What happens when you cancel
Policy status and coverage
Once cancellation is processed, coverage typically ends on the cancellation date specified by the insurer or in the policy terms.
Any emergency or claims that arise after that cancellation date are normally not covered.
Account access and records
You should receive written confirmation of cancellation and any refund or pro-rated premium calculation from Seven Corners.
Keep digital and printed copies of the confirmation, policy document, and all communications for at least the statutory period in your jurisdiction.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
Refunds depend on the specific policy terms: some plans offer pro-rated refunds for unused coverage while others have non-refundable fees or short-notice cancellation penalties.
Whether you receive a refund and how much is controlled by the policy wording, the timing of the cancellation, and any administrative fees.
Common exceptions and conditions
- Refunds may not be available for claims already incurred or for coverage tied to non-refundable trip components.
- Optional benefits (for example, some “Cancel for Any Reason” add-ons) can have separate rules and limits on refunds.
- Age, pre-existing conditions, or misrepresentation can affect eligibility for refunds or claims.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Key statutory protections
South African consumers are protected by the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), which requires suppliers to provide clear terms, fair value, and proper notice of cancellation and refund policies.
Short‑term insurance providers also operate under sector regulation and are subject to conduct requirements.
How to escalate a dispute
- First raise the issue with Seven Corners and request escalation to a complaints manager if unsatisfied.
- If unresolved, you may refer matters to local regulatory or dispute bodies such as the Ombud for Short‑term Insurance or the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA).
- Keep records, receipts, and correspondence to support any formal complaint or dispute submission.
Customer experiences
Typical positive feedback
Many travellers report helpful emergency assistance and clear medical coverage when policies are correctly purchased and declared.
Prompt communication during urgent medical situations is commonly highlighted as a strength.
Common complaints
Some customers report delays or disputes around refund calculations, pre‑existing condition exclusions, or the interpretation of policy terms.
Careful review of the certificate wording and pre‑purchase questions can reduce the risk of misunderstandings.
Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Policy number and full policy certificate
- Proof of purchase (credit card receipt, invoice)
- Trip booking confirmation and non‑refundable suppliers’ receipts
When submitting a cancellation
- Written cancellation request (email) stating policy number and desired cancellation date
- Preferred refund method and bank details or card used for purchase
- Copies of any supporting documents referenced in the policy
Common mistakes
Not reading the policy before buying
Buyers sometimes assume all cancellations will be refunded; many plans limit refunds or have time‑based penalties.
Always read cancellation, refund, and exclusion clauses before purchase.
Missing deadlines and poor record keeping
Failing to submit a written cancellation within the required timeframe or not saving confirmation emails can harm your refund prospects.
Keep clear records and follow the insurer’s prescribed cancellation process exactly.
