**This fee applies when your insurer instructs us to cancel your policy back to the start date. The insurer will treat the policy as invalid from the outset, but we take a fee to cover our administration costs.

***The Cooling-off period is up to 14 days from the start date of the policy or (if later) the day on which you receive your policy documentation and supporting information.

****Price Comparison sites charge us when customers use them to buy a policy from us. We apply this extra fee for cancellations outside the cooling-off period to cover that cost of administration and their charge.

*****If you cancel your policy before the cover has started you will receive a refund, but we take a fee to cover our administration costs.


Please refer to our Terms of Business and your policy documentation for further details, including your right to cancel under the terms of the "cooling-off" period and afterwards and for details of how refunds of premium are calculated.
