Cancel Car And Driver: Easy Method
What is Car And Driver
Overview
Car And Driver is a US-based automotive magazine and website providing vehicle reviews, news, and features. It publishes digital content and sells merchandise through its sites and third-party app platforms.
How it serves readers
The publisher offers digital subscriptions via its subscriber-service site and distribution through third-party app stores. Pricing and platform terms are set by the publisher or the third-party vendor used to buy the product.
How to cancel Car And Driver
Cancel via the publisher (web digital subscription)
- Sign in to the publisher's subscriber-service site.
- Find and click the "Cancel Subscription" link on your account or subscription page.
- Follow on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation and save any confirmation or reference number.
Cancel via third-party platforms and by post
- If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, open the respective app store account page and follow their cancellation process.
- For postal cancellation requests or if directed to mail a request, use the publisher address: Customer Service Dept., Car and Driver, P.O. Box 6000, Harlan, IA 51593, USA.
- Keep copies of emails, screenshots, or postal tracking as proof of your cancellation request.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
Web subscriptions sold by the publisher are one-year terms and are non-auto-renewing; you typically retain access for the remainder of the paid term.
Cancellations via third-party platforms may end access immediately or at the end of the billing period depending on that platform's rules.
Account and data considerations
The publisher's terms govern retained account data and communication preferences after cancellation. Expect the publisher to retain purchase records and contact details for customer service and legal purposes.
If you used a third party to subscribe, that provider’s account settings determine what data remains and for how long.
Will I get a refund?
Refunds for web subscriptions
Web-based digital subscriptions via the publisher are generally one-year, non-auto-renewing and do not explicitly offer refunds in the publisher policy.
Refunds for digital services are not automatic under these terms; refunds may be considered only in limited or misrepresentation cases and are subject to the publisher or vendor review.
Refunds and returns for merchandise
- Physical merchandise bought from caranddrivertech.com may be returned within 30 days for a full refund, store credit, or exchange.
- Refund processing for merchandise takes about 14 days from receipt; the refund may take 1 - 2 billing cycles to appear on your statement.
- If you purchased through a third party (App Store/Google Play), check that platform’s refund policy; terms and eligibility differ.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Relevant New Zealand law
New Zealand consumers are protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act for goods and services supplied within New Zealand.
These laws cover acceptable quality, accurate representation and fair trading practices for local suppliers or transactions covered by NZ jurisdiction.
Limits for overseas publishers
- Car And Driver is a US-based publisher; NZ consumer law may not fully apply to cross-border digital subscriptions.
- Refunds for digital services bought overseas are not automatic under NZ law unless there was misrepresentation or unfair practice.
- If you believe your rights were breached, you can seek advice from NZ consumer bodies, but enforcement across borders can be limited.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some readers praise Car And Driver’s free online reviews and the writing style, noting strong editorial personality and useful content for buyers.
Common complaints
- Customers report unexpected ongoing billing for gift subscriptions they expected to be one-off.
- Complaints also note billing continuing after delivery failures or unclear cancellation instructions.
Documentation checklist
Before you contact support
- Order number or subscription ID (from confirmation email).
- Registered email address or account username.
- Screenshots of subscription pages, invoices, and the "Cancel Subscription" confirmation if available.
If mailing a cancellation or returning merchandise
- Printed cancellation request with account details and signature (if required).
- Proof of postage or courier tracking for returns or mailed requests.
- Original packing slip or receipt for merchandise returns.
Common mistakes
Assuming all purchases follow the same rules
Many customers assume app-store purchases and publisher-direct subscriptions are handled the same; third-party platforms often have different cancellation and refund procedures.
Waiting too long or lacking proof
Delaying a cancellation request or failing to keep confirmation and proof of purchase can make disputes harder to resolve.
For physical returns, missing the 30-day window or not retaining tracking can disqualify a refund or exchange.
