Cancellation of Motorbike Insurance - what do you write?

Question

Hello,

My partner wants to cancel his motorbike insurance due to it being declared off the road, he's going to sell it eventually.

All I want to know is he has to write to the insurance company to cancel it, what exactly needs to be in the letter, ie: are there certain phrases that are best to use?

He pays by Direct Debit and has just received his new insurance certificate so if we get it written today it will be within the 14 day cooling off period.

Many thanks

Answer 1

To whom it may concern,

I wish to cancel my motorbike insurance wef (date on sorn declaration) and it has now been declared off the road.

I have enclosed a copy of the SORN declaration along with the Certificate of Motor Insurance.

As I am within my 14 day cooling off period, I have cancelled the direct debit instruction and await any relevant refund from yourselves.

Many Thanks.

Each state has different procedure.  Call your insurance company.  In NYS, I just return the plates to DMV, and they give me a receipt with a cancellation number.  That number is forwarded to the insurance company to get it cancelled.

So you have to call your DMV for your state's procedure.

Good Luck...
