My travel insurer is asking for details of my home insurance and says it is normal to share the cost of the claim. Is that normal?

I don't think my home insurance has any relevant cover (I am claiming for curtailment due to illness of a non traveller).

Do insurance companies share information UK?

Although insurers share information they would be unlikely to compare notes on the contents of an application form - although they do share information on claims and instances of policies being cancelled or voided, or insurance being declined.

Can my insurer cancel my policy?

Technically, insurance companies can cancel your policy at any time, and for any reason. But they don't tend to do it for no reason.

How long does Cancelled insurance stay on record UK?

How long does voided or cancelled insurance stay on my record? There is no set time that a cancelled insurance policy will stay on your record for. Some insurers may only request your insurance information for the last 5 years. Others may require you to share your history going further back than that.

Can an insurance company cancel my policy for any reason it chooses?

In general, insurance companies can cancel your policy for any reason during the first 60 days the policy is active. However, they don't typically cancel policies for no reason. It's usually because the risk you present to the insurer has changed since you applied.
