Re: Cancellation of policy number

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please confirm the cancellation in writing, stop collecting premiums from that date and refund any premium already paid for the period after the end date.

Yours faithfully,

What to look out for

Only cancel once your replacement cover has definitely started, so that you are never left uninsured.
Cancelling car insurance? Make sure the vehicle is insured under a new policy or is properly declared off the road before the cover ends.
Check whether a cancellation fee applies, and whether the refund is calculated pro rata or on a shorter scale.
