What to do when my auto insurance has been lapsed for 3 weeks?

My car insurance was canceled for December 3 due to non-payment. I want to take out insurance with a different company next week when I get my salary this year, the new company I subscribe to that has been gained in recent weeks? This is the first time I ever let that happen, if I have no idea what to expect.
