Your policy will automatically be renewed to prevent your cover from lapsing. If you pay by Direct Debit or credit card, the premium due will be collected to ensure we have received it by the renewal date. If a third party pays for your policy, please ensure that they are aware when the renewal premium will be collected from their account/card. If your renewal date falls on a weekend or a bank holiday, we will collect your premium on the next working day. If you pay by cheque, you will need to send payment to us to ensure we receive it in time for the policy renewal date.

If you have two or more policies with us you are entitled to a multi-policy discount. These are applied automatically at inception but you will need to contact our Customer Contact Department on 03300 244 005 to apply for any discounts at your policy review.
