Customer Service, the number Sheilas’ Wheels gives for leaving
0345 045 2000Getting to the right team
We don't yet know how Sheilas’ Wheels's phone menu is structured, so we're not going to guess. If you work it out, we'd like to hear from you.
Before you call
Sheilas’ Wheels is esure. Its own site says it is a brand owned by the esure Group, underwritten by esure Insurance Limited, and that it was bought by Ageas in 2025 as part of esure Group. Same fees, same help centre, same underwriter. So an esure quote is unlikely to move them; cite an insurer outside the group. Verified
You do not have to phone to cancel. The help centre says cancelling is done by live chat after you log in and choose “Need help?”. Only the policyholder can cancel. Verified
Allow 5 days to stop auto-renewal. The website says at least 4 days before renewal to stop payment being collected; the policy booklet says at least 5. You can also switch auto-renewal off in your account under Policy Summary. Verified
What you're entitled to
- Your renewal can't cost more than an equivalent new customer would pay. Under the FCA's pricing rules (PS21/5, implemented through ICOBS 6B and in force since 1 January 2022), the renewal price for the same cover through the same channel must be no higher than the equivalent new-business price. The FCA reviewed these rules in July 2025 and left them in place. Verified
- Fourteen days to change your mind. A statutory cooling-off period applies from the start of cover or from when you receive your documents, whichever is later. It applies again after each automatic renewal. Verified
- Opting out of auto-renewal is free. You can't be charged for turning it off, and you can turn it off at any time. Verified
- Cancelling costs £29, £67 or £36, depending on when you leave. The Sheilas’ Wheels fee table for car cover bought or renewed from 28 February 2025: £29 inside the 14-day cooling-off period of your first year, £67 later in the first year, and £36 in any later year. The Essentials tier is £29, then £58. The help centre adds that there is no fee for cancelling within the cooling-off period in later policy years. Verified
Lines that work
"I have the same cover quoted at £X by an insurer outside the esure group. Can you match it?"
General Naming a rival outside the group matters here, because esure is the same company.
"What is the best price you can do to keep me?"
General Use after declining their first offer, not before.
We publish these as effective general phrasing. They are not insider scripts, and we don't claim a specific saving from using them.
