How to cancel Zurich

Insurance policies - step-by-step

• Prepare: have your policy number, full name, contact details and any ID ready.
• Provide written notice: send an email or letter stating you wish to cancel and include your reason (reason not required within cooling-off period).
• Return documents: for motor policies, return your insurance certificate and disc (if applicable).
• Confirm receipt: ask for written confirmation of cancellation and a refund calculation if applicable.

Zurich Auto Parts and travel policies

• Zurich Auto Parts: cancel orders within 2 hours of confirmation; after dispatch cancellation is not possible. Returns accepted within 7 business days subject to restocking fees.
• Travel and annual policies: follow the insurer’s stated notice period (example: some jurisdictions require 7 days' written notice for annual travel policies).

What happens when you cancel

Coverage and renewals

Once cancellation is effective your insurance cover stops from the cancellation date specified in the confirmation. Automatic renewals are cancelled and no future premiums will be taken.

Data, records and confirmation

Zurich will retain records of your policy and cancellation for its regulatory and audit requirements. Always keep written confirmation and a copy of any refund calculation for your records.

Will I get a refund?

Within the 14 working‑day cooling‑off

If you cancel within the 14 working‑day cooling‑off period you are entitled to a pro‑rata refund for the unused days of cover, after the insurer deducts the premium for days on risk.

Outside the cooling‑off period and exceptions

• Outside the cooling‑off window refunds are generally pro‑rata provided no claim has been made.
• A cancellation fee may apply if you cancel within the first year (policy example: €75 applied in some policy terms).
• If a claim has been paid, a refund may be reduced or not available depending on policy wording.
• Zurich Auto Parts refunds are processed after the returned part is received and approved (typically ~15 days), and bank clearing may add 4 - 7 business days.
