Important information:
1. All transactions processed by telephone may be subject to an additional handling charge of up to €25 if the option to process the transaction is available on our on-line self-service facility (www.aig.ie/myaig)
2. Any premium rebate will be refunded to you within 5 business days of receiving instruction to amend your policy.

Please note that, with the exception of Personal Accident, Leisure Travel or Car Hire Excess insurance policies, we do not charge any additional premium in instances where the cost of the premium adjustment is less than €20. Likewise, we do not process any premium rebates below €20 on such policies where an adjustment is made. For Personal Accident, Leisure Travel or Car Hire Excess insurance policies this adjustment threshold is set at €2.
Cooling-Off period
For non-life general insurance products, you the policyholder are entitled to a 14 working day cooling-off period. We require you to request a cancellation in writing (either by email or letter) and such cancellation will take effect upon receipt of the written cancellation request by us.
This entitles you to withdraw from the policy without premium penalty (however, the new policy set-up transaction fee remains non-refundable) and without giving any reasons for cancellation. This 14 working day period begins on the start date of the policy (stated on your Schedule). You may be charged with a pro-rata premium amount for the period where the policy was on risk during this cooling-off period.
If at any time you decide to cancel after the cooling off period your policy (provided the duration of insurance contract is not less than one month), and you do so in writing (by email or letter) we will not impose any financial cost other than the cost of the premium for the period of cover. If you paid by direct debit, the Service Charge is non-refundable after the cooling off period.
If you have arranged your AIG policy through an authorised intermediary (a broker) any cancellation request, you make may incur additional intermediary fees.
Important:
For motor insurance policies we require the return of the insurance certificate and disc to accompany all policy cancellation requests.
Policy Cancellation
If any motor insurance renewal premium is not paid on the date it is due cover will be deemed cancelled from the date on which the premium was due.
If any non-motor insurance premium is not paid on the date it is due, you have 14 working days in which to pay such premium. If the premium is not paid during this period, cover will be deemed cancelled from the date on which the premium was due.
If the premium is paid during the 14 working day period, the insurance cover will operate as if it has been paid on the due date.
Note:
All consumers are required to answer all questions on their completed application form honestly and with reasonable care. Failure to do so may result in your policy being cancelled or we may refuse to deal with any claims or reduce the amount of a claim payment
Conflicts of Interest
It is our policy to avoid any conflict of interest when providing business services to our customers. However, if an unavoidable conflict arises, we will advise you of this in writing before providing any business service.
Insurance Compensation Fund
You may be entitled to compensation from the fund in the unlikely event that AIG Europe S.A. cannot meet its obligations. The maximum amount that could be available in respect of any sum due to a policyholder is 65% of the sum due or €825,000, whichever is the lesser. However, in the case of third party motor insurance claims, where an insurer is in liquidation the fund will make a payment of 100% of an award. Further information on the Insurance Compensation Fund is available on the Central Bank of Ireland website.
