Aviva Car insurance reviews (556)

Avoid like the plague!

1
Terrible customer service. Revoked my No Claim Bonuses even though the 3rd party has amitted liability and their insurance has paid Aviva and me. Getting through to customer services to get my NCB back is near enough impossible. Would never use Aviva again. Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

cover voided and mistreated

1
I paid for 1 year car insurance but I could use its cover for only 2 weeks. The policy investigator couldn't find the temporary address address I provided when I applied for the policy, and instead of contacting me to inquiry about it, they have blocked my car cover. They just sent an email notifying that they void the cover... luckily I read it the day after, I risked to drive without cover for days because they didn't bother to make a phone call. First shoot and then ask questions, they treated me like I was a terrorist. I called them and instead of apologise and fix the situation, they told me I have to re apply for another cover and my previous premium money are lost. They made a mistake in checking the address, they mistreated me like I was a terrorist, they put me in a dangerous condition (voiding my cover without warning me), and I must pay. I am contacting lawyers, they must pay for what they did. Do you want to join them? First find a good lawyer. Reviewed on: 17th December 2021

My advice would be to avoid Aviva. Still waiting for liability of my claim to be process 3 months after the accident. Simple rear end accident yet I have to pay excess and interest with no timeline by Aviva provided. On top of this they only communicate 'when asked' and you have to be on old for hours for the privilege. Reviewed on: 30th November 2021

AVOID!!

1
Avoid! They are good on marketing and looking from outside but when you really need to deal with them they just want your money. A non fault claim they "see it" as fault because they did not recover the money from 3rd party. You loose NCD because of that even if it was not your fault at all! but wait...it is your fault that they cannot or did not recover the money after 7 months because their solicitors are too lazy and don't care much because there is not much money involved. Absolutely outrageous! A big fat cat! Reviewed on: 12th November 2021

Excellent support and service when I needed it.

We've been with Aviva for quite a while and have our car insurances with them. They have always been very helpful when deciding what to do and their support has been top notch. More so this last year as we needed their help with a small knock (my first in 20 years) and they really helped me through it all. On top of that they are still very competitive on premiums.

Honest advice

5
Been with Aviva car insurance over 10 years. Never had to claim myself, however another car reversed into mine and the persons insurance also was Aviva who were very quick to fix my car at my main dealership not a 'recommended' site like other car insurance. Reviewed on: 5th July 2021
