Your policy will be valid from the following day. Example case: You buy your policy on February 1st. You’re then covered against any damages that may occur from February 2nd. This also means that your protection will not be valid for any claims which might occur before February 2nd. If you decide to take advantage of our insurance provider switching service, you’ll receive a preliminary contract alongside your confirmation of cancellation from your current insurance provider. This contract will have a start date of 12 months in the future. As soon as the cancellation is confirmed, our start date will be edited to conform to the date on which your previous cover ends. From this date you"ll be insured with Getsafe.
