Tip for Travelers

Ask for a policy review and which discounts you are missing.

Who to ask for

Ask for a policy review, with your agent or the customer service team.

Call the customer service number on your bill and say you are thinking of cancelling. That usually reaches the retention or loyalty team, who can offer the best deals.

Before you call

What to say to Travelers

Hi, my home insurance renewal went up to [amount]. Can we look at ways to bring it down?
Do I qualify for bundling, claims-free, security system, new roof or loyalty discounts?
What would a higher deductible save me each year?

Fill in the parts in square brackets with your own numbers before you call.

Offers to ask for

If they say no

  1. Ask politely to be transferred to the retention or loyalty team. Saying "cancel" at the phone menu usually gets you there.
  2. Ask them to note the account and escalate to a supervisor.
  3. If it's still no, thank them, end the call and try again another day. Different agents can offer different deals.
  4. Be ready to actually switch. The best offers often come after you book a cancellation.

Best time to call

Call about 30 days before a promotion or renewal ends, on a weekday morning when queues are shorter. Have your account number, PIN and latest bill to hand.

Confirm the deal in writing

After the call, send this by chat or email:

Hi, confirming what we agreed today, [date]: my new price is [amount] a month for [months] months, starting on my next bill, with [changes]. The agent was [name or ID]. Please reply to confirm. Thank you.

When to switch

Switch if a comparable policy is clearly cheaper, but check the coverage is really the same. Start the new policy before cancelling, and tell your mortgage lender if they pay from escrow.
