There was no communication at all before the renewal. Therefore the company have just assumed they could take money without prior notice of cost and no opportunity to decline renewal.

Hello Alan, thank you for your review.
We understand your concerns regarding auto-renewal and I would like to clarify this for you.
We issue a renewal invitation approximately 28 days before the policy is due to automatically renew, which outlines the upcoming renewal and provides the opportunity to opt out of auto-renewal as confirmed in our Terms of Business Agreement found both online and in your documents. Customers can opt out of automatic renewal at any point during the policy, either by contacting us directly or by managing their preferences within their online account.
I can see that we issued your renewal notice to the email on your policy as of 03/04/2026. This notice shows the date of your renewal, your renewal quote and the payment method which would be used.
If you still need assistance or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via the following link, and we’ll be happy to help during our opening hours:

New Boat Policy
The cover was a great price and met my requirements.
It was all sorted over the phone in 5 minutes, and the documents emailed within minutes.
Great Service.

It is a straight forward process to sign up; however, I did not see that the racing endorsement was to be included until I checked the schedule after signing up. This could be clearer.
