Does anyone know if Sainsbury's bank car insurance charges early termination fees for cancelling car insurance after 14 days cooling off period? I still have 2 months left of their insurance...

    Thanks for that. In this case, it's not worth to cancel it before the end. I also find it's a nightmare to get in touch with them. How did you use to contact them? There is no email, no contact form...

    Just remember that if you no longer own the car & the new owner fails to insure it, your policy will have to pay out. So you will have a claim to declare.

    Use the app or user area to make the change.... Send a letter... Contact details on their website.

    It can be possible to remove the car but leave the policy to expire so you aren't charged cancellation fees. I've done that with a policy before when car was sold.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
