Selling house - closing date/insurance renewal overlap

I'm selling my (mortgaged) house and hope to close approx 15 April (3weeks from contracts issued).

But I've received a letter from my home insurance company saying my insurance is up for renewal (23 April) and they'll do it automatically if they don't hear from me within 10 days (say, 1st April).

Should I renew the insurance?

The monthly premium is approx €18. For the peace of mind, maybe I should just pay the extra €18 for mid-Apr/mid-May in case things slip on the sale side?
 
I'd give them a call and inform them that you intend to move - give them a spiel about how much you value them as a service provider and you would like to give them the opportunity to quote for the insurance on the new house. Then slip in the fact that your house will be in "limbo" for 3 weeks technically and ask them what they can do - you might be surprised ;)
