Cancellation Root Insurance: Simple Process
What is Root Insurance
Overview
Root Insurance is an app-based motor insurance model that prices policies according to individual driving behaviour and telematics data. It focuses on personalised rates, digital policy management, and online claims handling.
How it works
Customers typically download the Root app, complete profile and driving assessment, and receive a quoted premium based on measured driving. Policy documents and cancellations are handled mainly through the app or written requests where supported.
How to cancel Root Insurance
Via the Root app
- Open the Root app on your phone.
- Go to Policy & Payments → Policy.
- Tap “Cancel my Policy” to cancel immediately.
- See a step guide: How to cancel - emma-app.
Other cancellation methods
- Cancel via the app store (App Store or Google Play) to stop automatic renewals; this typically ends coverage immediately but refund rules vary.
- Send a written cancellation (email or letter) and confirm with customer support; cancellation is effective when the insurer receives it.
- Reference: Cancellation options - PostClic.
What happens when you cancel
Coverage and access
When cancellation is effective, your active coverage stops immediately unless the insurer specifies a future effective date. You will no longer be able to use policy benefits after that time.
Renewals and account data
Cancelling through a store or the app typically stops automatic renewals. The insurer may retain account and driving data per its privacy policy and applicable law.
Will I get a refund?
Refund policy
Refunds (if any) are generally calculated on a daily pro‑rata basis for the unexpired portion of the policy once cancellation is effective.
Root’s stated refund approach follows pro‑rata computation rather than automatic full refunds.
Exceptions and practical notes
- Refund amounts and eligibility can be affected by fees, timing of cancellation, and whether any claim has been made.
- Confirm the final refund amount and the refund timeline with customer support; see Root’s refund policy: Root refund policy.

Common complaints
Reported negatives include unclear cancellation fees, disputed refund amounts, and occasional opaque billing or underwriting decisions.
Some users report unexpected cancellation charges or limited documentation following cancellation; confirm terms before you cancel.
Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Policy number and copy of the policy document (PDF or digital).
- Proof of identity and registration details used on the policy.
- Any correspondence or screenshots of in‑app cancellation screens.
After requesting cancellation
- Written confirmation from the insurer stating cancellation effective date.
- Final refund amount and expected payment date (if applicable).
- Receipt or transaction record when refund is processed.
Common mistakes
Not confirming effective date
Some customers assume cancellation is immediate without receiving written confirmation. Always request and save confirmation that states the effective cancellation date.
Missing refund terms
Assuming an automatic full refund is common; refunds are normally pro‑rata and subject to company policy and any disclosed fees. Check the refund method before you cancel.
Comparative recap
Methods compared
| Method | Speed | Refund | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Root app | Immediate | Pro‑rata (subject to policy) | Direct cancellation inside policy area; keep confirmation screenshot. | emma-app |
| App Store / Google Play | Immediate stop to renewals | Depends on insurer policy; store cancels renewals but refund via insurer | Use to stop auto‑renewal; check refund with insurer. | PostClic |
| Written / Email request | Effective on receipt | Pro‑rata unless exceptions apply | Best for a clear paper trail; request written acknowledgement. | PostClic |
Quick summary
Using the app is usually fastest for immediate cancellation. App‑store cancellations stop renewals but may not guarantee refunds. Written notices provide evidence and clarity about effective dates.
After cancelling
What to check
- Confirm cancellation effective date and retain insurer’s acknowledgement.
- Track refund payment and keep transaction receipts.
- Keep copies of all communications for at least 12 months.
