Choice Home Warranty
60Choice Home Warranty agreements may be cancelled at any time by calling 1-888-531-5403, but refunds can be reduced by service costs and a permitted administrative fee. Monthly-plan renewal requires written notice 30 days before term end, and state rules can materially change the outcome.
