Gartenbau-Versicherung VVaGFor contracts signed after 30 September 2016 a letter or an email is enough: German law no longer allows consumer contracts to demand more than text form (section 309 no. 13 of the Civil Code). Give your policy number, your name and the date the contract should end, and ask for written confirmation. A German letter is not required, but it avoids delays.
If the contract can be taken out on the insurer's website, the site must also offer a clearly visible cancellation button (section 312k of the Civil Code).
Property, liability, accident and legal expenses policies
three months before the renewal date
These contracts usually run for a year and renew automatically. To end one, the cancellation has to reach the insurer three months before the renewal date, not merely be posted by then.
Special right to cancel: On top of that, a claim you have reported and a premium increase without more cover each open a one month window to cancel, whatever the renewal date.
