How do I cancel my Collingwood car insurance?
🚩 You will not get any money refunded if you have already made a claim on your car insurance
To cancel your Collingwood car insurance policy you’ll need to contact your insurance intermediary. However if you’ve made a claim on your policy that is administered as a total loss, or if an incident occurs for which a total loss claim is likely, you won’t get a refund.
I’m coming up for renewal
If your insurance policy is due to be renewed soon, you can head this off by contacting Collingwood and requesting a cancellation of its auto-renewal. You shouldn’t be charged a fee.
I’ve just taken out a policy
For policies lasting longer than a month, you’ll have a 14-day cooling off period where you can cancel and get a full refund. However if your cover has started then you’ll still be charged for the time you were covered on a pro-rata basis.
If you cancel after the cooling-off period, you’ll be charged a percentage of your full premium based on the number of months your policy has been active. If it’s been active for longer than 8 months then you won’t get any refund.
A cancellation fee may be charged, but this amount will be agreed upon when you arrange the insurance.
My policy has been auto-renewed
If your policy has been auto-renewed, you’ll still have the same cooling off period to cancel your policy. So long as you haven’t claimed you’ll get either a full refund or a partial refund if your cover has already started.
