You can make changes to your insurance policy in your AXA Account – your personal and secure area of our website. It’s quick and easy, there’s plenty of help if you need it and there are no admin charges when you make changes yourself online.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
- First click the ‘Log in to My AXA Account’ button in the ‘Existing customers’ section near the top right of most web pages. Or you can simply log in to your AXA Account.
- Next type in your email address and the password you chose when you arranged your insurance – or click the help link on screen if you can’t remember.
- When you’ve logged in, pick the policy you need to update, click the details you want to change and follow on the on-screen help to make your change.
Please remember to keep all your details up to date because your cover could be affected if there are inaccuracies.

We’re sorry you’re thinking of leaving AXA. Depending on when you want to cancel your home insurance, there are different refund policies:
Cancellations following a claim
If there’s been a claim on your policy before you cancel, you’ll need to pay the full premium for the year – there are no refunds at any time for cancellation after a claim.
Cancellations within 14 days
If you change your mind shortly after buying, you have two options to cancel your home insurance within 14 days of the start date:
- You can cancel the policy back to the start date. This is your statutory right to cancel. We’ll return your payment in full. In effect, this means that your home was not covered by us.
- Alternatively, you can cancel from any time after the start date within the 14 day period. If you cancel during this time, we’ll will treat the policy as having been in force from the start date until the cancellation date and return the unused premium to you.
Cancellations after 14 days
If you cancel your home insurance after 14 days from the start date you will need to pay a £30 cancellation fee on top of the time you’ve been covered by us. We’ll return payment for cover after the cancellation date (a pro-rata refund), minus the cancellation fee.
HomeSafe cancellations after 14 days
HomeSafe customers benefit from no cancellation fees. We’ll return payment for cover after the cancellation date (a pro-rata refund).
