How to Cancel Your Apollocover Tenant Insurance Policy

Sometimes, a tenant policy must be cancelled before the end of the term. We want to ensure that our customers clearly understand the fees and penalties associated with doing so. Key Notes: Ensure that your policy cancellation aligns with your insurance needs, especially if relocating or transitioning to another insurance provider.

Transaction fees are non-refundable as per our policy terms and conditions. Additionally, the premium charged may not be directly proportional to the period the policy was in force due to a common industry practice called short rate cancellation. This means that, for example, if the policy was previously active for 100 days, we would charge 38% of the premium based on the short-rate cancellation calculation. The total funds retained help cover the costs associated with issuing and servicing a policy that is cancelled mid-term.

  • Outstanding Balance Payments: Any outstanding amounts will be charged to the card on file.

  • Further Deductions: No monthly payments will be deducted from your account after the policy has been canceled.

The short rate cancellation table is included in a customer's policy documents, under table R7. We strive to be transparent and fair in all our policies.

Refunds and Post-Cancellation Notices

After successfully canceling your policy:

  • Eligible refunds will be processed according to the policy’s terms. While the specific timeline may vary, refunds generally adhere to standard processing times.

  • A confirmation will usually be sent to your registered email address upon finalizing the cancellation.

Using the Customer Portal

The easiest way to cancel your policy is through the Apollocover Customer Portal. Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Apollocover Customer Portal: https://policy-portal.apollocover.com/login.

  2. Navigate to the "Policy Details" section.

  3. Select the "Cancel Policy" option.

  4. Provide the reason for the cancellation and specify the desired cancellation date.

    • Note: Fees may apply if cancellation occurs before the policy term ends.
