How hard is it to cancel LV=?

LV= car insurance can be cancelled by calling 0800 022 4321 or by logging in to My LV= and requesting cancellation. There is a statutory 14-day cooling-off period from the start of cover or receipt of documents (whichever is later), during which LV= charges no cancellation fee. If no claim has been made, LV= refunds money paid less a charge for cover already provided and a £40 cancellation charge; if a claim has been made after the cooling-off period there is no refund. A closing statement is emailed within three working days. Policies auto-renew unless you opt out, and renewal/auto-renewal can be cancelled via phone or My LV=.

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.
