Review of the Aviva, Car insurance:

Claim not handled well

When you claim you learn how good a company they are or as in Aviva's case they could improve. They have no cover in place when you claim handler goes on holiday so your emails just go unanswered. Overall my claim was poorly handled Reviewed on: 13th September 2018

Terrible stressful experience

Someone drove into my car, I had three witnesses and rang Aviva to be told I have to do the claim online. The following day I have an email asking for information I had already provided. They didn't send me the information for getting car repaired, I spent almost all day ringing as on hold for so long. The company they agree can fix car is not a good garage and if I use my own which is approved by other insurers I can not have a courtesy car and have to pay additional money remembering I shouldn't be paying a penny as it's the other person's insurance that will pay. To get my money back I have to use a solicitor they provide. They have not assessed damage so assume it is drivable even though I don't know if any other damage unseen. This has been the worst experience and has caused me more stress and upset than the actual incident. I should put in a legal claim for stress from Aviva not the driver who hit the car. Appalling service do not use this company they only care about money. Reviewed on: 15th September 2022

No Claims proof

Aviva Zero keep sending Emails to ask me to send in proof of No Claims .I have uploaded and Emailed them back about 10 times. However they continue to Email me telling me they have not received this. Aviva Zero is a complete scam.They will take your money from you but will not reply to Emails.And you are unable to contact them. Reviewed on: 12th September 2022

Poor service when making claim

We have motor insurance with Aviva. A tree branch fell on my partners car while she was driving, it landed on the bonnet and caused significant damage. We made a claim with Aviva and they advised that a third party company called Co Part would arrange collection of the car and then we would be told if the car is a write off and told the settlement figure. The collection happened within 2 days and we were advised it would then be 3 to 5 days to get the report (confirmation of write off and settlement figure), 5 days later I chased them to confirm the report would be issued that day, I was casually told it would be a few more days. The person on the phone seemed to have no concept of how urgent an issue like this is and I had to push to get the report that day. This is when the trouble really started. They provided a settlement figure of £3,500 which is £1000 below the market value of the car from examples on Autotrader. I got no report or explanantion as to how they arrived at that figure. They told me to send three examples from Autotrader which I did and they increased the valuation to £3,850 which is still far below the market value and again no evidence or explanation was provided from their side. I asked for their complaints email address which they provided but the email address was fake or incorrect as the email bounced back when I tried it. Now they are not responding to my emails and this is all delaying my money. Aviva, can you please sort this out, I have sent a formal complaint via your website where you will have all my claim details etc. Please stop using this dodgy company Co Part.
