How do I cancel my car insurance policy?

If you decide to cancel your policy after the 14 day period, we will work out the premium for the period for which we have insured you and refund any balance. We will not refund any premium if you have made a claim or if one has been made against you during the current period of insurance. If you pay your premium by monthly instalments (direct debits) and you have made a claim, or one has been made against you, the balance of the annual premium will become payable to Aviva Insurance Ireland DAC upon cancellation. Please refer to our policy booklet for more details.

Telematics Policy

I think my driving score is incorrect. What should I do?

Your driving score is collected via your telematics device & is available to view anytime through your MyAviva portal, if you still have concerns after reviewing your score you can get in touch with our dedicated customer service to discuss on 1800 000 133.

My box has stopped working who do I contact?

You can call our dedicated customer service team on 1800 000 133. We will try and resolve the issue remotely, if we cannot do so we will send an engineer out to you to resolve the issue. Whilst the box is not working or until the issue is resolved no driving data will be collected and this will not affect your insurance coverage.

What happens if I have an accident?

If you have been involved in an accident you must take all necessary steps to ensure your safety and report any incident to the appropriate emergency services. You must also notify Aviva as soon as practically possible after the accident. Your telematics data may be reviewed as part of the claims process. This can help clarify what happened but does not determine fault.

I have bought a new car and need to get my telematics box reinstalled. How do I do it? 

Once you have made a permanent change to your vehicle on your policy you will receive a link with a booking portal link for you to organise a date & time that is suitable for you to have the new box installed. There is no need to remove your old box as we will remotely deactivate it, so that the box no longer collects or transmits any data. It is your responsibility to inform any future owner of the car that an Aviva telematics box is installed.

Is there a restriction on how many kilometres I can drive? 

With our telematics policy, you have the freedom to drive as much as you like—there are no mileage limits or premium changes based on how many kilometres you drive. Instead of focusing on distance, we look at how you drive. By measuring things like speed, braking, and cornering, we provide a more personalised approach to assessing you’re driving behaviours. 

Can I switch from a telematics policy to a standard motor insurance policy midterm? 

You won’t be able to switch to a standard motor insurance policy midterm. If you’d like to move to a standard policy, you’ll need to cancel your current telematics policy and request a new quote. Just keep in mind that any new quote will be subject to our usual acceptance criteria, which may result in those drivers who do not have the right level of driving experience not being offered a quote. We offer telematics policies in cases where a standard car insurance quote might not be available. Please refer to your T&Cs.

Green Card

Do I need a Green Card?

A Green Card is an internationally recognised insurance document which provides proof of insurance to law enforcement agencies, which you may need when driving your car outside the EU or some other European countries.

If you need one, all you need to do is ask us for one. It's free – but please get in touch with us at least one week before your journey. Please note we may not be able to issue a Green Card for your destination country. If that’s the case, you’ll need to arrange separate insurance cover.

A green card is not required by Irish motorists travelling across the border into Northern Ireland, once they have a valid Irish insurance disc. The insurance disc will serve as proof of insurance to the legal authorities in the UK, including Northern Ireland.
