Will I get a refund if I cancel my insurance?
As a member of IDA Forsikring, you pay only for the period you have been insured. You won't have to pay for any benefit you don't receive. Your insurance policies are valid for one year. This time expansion means that if you sell your car or house in the middle of the insurance year, you will receive a refund for the remaining premium for the remaining period of the year.

The premium payment date may vary if you have used NETS or paper invoices to pay your insurance bills.
