The policy provides you with a 14-day reflection period to decide whether you wish to continue for the full policy year. During this time you may cancel your policy by returning the certificate of motor insurance to us. This is subject to certain terms, including a minimum time on risk charge of £25. This period also applies folllowing any renewal. Full details are shown in the General Conditions of the full Policy Document, which is available via the menu.
After this 14-day reflection period you can cancel the policy by returning the Certificate of Motor Insurance to us. You will receive a proportionate refund of premium for the period of cover you have not used. If you choose to cancel in the first year the refund will be reduced by £50 to allow for costs in providing the policy. If you cancel after the first year the refund will be reduced by £25.
No refund will be provided if you cancel the policy following a claim, or an incident which may give rise to a claim.
