Question:
Answer:
Can I cancel my policy after taking it out and will I be charged?
The policy provides you with a 14-day reflection period to decide whether you wish to continue for the full policy year. This is subject to certain terms, including a minimum time on risk charge of £25. This period also applies following 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.

Question:
Answer:
Does Complete Breakdown Rescue and Legal Protection cover both my vehicles on my policies with you?
No, it only covers the vehicle on the policy they are added to.
