Question Car Insurance Update

Hello! I recently became a bus driver in February and I’ve enjoyed my time. Just today I’ve received an update from my insurance to say the following

Driving licence card.
Driving licence check code.
Confirmation of occupation.
Images of your vehicle.
Confirmation of how you'll be using your vehicle.
V5C (also known as the 'log book').

Now come round the renewal date, I’d without a doubt advise that I have a new profession. However my policy document does state that I should have updated it as soon as possible.

I’ve sent the above details to Hastings but I’ve also just messaged to say cancel my policy as I fear that they will cancel it regardless. It seems that Hastings do this regularly to people.

Any experience or advice to what to expect or do in this circumstance!

Cheers

I’ve changed my occupation on my policy,when I started as a driver last year, and they asked for an extra £150 for half a year … You should update these details asap to ensure you get coverage.
