Cancelling short-term motor insurance

Questions to ask before buying, especially when cover is already active.

THE SHORT VERSION

Questions to ask before buying, especially when cover is already active.

01 / THE DETAILS

Check before you buy

Cancellation rights and refunds for short-term insurance can differ by policy and circumstances. Read the insurer terms and the separately disclosed GreenOnMID service fee terms before paying.

02 / THE DETAILS

Why commencement matters

If cover has already started, a refund may differ from one for a policy that has not yet begun. The length of the policy, amount of time elapsed and contractual terms can all matter. Do not assume a full refund is available.

03 / THE DETAILS

How to request cancellation

Follow the process in the issued documents or contact the correct provider. Keep a record of any reference and written confirmation. Simply not using the car does not cancel the contract by itself.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions

Can I cancel after cover starts?

Your rights depend on the applicable rules and policy terms; consult the insurer’s documents.

Is the service fee automatically refundable?

Do not assume so. The actual fee terms must be disclosed before you become liable to pay.
