How do I renew my home insurance policy?
We'll send you a renewal notice 3 to 4 weeks before your renewal date. This will contain information about your premium and your cover.
- Automatic renewal:
Check that the information on the renewal notice is still accurate. You don't need to contact us unless you need to make an amendment to your cover. - Manual Renewal:
If your policy isn't on automatic renewal this will be indicated on your renewal letter. To renew your policy you need to call us before your renewal date.
