As well as paying for insurance in one go, you often have the option to spread the cost across monthly instalments (known as premium finance). Learn more about paying monthly by Direct Debit and discover the pros and cons of premium finance in our guide.

Deleting the app from your iOS or Android device will remove:

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	The app itself and any files associated with it.
	</li>
	<li>
	Any data stored within the app, such as user settings, preferences and saved information.
	</li>
	<li>
	Local caches and temporary files created by the app.
	</li>
</ul>

When you pay for your policy in monthly instalments using premium finance, we’re loaning you the money for your premium – and you’re paying us back over a year. So this means you’ll pay more than paying for your policy in one go, because you’ll pay interest for the loan (on top of the cost of the policy). 

For iOS

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>
	Locate the Hastings Direct app.
	</li>
	<li>
	Press and hold the app icon until a menu appears.
	</li>
	<li>
	Tap &#39;Remove App&#39;&nbsp;from the menu.
	</li>
	<li>
	Confirm by tapping &#39;Delete App&#39;&nbsp;to delete the app from your device.
	</li>
</ul>

For Android

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li>Locate the Hastings Direct app.</li>
	<li>Press and hold the app icon until the options appear.</li>
	<li>Tap &#39;App info&#39;&nbsp;and then press &#39;Uninstall&#39;.</li>
	<li>Alternatively, drag the app to the &#39;Uninstall&#39;&nbsp;bin that appears at the top of the screen.</li>
	<li>Confirm by tapping &#39;OK&#39;&nbsp;to delete the app from your device.</li>
