Review of the Aviva, Car insurance:

Claim not handled well

2
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

Good company

Good value and customer satisfaction Reviewed on: 26th September 2017

Welcoming, helpful staff

5
I have had Aviva car insurance for almost 3 years. They are always friendly and helpful and when I have had changes to make, they update their records quickly! Reviewed on: 26th September 2017

Excellent service and good product Reviewed on: 25th September 2017

ONLINE TRANSPARANCY AND FEXIBILTY

5
I REALLY LIKE AVIVA'S WEBSITE WITH THE CAPABALITY TO CHECK OUT THE PREMIUM COSTS INSTANTLY WITH THE POSSIBILITY TO AMEND, ADD OR DEDUCT VARIOUS OPTIONS AVAILABLE, GIVING AN INSTANT PREMIUM QUOTE TO EITHER ACCEPT OR GO BACK AND LOOK AT WHAT THE PREMIUMS WOULD BE WITH CHANGES TO MY REQUIREMENTS. BRILLIANT AS WELL AS BEING VERY COMPETATIVE IN THE MARKET. I AM AWARE THAT SOME INSURANCE COMPANIES PENALISE ONE FOR A SPEEDING OFFENCE WHICH ONLY ATTRACTED THE CHOICE TO GO ON A SPEED AWARENESS COURSE. WHEN CONTACTING AVIVA, THEY ADVISED THERE WOULD BE NO INCREASE OF PREMIUM AS THEY FELT THAT AFTER BEING ON SUCH A COURSE IT CONTRIBUTED TO BEING A BETTER DRIVER. Reviewed on: 25th September 2017

Increase at renewal for no reason

3
I have been with Aviva for about 3 years and stayed with them because the amount they increased each year was negligible but this year they increased by a lot for no apparent reason so I reluctantly left them. I had a choice of a lot of companies who would insure me at the price I paid the previous year so I went with one of them Reviewed on: 22nd September 2017

Generally their rates are unbeatable, particularly if you have house insurance with them too. Reviewed on: 21st September 2017

Brill insurance

5
I've been driving for just over 2 years and as a new driver my car insurance is a pain to get as it costs so much. Aviva however offered me a great deal with a no claims bonus that suited me, who is a full time student as well, very well. I'd recommend this insurance company especially for car insurance as it overs cheap and reliable cover. Reviewed on: 14th September 2017

Aviva! A fast, reliable service for anyone!

4
With such a simple and efficient service anyone could arrange their insurance with Aviva! Not to mention the fair prices, maybe you will find cheaper quotes elsewhere however it's worth the extra penny to deal with a reputable and trustworthy company like Aviva. Drive on people! Reviewed on: 12th September 2017

Amazing customer service

5
Aviva chased up my no-claims bonus from a previous insurer, reduced my renewal to match a new customer one and generally have the loveliest and most helpful CS staff ever. Reviewed on: 10th September 2017

Fantastic my Aviva app!

5
My partner and I started insuring our car with Aviva in January and I have found them the best insurer I've used! The app is fantastic, very user friendly! We recently changed address and Aviva gave us a small refund on our insurance and was in the bank within 2 days! Thank you Aviva Reviewed on: 8th September 2017
