Aviva UK car insurance is cancelled primarily by phone (standard policies) or online via MyAviva for Aviva Online/Premium products; email enquiry is also available. A 14-day cooling-off period applies: if cover has started, a pro-rata deduction plus a £25 admin fee applies; if not started, a full refund is given. Mid-term cancellations after cooling-off incur a £38 cancellation fee plus a pro-rata deduction for days covered, with no refund if a claim has been made. No pause or freeze option exists for car insurance policies.

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
