Question 1

How can I cancel my insurance?

Accepted Answer

Every insurance has its own cancellation rights and deadlines, set out in the general terms and conditions of insurance. A cancellation made on time is an ordinary termination; in addition, there are extraordinary grounds for termination such as a premium increase by the health insurer or a covered claim.The cancellation must be received in writing. What counts is the date of receipt by the insurer, not the postmark. Send the letter early, ideally by registered mail.
