If you pay for your Motorbike policy using Close Brothers Premium Finance or you've opted into an annual automatic renewal, your policy will automatically renew each year, unless we advise you otherwise. This will be brought to your attention in your renewal invite each year on the renewal cover letter. This means you don't need to do anything unless we inform you otherwise and your policy will continue into a new year of insurance.

If you decide not to renew your policy and you are set up for an automatic renewal, you will need to contact us at least two working days before your renewal date. Please call us on 1800 930 802.
