QuestionDo I get a refund if I have had a claim on my policy?

This depends on whether the claim has been settled in your favour. If your insurance company have paid out for a claim and not yet recovered their losses then they will not allow a refund of premium if the policy. If you are unsure of whether the claim has been settled or not please contact us. 

QuestionIf I cancel my policy do I also just cancel the Direct Debit Agreement?

No. Please contact us before cancelling the Direct Debit. Horsebox policies are cancelled on Short Period Rates therefore you could still owe money. You may also still owe money if you have made a claim on the policy and will therefore need to settle the direct debit in full. If you are unsure please contact us.

You will be charged an administration fee for the work undertaken so far. You will also be charged pro rata for any time you have had on cover. No penalties will apply.

QuestionWill I still owe money after my policy has been cancelled?

Horsebox policies are calculated on short period cancellation scales. More on this can be found in the Policy wording on this website or by contacting the office. If you pay on Direct Debit the amount you owe is likely to be higher than the refund given by the insurer
