Review of the Acorn Insurance, Car Insurance:

The best by far for me.

The cheapest insurance quote I've had in a long time, and the people I told, found it the same. Heres to another year. Thank you Acorn Insurance. Reviewed on: 8th December 2020

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

Bunch of thieves!

Bunch of thieves! Do not insure a newly passed young driver. They make you pay 2 months insurance £361.07 up front ( at the time I thought this was odd) now I know why! My son had a black box fitted and had been insured for just over 2 weeks. This morning I had an email saying they were cancelling his insurance due to 1 instance of speeding . No warning, just cancelled straight away. Why not tell us what is acceptable and what is not, there must be some leeway? They said there’s a £180 cancellation fee and an extra £47.22 to pay on top on the 2 months insurance he’d already paid for. £408.29 for 2 weeks insurance!! Daylight robbery! Their quote might be cheaper than others but they’ll take all of your cash and cancel your policy. Avoid at all costs! Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

IF THERE WAS A 0 STAR ON THIS THEN I WOULD GIVE THIS COMPANY 0 STARS. MY NEPHEW WHO SUFFER FROM SEVER ANIEXTY AND HAD PREVIOUS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH HE REPORTED AND DIDNT WANT TO CLAIM. TO HIS SUPRISE HE RECIEVED A LETTER FROM ACORN INSURANCE WHO ARE PART OF HEAVEN INSURANCE ADVISING HIM THAT HIS INSURANCE POLICY WAS CANCELLED DUE TO A ENFORCED INSURER DECISION AND ALSO ASKED HIM TO PAY £2100.00 FOR THE REMAINDER AMOUNT OF INSURANCE. HE CALLED THEM TO FIND OUT BUT NO ONE WAS GIVING AN ANSWER AND KEPT TRANSFERRING HIM TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS! HE THEN HAS COME TO ME, REALLY UPSET AND ANXIOUS HAS HE HAD DAMAGED CAR AND ALSO THE FACT HIS A YOUNG DRIVER AND HEAVEN HAVE CANCELLED HIS POLICY. TO WHERE BEGUN TO WORRY ABOUT HIS WELFARE. I CALLED ACORN INSURANCE WHO I SPOKE TO AN ADVISOR CALLED JACOB WHICH HE TOLD ME THAT THE INSURANCE WAS CANCELLED BECUSE HE DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT COVER AS HE HAD AN ACCIDENT AT WORK. WHICH I QUICKLY INTEJECTED AND ADVISED THAT THIS IS INCORRECT AS HE WORKS FROM HOME AND THE DAY HE HAD THE ACCIDENT HE HAD SOCIAL GATHERING WITH HIS WORK COLLEGUES AND WHEN HAS FINISHED FROM THE EVENT HE HAS UNFORTUNATELY HAD AN ACCIDENT WHICH HE ACCEPTS. I WAS TOLD BY JACOB THAT HE IS GOING INVESTIAGTE THIS AND ALSO HAD RAISED A COMPLAINT ON OUR BEHALF AND ALSO PROMISED A CALL BACK FROM THE MANAGEMENT TEAM. LOW AND BEHOLD ITS BEEN 3 DAYS AND I HAVE NOT HERD ANYTHING I KEEP CALLING THERE LINES AND THERE EXTREMLY BUSY AND DONT ANSWER THERE CALLS! THIS IS DISGUSTING AS MY NEPHEW IS VUNERBALE. I BELIEVE AS TP MADE A CLAIM HEAVEN CANCELLED HIS POLICY AND TRIED TO MANIPULATED A VUNERABLE CUSTOMER BY CANCELLING THE INSURANCE AND HAVE THE CHEEK TO ASK HIM TO PAY FOR FULL YEAR!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! ONE OF THE INSURANCE COMPANIES IVE DEALT WITH AND LOOKING AT THE REVIEWS FEEL LIKE THEY TO THIS TO EVERYONE! I NEED THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT TO GIVE A RESOLUTION LETTER SO I CAN TAKE THIS TO THE FOS!!! Reviewed on: 19th March 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 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

Not settled the claim after 4 months to the incident. should have FCA licence removed and be investigated Reviewed on: 31st October 2023
