Refunds are usually available if the insured didn't make any claims under their policy. There the unused period can be refunded within a week or 2. Some companies may charge a fee for early return but it varies so it's worth double checking.
When choosing the right policy it's best to compare among different companies. There are about 10 of them and all very quite significantly in terms of benefits and amount of premiums.
