In what cases can I terminate the insurance?

When an opportunity arises, you have to seize it. There exist diverse reasons for insurance cancellation. These are the most common ones:

When the insurance expires

If your insurance expires, you can cancel it with notice or switch to another. Most insurance policies must be canceled 3 months before they expire.

After an accident

If you have a claim, you can easily cancel the contract and switch to another insurance company. However, you should make sure that the notice of termination must be given within 14 days after notification of the facts to the insurance company - this is the case, among other things, if the payment of the corresponding amount has been credited to you.

In the event of a premium increase

If your insurance conditions change or you have to pay a higher premium for the same services, you can cancel the insurance. However, the insurance company must inform you in advance of what changes will be made and how long you have until the notice period expires. If you do not cancel your insurance in good time, the changes will be deemed accepted.

When changing vehicle and owner

If you change vehicles or change owners, you can adjust or cancel your car insurance at any time. This will also be possible throughout the year. If you receive a new vehicle registration document, the old contract is no longer valid.

Release request

If you move into a shared apartment with your partner, they often both have household insurance. With a release request, your advisor can try to cancel the existing policy with another insurance company.

Double insurance

It is better not to double-insure yourself. If you have taken out insurance twice for the same risk, you should cancel one of the insurance policies. Double insurance is actually not that unusual.
