Review of the Autonet Insurance, Insurance Broker:

CheekyCharges Campaigner

very bad expeience so we will not use autonet again Reviewed on: 26th February 2016

Awful experience

Opted for automatic renewal. Received what I presumed were renewal documents but were in fact requests for proof of address and copy of driving licence (none of which had changed). Having not received these they cancelled policy which i can understand BUT...... charged me £80 to do so!!! Outrageous. Don't touch with barge pole. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2020

CON MEN

Charged me an extra 100 quid on top of quoted price for being hit in rear by a third party whilst I was stationary at a give way sign. Third Party admitted full liability and paid for everything. Use at your peril, my advice go with well known brands that may charge a bit more and give far better customer service. God knows what will happen if I get involved with a claim with these people.

Absolutely awful company

Gross overcharging, I wish I read reviews prior to taking insurance Reviewed on: 23rd April 2020

Rip off charges

They are a broker, so you can't change anything yourself online - it has cost me £37.50 to change my address! Do not use them without realising their charging policy! Reviewed on: 8th April 2020

Cancel policy at your peril!

Been with this company for 15 years. Had to cancel a policy for the first time (as cutting down costs) Paid £356.00 in September, so have 6 months left. Expecting to get a fair refund. But no i got £1. Yes £1 with 6 months remaining. The girl with attitude said £80.95 to Autonet and £56 to underwriter. I pointed out that this is so unfair and that can they waive any costs as spent thousands with them, plus i have other policies with them. She came back in double quick time! said no its £1. I will NEVER deal with this company again Reviewed on: 30th March 2020

Overcharging and terrible service

Blatantly overcharged on renewal, cancelled the policy without chance to settle 1 case of arrears, then charged a fortune through forced cancellation, awful customer service, avoid at all costs Reviewed on: 25th February 2020

Biggest Scammers Out There !!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted to get my NCB proof from them to transfer my insurance. Forget calling them as the y keep you on the phone and charge you a fortune while you're waiting. I went on live chat and even got an email of proof of my communication online. On three occasions i was let down. They are the worst company I have ever come across. Thank God my new insurer Direct Line were fantastic. They didn't charge me a penny for having no proof straight away and waited six weeks. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM AUTONET !!!!!!!!!!! GANGSTERS. Reviewed on: 12th January 2020

Awful unethical company

Awful unethical company. Avoid at all costs! Autonet are charging us £260 to add a driver to the policy (this is a safe-no risk middle aged male driver with no convictions, no driving offences etc). Our other vehicle insurance just added him for free. I requested that they let me cancel the policy so we can go elsewhere, but they will charge £80 to cancel. I have gone through all the complaints and they are not budging. Completely crooked and unprofessional. Reviewed on: 7th November 2019

Outrageous charges

I took out a policy in March and paid for the whole year at about £270. We changed our car in September and they wanted a further £189 for the final 7 months. I understand the car is newer and costs more however I decided that was very expensive so cancelled. For the remaining 7 months they refunded me £8 when, after a long discussion said they would refund nearer to £50. I would not recommend this company at all. Their charges are outrageous!!! Reviewed on: 23rd October 2019

Fraudulant and hidden charges, and that's just the start.

An absolute disgrace of an insurer from start to finish, acting fraudulently and trying to get away with it. Refused to accept proof of no claims, arguing that it was being used on another vehicle, when it wasn't. Made my Mother feel so intimidated and upset that she cancelled the policy and moved her business elsewhere. All this because of Autonet's threats to cancel the policy, despite having submitted the no claims satisfactorily and within the time frame specified. The documents clearly state 'you may cancel within 14 days OF RECEIVING YOUR POLICY DOCUMENTS!' The policy was cancelled within 8 days of receiving the documents, as we receive documents by post. Autonet now arguing that we have documents online, when we do not - our documents were selected to be received by post. Yet another fraudulent excuse to charge an extra fee! Hidden charges for cancellation from the underwriter too that are NOT detailed in the policy paperwork. Autonet cancellation fee, underwriter cancellation fee and over-inflated time on cover fee that does not amount to the number of days on cover on a pro-rata basis. £435 policy to start with and a £281 refund after cancelling within 15 days, only 5 days after receiving the documents. £154 charged for cancelling a policy due to Autonet's own refusal to accept a formal document from the previous insurer and accusing a policy holder of being a liar. An absolutely ridiculous amount. Hidden charges, fraudulent charges and very poor customer service. Fraud and theft by deception at it's finest. Reviewed on: 19th October 2019
