Review of the Aviva, Car insurance:

Would recommend

I had Aviva Car insurance for 1 year and cannot complain. Lovely staff on the phone, they offered me a discount for my insurance. Would recommend. Reviewed on: 5th September 2024

Shocking customer service!!

1
What a joke of a company!!! Beware if you ever get into an accident with one of their customers, shocking customer service no compassion in regards to the victim only money! As soon as a bad offer for your written off car is given they off hire a courtesy car and leave you in total distress! You have to call them as they simply do not return calls! Bring back good old fashioned Customer service with company’s that care about individuals. Rant over but don’t use Aviva Reviewed on: 26th July 2019
