They renew without me asking for it having already asked to cancel last year?! They won’t answer emails! Never had to claim so don’t know if good there or not but bad news on the renewals

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your feedback - I am sorry to hear you were not expecting the automatic renewal of this policy. Our offering of automatic renewal has been agreed to at policy purchase and we do email a renewal invitation over to you prior to the renewal going through - I am sorry if this has not got through to you. I cannot see any cancellation requests as received from you - please submit this here and one of the admin team will get this dealt with for you - https://cover4rentals.com/app/contact-us
Kind regards
