Cancellation steps
- Contact Protect My Car customer service by the method shown on your policy documents or invoice.

What happens when you cancel
Access and coverage
Coverage typically ends on the effective cancellation date you request or the date stated in the confirmation from the provider.
After cancellation, roadside assistance and covered repair claims are generally no longer accepted unless the provider confirms otherwise in writing.
Renewal and account data
Automatic renewals should stop after cancellation, but confirm this explicitly with customer service to avoid future charges.
Request confirmation that your personal and payment data will be handled or deleted according to the provider’s privacy policy.
Will I get a refund?
Free-look period
Protect My Car offers a 30-Day Free Look policy: if you cancel within the first 30 days you may be eligible for a full refund.
Ask for written confirmation of a full refund when you cancel during this period.
Refunds after the free-look period
- After 30 days, refunds are prorated based on unused days or miles.
- A US$50 administrative cancellation fee applies to post - 30-day cancellations.
- Request a refund calculation showing remaining coverage, applied fees and the net refund amount.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
General rights under the CPA
South African consumers are protected by the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), which provides rights to quality goods and services and remedies where services are not provided as promised.
For faulty goods, there are specific return and refund protections; service contracts have different considerations and are governed by contract terms and the CPA.
How this affects Protect My Car customers
Because Protect My Car provides a service contract, the written agreement’s cancellation and refund terms are important and typically determine remedies.
If you believe the provider breached the contract or the service was misrepresented, you may seek remedies under the CPA through local consumer protection bodies or legal advice.
Customer experiences
Common feedback themes
Public reviews on global platforms report mixed experiences, with recurring complaints about long wait times to reach customer service and difficulty contacting support.
These observations are not South Africa - specific but appear in global review data (TrustPilot).
Positive and negative notes
- Positive reports typically focus on successful claim payments when the provider authorises repairs.
- Negative reports often mention hold times, delayed responses and frustrations with phone support.
Documentation checklist
Essential documents to gather
- Policy or contract document showing the start date and coverage details.
- Policy/contract number and any membership ID.
- Proof of payment (invoice, bank/credit-card statement) and communication records with the provider.
Optional helpful items
- All emails, chat transcripts or call logs related to the policy or prior claims.
- Photographs or repair estimates, if cancelling due to dispute over coverage or service quality.
Common mistakes
Delaying cancellation
Waiting too long to cancel can mean losing the 30-Day Free Look full refund and facing the US$50 administrative fee plus prorated adjustments.
Example: cancelling on day 31 often triggers the standard cancellation fee and prorated refund instead of a full refund.
Poor record-keeping
Not saving policy numbers, payment receipts or written confirmation can make refunds and dispute resolution slower and harder.
Example: cancelling by phone without requesting written confirmation may leave you without proof of the cancellation date or refund calculation.
