What happens when you cancel

Access and visibility

When you delete your Vero account via the app it is removed promptly from other users' visibility.

The public presence of the account ends quickly, so other users will no longer see your profile or content.

Data retention and finalisation

Vero states that full data deletion may take up to two weeks after you request deletion.

Policy records, claims history or statutory retention obligations may affect how some records are retained for regulatory reasons.

Will I get a refund?

Refund policy

Vero states that refunds are issued if Vero determines you are due one; refunds are discretionary based on their assessment.

If a refund is approved, Vero will contact you by email, letter or phone with instructions and will not ask for passwords or PINs.

Process and timing

• Approved refunds are processed to your nominated bank account within 7 - 10 business days.
• There is no explicit, automatic statutory 14‑day cooling-off refund stated in the published policy; refunds are not guaranteed unless Vero determines they are due.
• If you are unsure, keep proof of payment and policy documents and ask Vero to confirm any refund decision in writing.

Customer experiences

Common complaints from customers

Many reviewers report poor customer service, inconsistent claim handling and long delays when dealing with claims and roadside assistance.

Recurring themes include claim denials, decisions reversed after confirmation and frustration with support response times.

What customers commonly expect

• Clear, consistent communications about claim scope (for example, differences between glass roof and windscreen coverage).
• Timely and transparent handling of roadside assistance and towing costs.
• Independent review options if internal escalation is unsatisfactory; see user feedback on review sites such as Trustpilot: Trustpilot NZ (Vero).

Documentation checklist

Required documents

• Your policy number and full name as shown on the policy.
• Photo ID (passport or driver licence) and proof of address if requested.
• Bank account details for refund (account name, number) when a refund is approved.

Helpful extras

• Copies/screenshots of relevant app screens, emails and confirmation messages.
• Claim reference numbers, dates, times and names of any support staff you communicated with.
• Receipts for expenses you may have paid and wish to claim back (for example towing invoices).

Common mistakes

Before you cancel

Do not delete or close your account before securing written confirmation of policy cancellation and any refund entitlement.

Many users lose leverage when they do not keep copies of policy documents, receipts or communications showing payments and claims history.

When contacting support

Avoid relying solely on verbal promises; always ask for written confirmation (email or letter) of any agreement, cancellation or refund decision.

Failing to update the app to the latest version before attempting in-app deletion can cause delays or confusion with process steps.

Comparative recap

At a glance

When to consider alternatives

If you require guaranteed cooling-off refunds or consistently high-rated claims service, compare policy terms and independent reviews before switching.

Check claim handling standards, customer service SLAs and ombudsman outcomes when assessing alternative insurers.

After cancelling

Confirmations and follow-up

• Keep any written cancellation confirmation and note the date of deletion or policy end.
• If a refund is due, expect contact from Vero and processing to your nominated bank account within 7 - 10 business days once approved.
• Do not provide passwords or PINs to anyone claiming to process refunds on Vero's behalf; Vero will not ask for these.

Appeals and next steps

• If you disagree with Vero's decision, request an internal review in writing and retain copies of all correspondence.
• If unresolved, you can escalate to the Insurance & Financial Services Ombudsman (IFSO). Use the Vero complaints page for initial steps: Vero complaints (NZ).
• Read independent reviews to help decide if you should move to another insurer: Trustpilot NZ (Vero).
