Your time is important so we keep the renewals process as quick and as easy as possible for you. We will send your renewal information to you at least 14 days before the expiry of your policy. If this is paid by instalments, for most policies, cover will continue. To ensure you and/or your business is protected, and we know of any changes required, we may need to discuss your existing policy and cover in more detail.

Simply call us on 1800 284 627 and one of team members will help you make the changes you need.

We understand that circumstances can change which may result in policies being cancelled. As claims can still be made against you after your policy has been cancelled, we ask for requests for policy cancellation to be made in writing.

When your written request for cancellation has been made, commission and fees paid to imar aren’t refunded. The insurer will retain a proportion of the premium generally on a pro rata basis and may also have other cancellation provisions.

All of our clients deserve great service and so we need to know when this hasn’t been the case to make sure we address any concerns and get better at what we do. We always recommend calling us on 1800 284 627 and we’ll do all that we can to help or you can email insure@imar.com.au
