How to cancel your Aegas insurance policy and recover your refund in the UAE
Why customers cancel Aegas insurance
Aegas is a Ukraine-registered, subscription-based motor insurance platform that serves UAE residents with digital-first coverage and customizable policy options. The service appeals to individuals seeking flexible insurance without traditional broker intermediaries or excessive paperwork.
You may decide to cancel Aegas for legitimate reasons: a competing insurer offers better rates, your vehicle circumstances changed, you relocated outside the UAE, or you experienced poor claims handling or customer service. Whatever your motivation, Yafee provides you with the precise legal framework and step-by-step procedure to exit your policy cleanly and reclaim any refund due to you.
Most common cancellation triggers
Price increases at policy renewal drive many UAE customers to explore alternative providers. Others cancel after switching to a locally-based insurer with superior Arabic language support or expedited claims processing. A significant cohort cancels when their personal circumstances shift: vehicle sale, relocation, addition of drivers, or change in annual mileage. Yafee has documented patterns across hundreds of cancellation requests, and the majority stem from cost, service quality, or coverage misalignment rather than system failures or fraud.
What you must consider before canceling
Canceling your Aegas policy terminates your insurance coverage on the effective date you specify. You must immediately secure replacement insurance if you operate a motor vehicle in the UAE, as driving uninsured violates UAE Traffic Law and subjects you to substantial fines and vehicle impoundment. Aegas will send you email confirmation of cancellation and should process your refund (if eligible) within 10 to 30 business days. Retain all cancellation confirmations and bank transfer evidence showing refund receipt.
Your legal position under UAE consumer protection law
The UAE provides robust statutory protection for insurance policyholders through two primary legal instruments: Federal Law No. 6 of 2018 on Consumer Protection and the UAE Civil Code. These laws guarantee your right to cancel and establish enforceable timelines and refund obligations.
Core rights you possess as a policyholder
You hold the statutory right to cancel your insurance policy by written notice to the insurer. Aegas must acknowledge your cancellation request and calculate any refund within a reasonable timeframe, defined in UAE consumer law as 14 days maximum. You also possess the right to transparent disclosure of your policy terms, refund eligibility criteria, and any deductions applied to your refund payment. Because Aegas serves UAE residents, these protections apply to you regardless of the company's Ukrainian registration or where it processes its operations.
Your legal position: If Aegas refuses to cancel, ignores your cancellation demand, or delays processing beyond 14 days, you can escalate to the UAE Central Bank Consumer Protection Department or file a formal complaint with your emirate's Consumer Protection Authority. Document all correspondence (email timestamps, reference numbers, sender/recipient addresses) to strengthen your regulatory case.
What to do if Aegas fails to respond
Legitimate insurers acknowledge cancellation requests within 3 to 5 business days. If Aegas does not respond within one week, send a follow-up email to [email protected] with "URGENT: Cancellation confirmation required" in the subject line. Request and save delivery receipts and read receipts if your email client provides them. If a second week passes without acknowledgment, Yafee advises filing a formal complaint with the relevant emirate Consumer Protection Authority, citing unreasonable delay in processing your lawful cancellation.
Methods to cancel your Aegas policy
Aegas accepts cancellation through two channels: email communication and postal mail. Email is substantially faster and generates a verifiable digital audit trail, making it the preferred method for UAE-based policyholders.
Cancel by email (fastest and most secure)
Email is the most reliable cancellation route and leaves no ambiguity about delivery or timing. Follow this procedure:
- Compose an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Policy cancellation request: [Your policy number]"
- Include your full name, policy number, and phone number
- State explicitly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Aegas insurance policy effective [your preferred date]"
- Specify your preferred refund method: bank transfer to your registered account
- If you have outstanding claims, state their status and request guidance on how cancellation affects them
- Send the email and take a screenshot of the sent message
- Note the exact time and date of sending
- If your email client offers read receipts, enable them
- Wait for acknowledgment within 3 to 5 business days
- Aegas should confirm receipt and outline the cancellation timeline
- Save this confirmation email in a dedicated folder for your records
- Monitor your bank account for refund processing within 14 days
- Check your email for refund confirmation from Aegas
- If no refund appears after 14 days, send a follow-up inquiry
Cancel by postal mail (alternative method)
Postal mail provides a formal paper trail but takes significantly longer. Use this approach only if email fails or you prefer a certified record:
- Prepare a signed cancellation letter addressed to Aegas
- Include your full name, current address, policy number, and date of birth
- State clearly: "I request cancellation of my Aegas insurance policy effective [date]"
- Specify your bank account details for the refund
- Post the letter via registered mail to the address provided by Aegas
- Request a proof-of-delivery receipt from the postal service
- This serves as evidence if a dispute arises about timing
- Allow 7 to 10 business days for postal delivery plus 3 to 5 days for Aegas acknowledgment
- Total expected response time: 10 to 15 business days
- Follow up with an email to [email protected] referencing your postal request
- This accelerates processing and creates a digital record
Refund timeline and what affects your payment
UAE consumer law requires insurers to process refunds within 14 days of a valid cancellation request. Your refund amount depends on your policy start date, cancellation date, and any outstanding claims or policy adjustments.
How your refund is calculated
Aegas uses a pro-rata refund model: you receive a refund for the unused portion of your premium. If you paid for 12 months and cancel after 3 months, you reclaim the 9-month balance minus any applicable administration fees (typically 5 to 10 percent). If you submitted a claim during your policy period, Aegas may offset its payout against your refund. Request an itemized refund statement from Aegas so you can verify the calculation independently.
When you receive your money
Aegas deposits refunds directly to the bank account registered on your policy. Processing takes 10 to 30 business days depending on your bank's international wire settlement speed. You can expect the funds within 3 to 4 weeks of your cancellation request. If your bank requires a swift code or IBAN confirmation, provide this information promptly to Aegas to avoid delays. Retain the refund confirmation email and bank transaction reference for your records.

Your insurance coverage terminates on the effective cancellation date you specify. If that date is in the future, you remain insured until that date arrives. Aegas will email you a cancellation confirmation with your policy end date and expected refund amount.
Securing replacement insurance before coverage lapses
Do not allow a gap between your Aegas cancellation and your new insurer's start date. UAE traffic law prohibits driving an uninsured vehicle, and penalties include fines up to AED 3,000, vehicle impoundment, and license suspension. Contact your replacement insurer at least one week before your Aegas cancellation date to confirm their coverage begins on the same day or earlier. Request written confirmation of your new policy number and start date.
Handling claims after cancellation
If you submitted a claim before canceling, inform Aegas immediately in your cancellation email. Your claim remains valid and your refund may be delayed until the claim is resolved. Do not cancel your policy if a claim is pending unless you have secured alternative insurance. Aegas cannot deny a legitimate claim merely because you canceled; the claim belongs to the policy period in which the incident occurred.
Removing Aegas from your financial accounts
After cancellation is confirmed, revoke any authorization Aegas holds for automatic bank transfers. Log into your bank's online portal and cancel the standing order or recurring payment instruction to Aegas. This prevents accidental charges after your cancellation takes effect. Verify the cancellation by reviewing your bank's payment schedule.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the correct procedure, but several missteps can delay your refund or jeopardize your legal position. Understanding these traps helps you navigate the process smoothly.
Not putting your cancellation request in writing
Phone calls, in-person visits, or verbal cancellation requests do not satisfy UAE consumer protection law, which requires written notice. If you contact Aegas by phone, always follow up with an email reiterating your cancellation request and referencing the conversation date and representative name. Email is the only method that creates an enforceable, timestamped record.
Canceling without securing replacement insurance
The worst timing mistake is canceling Aegas without immediately confirming that new coverage begins on the same day. A single day of uninsured driving exposes you to legal liability, vehicle impoundment, and fines. Yafee recommends scheduling your new insurance activation no later than 24 hours before your Aegas cancellation becomes effective.
Failing to document the cancellation process
Save every email, confirmation number, refund reference, and bank receipt. If a refund delay occurs or Aegas disputes your cancellation, your documentation proves your request was timely and lawful. Create a dedicated email folder labeled "Aegas Cancellation" and add every related message to it.
Ignoring outstanding claims during cancellation
Canceling while a claim is pending may freeze your refund until the claim is resolved. Always disclose pending claims in your cancellation email and request clarification on how cancellation affects the claim timeline. Do not assume cancellation stops your claim; it does not.
Missing your refund window
UAE law gives insurers 14 days to process refunds. If no refund appears after 14 days, contact Aegas immediately and request a refund status update. If another 7 days pass without a response or payment, file a complaint with the UAE Central Bank Consumer Protection Department.
If Aegas refuses to cancel or ignores your request
If Aegas fails to process your cancellation after you have submitted a written request and waited 14 days, escalation is necessary. Your legal rights are clear, and regulatory authorities enforce them strictly.
Step one: send a formal demand letter
Compose a final email to [email protected] with "FINAL NOTICE: Immediate cancellation required" in the subject line. Reiterate your cancellation request, reference the date of your original request, cite Federal Law No. 6 of 2018, and state that you expect cancellation confirmation within 48 hours. Save this email as evidence.
Step two: file a complaint with the UAE central bank
If Aegas does not respond within 48 hours, file a formal consumer complaint with the UAE Central Bank Consumer Protection Department. You can file online at www.centralbank.ae or contact them directly. Provide copies of all emails, cancellation requests, and Aegas's failure to respond. The Central Bank investigates complaints and can impose penalties on regulated insurers who violate consumer protection law.
Step three: escalate to your emirate's consumer authority
In addition to the Central Bank, you can file a complaint with your local emirate's Consumer Protection Authority. Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah each have dedicated consumer protection offices that investigate insurance disputes. These authorities have legal power to mandate cancellation and refund processing, and they track repeated violations by insurers.
