Review of the Acorn Insurance, Car Insurance:

AWFUL COMPANY ...

Yet again seems to be a pattern emerging policy cancellation for speeding after 2 months be very wary of this company Reviewed on: 6th July 2024

This company, in one word, is unprofessional and does not deal with understanding and diplomacy. They added £25 extra because I was late in payment because my bank was frozen. I gave a reasonable explanation, but they only want money. I do not recommend Reviewed on: 13th January 2024

DON'T use this company IMO as they will look for any...

DON'T use this company IMO as they will look for any excuse in the book not to cover you in the event of an emergency. We had an issue with our oil boiler and when we needed help they told us, "sorry we don't cover oil boilers" and gave us 101 excuses not to help. They will take your money but in our experience look for ANY reason not to assist. Reviewed on: 8th January 2024

Ban This Company

5 months after the non fault claim, no settlement yet as they lied to me that I choose to not to claim under my comprehensive policy, ( I mean what a lie ) what would I do that for. I recorded all the calls so reported this to regulater authorities now. All they are interested are in making money through supplied Hire vehicle, the longer you have it, more money they will make from it on non fault claim. Several calls, emails but always misleading you purposely. ACORN PROPER CON ARTISTS WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I will not take this lightly so rasied the matter with relevant authorities, I am having my legal body involved in the matter now because they should be banned from Scaming people off. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2023

scam

collected car for glass repair after attempted theft - sold it for profit with its entire content, did not communicate that this had happened and pretended car was being repaired. Not settled the claim after 4 months to the incident. should have FCA licence removed and be investigated Reviewed on: 31st October 2023

They never Get back to you and just keep sending and sending emails !!!!!!!!!!!!

Please avoid this insurance company like the plague !! there customer services is dreadful no one returns your calls I have been sitting on the waiting system for 25 mins so far !!! just to speak to someone dreadful services Reviewed on: 30th October 2023

Avoid at all costs

!!!! I have just found out that this company has been taken to the Supreme Court of appeals before!!!!! !!! They are also now on their 3rd trading name !!!!! Disgusting company to deal with. If I could give you a negative star rating I would. They lie constantly and don’t even bother investigating properly. If you complain they ignore you. They ignore all evidence, if your insurance uses them, change companies because they are awful! They also palm off as much of their work as possible kindertons and other third party companies. They are complaint scammers. They wrote my car off when it didn’t need to be. They then took the courtesy car off me. Several advisers told me it was completely non fault and even told me they’d sent someone to investigate it. Then they changed their mind and told me I was completely at fault and then they hung up on me when I asked to take it further. I’m taking you to court and the financial ombudsman. Reviewed on: 13th September 2023

Terrible service

Do not get your insurance here. They will run rings around you. Incompetent, slow service for the simplest of issues. I have dealt with three different staff members and two weeks later still have not resolved a problem. Shop elsewhere!!! Reviewed on: 11th September 2023

Careless and no coperative at all

I bought comprehensive insurance and My van been stolen about 3 weeks before and there validation not been ending and never tell me the name of person handling my case and they didn't provide coutesy van as it mentioned clearly in their insurance its their job to provide coutesy van on first hand. Absolutely useless company never recommend it Reviewed on: 30th August 2023

Excellent customer service

They are always on top of everything, always pushing for more to be great Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Do not use this company!! Terrible customer service. Impossible to cancel policy!!

We took out this insurance for our teenage son for his first car as at the time was one of the cheapest quote with a black box. The policy is now due to be automatically continued unless the company is notified of cancellation by telephone. We have been on hold for hours on end over several days attempting to cancel the policy. Every time our call is answered we are then put on hold and the call is cut off!! Absolute scammers... please avoid Reviewed on: 29th July 2023
