How hard is it to cancel esure?
esure scores 64/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the GB, a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via phone.
esure car insurance is cancelled by phone (0345 045 1000); online self-service cancellation is not offered, only self-service policy changes. There is a 14-day cooling-off period from policy start or receipt of documents. Cancelling within cooling-off costs a £29 fee (plus a charge for time on cover); cancelling after cooling-off costs £67 during the first period of cover and £36 in subsequent periods, with a pro-rata refund of unused premium minus those fees. No refund if a claim has been made. Fees shown apply to policies bought or renewed on or after 28 February 2025. Policies auto-renew unless opted out.

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.
