cover if:

  • the insurer providing your policy will stay the same after the policy renews, unless your insurer can no longer provide your cover
  • you’ve paid for your current policy by debit or credit card or via direct debit; and 
  • you haven’t told us not to

How long is my renewal quote valid for?

Your quote will be valid until the 
date your cover is due to start, 
up to a maximum of 30 days, unless otherwise stated.

 

You can opt out of your renewal 
at anytime. If your new policy has started it can be cancelled within 14 days of your renewal date without a fee – after 14 days a £15 administration fee applies
