Cancelling car insurance

I had car insurance with online company Ecar , I went through quidco and paid in full approx £366 getting £45 cashback (which tracked and was paid) , I eventually managed to cancel it as i sold the car waiting a long time on a 0845 number . How much will i get back after under 3 months of 12 months annual insurance , by my calculations i've used under a quarter of it ?

    If you do it online, it will tell you the refund 'if any' before cancellation goes through
  • Read the cancellation terms in your policy.

    From memory it is pro-rata and a £75 cancellation fee

    Phew, I would argue about the £75 as an unfair condition. Seems an awful lot of money to be honest.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • How do you think they fund the £45 cashback, £60 to the aggregator etc?

    Pro rata, and up to £50 fee, but if they realise they may try to claw back the cashback.
  • I've done the same thing in the last month, cancelled my policy in September and have heard absolutely nothing. No confirmation of my NCD, no refund nothing. and I paid £69 for the priveldge of calling to cancel.

    Have you heard anything about your refund?

    You are too patient.

    Start making some noise to get things moving.
