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

Extremely efficient and good service

My motorhome was damaged whilst in for it's MOT, Aviva are their insurers through their broker. The damage occured in December 2024 and the matter is still going on. They don't accept that I will suffer consequential loss as a result of my vehicle being in the repairers for 2-3 weeks and their engineer has suggested a cash settlement in lieu but their offer won't cover the cost of the repair if I use the repairer we agreed on as the estimate is incomplete. Nightmare. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Absolutely abysmal avoid like the plague!

I drive an older car in a rural area and had the misfortune to hit a deer at the end of July. I claimed online and have been passed from pillar to post. I was advised in an email that my car was to be written off which led to the computer cancelling my courtesy car. It was supposed to be 5 working days to be offered a settlement and 14 working days on have heard nothing. I formally complained to Aviva over three weeks ago and not even an acknowledgment. As someone in a rural area with dogs my car is essential and I have been forced to buy another without the payout from Aviva. I have had to chase all the parties involved throughout the process and the stress has been immense. The parties don’t communicate with one another leaving me repeating the same information and supplying documentary evidence that I provided at outset. I have had to become my own claims manager, linking together the insurer, garage and loss adjuster. At one point my car went off on a loader and 4 days later I didn’t know if it had arrived the other end. Absolute shambles. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Trusting and good existing customer care

So far I have thankfully never had to claim. However whenever I have needed to ck tact them the customer service has been great. I always get a competitive renewal quote each year and this now my 3rd time of renewing, which is unlike me Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Young driver premiums.

Easy to apply for however still quite expensive and did not offer any sort of discount or other incentive to join like some other companies. Haven’t actually had to put a claim in (touch wood) so can’t say what they are like on that side but customer service seems fair and straightforward. Reviewed on: 28th August 2024

online only insurance

online only leaves little room for customer service, but is easy to use Reviewed on: 28th August 2024

Very good customer service.

Very good customer service. Had few years of good price for my car insurance but as it was getting more expensive I had to move to cheaper providers. I has good experience with their customer service every time I called. Reviewed on: 26th August 2024

Customer Service

Not had to make any claims so no idea about the claims service. Price reward would be appreciated for being a loyal client Reviewed on: 25th August 2024
