Renewing your car insurance

Your renewal

About a month before your renewal date, we'll email to let you know:

• Your price for next year.
• Details of your cover and the car insured.
• Who can drive the car.
• Any optional extras you've chosen.
• A schedule showing your and any named drivers' driving history.

Review

We'll ask you to log in to your account to check your new insurance documents and make sure everything's correct.

Make changes

If the cover's not right for you or something needs updating (payment card, named drivers, mileage, optional extras...) select 'your renewal, make changes' in your account. Remember, making a change can also change your price.

Payment

• Automatic renewal:
  On your renewal date, we'll take your payment using the details you provided. And that's it! We'll have you covered for another year.
  
  Want to change how you pay or opt out of auto renew? You can do this in your account  up to 4 working days before your renewal date.

• Non-automatic renewal:
  When you're happy to continue, click the 'renew' button.
  
  On  your renewal date, we'll take your payment using the details you provided and we'll have you covered for another year. 

You can check if you're on an automatic renewal by logging in to your Allianz account:

1. Select 'account details'.
2. Click 'edit renewal preferences'.

Here’s how to switch off automatic renewal in your Allianz account:

1. Select 'account details'.
