How to Cancel Car And Driver: Step-by-Step Guide
What is Car And Driver
Car And Driver is a long-running automotive magazine and digital publisher offering expert road tests, vehicle reviews, buyer guides and automotive culture coverage. The publisher produces a print edition on a bimonthly schedule and a complementary digital edition; subscriptions commonly bundle print and digital access or are sold as digital-only through third parties. First-hand details about frequency, cover price and auto-renewing terms are stated on the publisher store and support pages.
Next: several Australian resellers offer single-issue and multi-issue digital subscriptions priced in A$; these reseller listings provide practical AU price examples for comparison.
Quick reference
- Publish cadence: bimonthly print issues with digital editions available immediately.
- Auto-renewal: Car And Driver lists subscriptions as auto-renewing unless cancelled before renewal.
- Refunds: publisher notes refunds may be issued for un-served issues; reseller policies vary.
- Common friction: billing by third parties, missed deliveries and disputed renewals appear repeatedly in public feedback.
Subscription plans and pricing examples
Car And Driver subscriptions are sold directly by the publisher and by multiple international resellers and platforms; prices and bundling differ by channel. Use the table below for representative AU pricing examples and plan types found on reseller listings.
| Seller / channel | Plan type | Representative price (A$) |
|---|---|---|
| isubscribe (AU reseller) | Digital single issues / multi-issue packs | A$13.42 per single issue; A$33.56 for 6-issue packs (examples). |

| Publisher store (US listing) | Print + complimentary digital; auto-renewing | Prices shown in US listing; local sellers may list AUD equivalents or offer converted checkout. |
How cancellations typically work for Car And Driver subscriptions
First, understand the billing cycle: the publisher considers a subscription term (for example a 6-issue/bimonthly term) and generally continues service under auto-renew unless stopped before renewal. Expect charges at the end of each paid term rather than per issue in many direct-publisher offers.
Next, proration and refunds: the publisher states that refunds for un-served or unshipped issues are possible; policy details differ between the publisher’s direct subscriptions and third-party resellers or aggregators. Keep documentation showing what issues were delivered.
Additionally, third-party billing: many complaints in public forums point to third-party processors handling recurring charges and, in some cases, unclear invoice descriptions. When a third party manages billing, expect differences in renewal timing and refund handling.
Customer experiences with cancellation
What users report
Users report several recurring themes: unexpected auto-renewal charges, delayed or missing print issues despite active billing, and difficulty obtaining timely refunds for unserved issues. These reports appear on review platforms and community forums.
Some resellers and aggregators explicitly advertise non-auto-renew or trial-period refunds; other customers say billing descriptions can be confusing when charges are routed through partner sites. Expect variation by purchase channel.
Recurring issues and practical takeaways
Recurring issues include: third-party billing descriptors that obscure the merchant name, delivery pauses that mask ongoing charges, and slow customer service resolution on billing disputes. These are the highest-frequency problems visible in public feedback.
Practical takeaway: document every transaction, note the subscription term and expiry, and verify which merchant processed the payment so you can match bank statements to the correct contract. Keep a clear timeline of deliveries versus charges.
Documentation checklist
- Subscription receipt: payment date, merchant name, plan term and invoice number.
- Statement entries: bank or card statements showing charge descriptors and amounts.
- Delivery records: issue dates noted in digital library or delivery confirmation.
- Refund or credit notes: any acknowledgement of returned funds or planned credits.
- Trial or promo terms: screenshots or copies of promotional terms and trial windows if applicable.
Common pitfalls and how to avoid them when dealing with Car And Driver
First pitfall: assuming every seller follows the same refund practice. Different channels (publisher, reseller, aggregator, app store) follow different refund and auto-renew rules. Match your purchase record to the correct merchant.
Next pitfall: missed renewal windows. Auto-renewal is standard on many publisher subscriptions; if your expectation was single-term only, re-check the term length on the receipt.
Most importantly, avoid relying on memory alone. Keep transaction and delivery evidence neatly organised so any dispute or refund request can be supported quickly.
| Subscription type | Typical refund scope | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Direct publisher print + digital | Refunds for un-served issues possible; terms listed in publisher FAQ. | Auto-renew terms and renewal timing. |
| Digital reseller / aggregator | Reseller policy varies; some offer trial refunds, some do not. | Check which merchant billed your card and reseller-specific refund windows. |
Disputes, chargebacks and refunds for Car And Driver
If a charge appears that you did not expect, start by building a chronological record: order date, renewal date, what issues were delivered and any correspondence. This strengthens any formal dispute.
When a refund is allowed, publisher notes often limit refunds to un-served issues or the unused portion of a term. Third-party sellers may have shorter windows or different refund definitions. Keep that distinction front of mind when estimating recoverable amounts.
Most banks and card networks will require evidence when you escalate to a transaction dispute; a tidy documentation checklist reduces back-and-forth and accelerates outcomes.

What to expect after cancelling Car And Driver
After a valid cancellation is acknowledged by the subscription merchant, expect access to continue until the end of the paid term in many publisher models; any refund for un-served issues is typically calculated from the next unpaid issue forward. Confirm the effective stop date in your documentation.
Monitor billing statements for at least two cycles after cancellation to ensure renewals ceased and no unexpected residual charges appear. Keep all confirmations until you have verified final statements.
Additionally, if you use a digital library or aggregator account, check that your library access reflects subscription status and that digital archive access or app access terms align with the refund or expiry rules quoted at purchase.
Next steps and practical tips
First, compile the documentation checklist and extract the merchant name from your receipt so you can precisely refer to the correct contract and terms.
Next, set a calendar reminder for the end of the paid term and keep an eye on card statements around that date. This simple control catches surprise renewals quickly.
Finally, if a charge remains disputed after you present evidence to the merchant channel, escalate with your card issuer using the transaction evidence. Maintain polite, factual records; clear timelines and receipts are the most effective leverage.
