If you cancel your policy at your renewal date, no fees are charged. Your policy will be cancelled on a pro rata basis.

However, if you need to cancel your policy during the term, the policy may be cancelled on a short rate basis, which includes additional administrative fees¹.

¹ A short rate cancellation refers to a policy that has been cancelled by you during the term of the policy, and that includes a recovery of some administrative costs charged for the time your policy has been active during the current term.

Before cancelling your policy, we encourage you to speak with an agent to review your situation and determine if there are any other options we can offer you.

If the policy must be cancelled, the agent will be able to process your request over the phone. Alternatively, you may also request the cancellation of your policy by sending us a request in writing by mail or fax.

There are administrative costs for the setting up and maintaining of your policy that are part of your annual premium. Rather than charging for these costs upfront when your policy is issued, we spread them over the term of the policy.

When a policy is cancelled mid-term, we have not recovered these costs in full, and the short rate cancellation is used to collect the remainder.

All home and auto policyholders can use our Online Client Services.
