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.
