai Protection Plan contracts are normally cancelled through the dealership's finance department. Tell them you want to cancel and ask them to submit the request to the administrator. Get the request and date in writing.
Step 3 — Go direct if the dealer stalls. If the dealer drags their feet, contact Hyundai Protection Plan directly at (800) 477-8089. Dealers earn commission on these products and sometimes delay cancellations.
Final step — Track the refund. Processing typically takes 3–4 weeks. Within 60 days the refund goes back to your original payment method; if financed, it may apply to your lienholder.Follow up if it doesn't arrive on schedule.
How much will you get back?
Cancel within the first 60 days (no claims made) and you're typically owed a full refund. After that, your refund is prorated by remaining coverage.
As a rule of thumb, the prorated math is: (months remaining ÷ total term) × price paid − fees. Within 60 days the refund goes back to your original payment method; if financed, it may apply to your lienholder.
