Review of the Acorn Insurance, Car Insurance:

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

Terrible Service with Months of Delays and Excuses!

My experience with Acorn Insurance has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. I was involved in a car accident in October 2024, and since November 2024, it has been a saga of miscommunication and delays. Acorn Insurance has consistently given me conflicting information and failed to expedite the necessary repairs. The situation reached a new low when their approved repairer was unable to fix my car, and the main dealer provided a detailed repair cost estimate on 11th Fe... Reviewed on: 13th March 2025

Acorn insurance having cancelled my policy on line for a much cheaper car insurance by half the amount took money from my account.

They charged me approximately £459.00 for the privilege and I had to pay off £40 per month. This was back in October 2024. It gets better I have to ring up each time to pay the insta...

Absolutely shocking customer service

I have had an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience with Acorn Insurance, which I feel compelled to share. My car has been in the garage for a gearbox failure since the 26th of August, 2024, and I got it back on the 6th of September. Unfortunately, I had to return it to the garage on Thursday morning due to further issues. During this time, the garage had been driving the car and speeding on multiple occasions, which led to two black box speed warnings on my insur... Reviewed on: 14th September 2024

Avoid this company

I do not recommend this company, I had to pay fees of £66.00 to change the occupancy, I know it's not much, but they canceled my old policy and opened a new one without notifying me, I changed my car and address during the policy period with other companies and I never paid any fees Reviewed on: 30th July 2024

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
