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

A great company

I have been with Aviva for approx. 2-3 years now, they are a great company to deal with and have always helped with anything needed. The renewal quotes have also been very competitive. Reviewed on: 5th September 2025

Simple, quick and easy

Easy switch and to deal with, didn't need anything extra and simple enough to amend. All documents sent through quickly and the online portal appears to be pretty useful too. Happy enough with them my partner is likely to renew with them when the time comes, and if the price is right. Reviewed on: 5th September 2025

I've been with Aviva a few years and their service has always beat the prices of competitors. Their window repair service was prompt and affordable Reviewed on: 5th September 2025

Great coverage and a fab app!

I chose Aviva for car insurance because they offered the best deal. The app is easy to use and has everything you need to know or check about your insurance. Reviewed on: 5th September 2025

Three good years until recently

For three years they were the best on the market until they randomly upped my premium without reason, becoming £250 more expensive than their competition. A shame to leave but as you can’t easily talk to anyone if you have an online policy then it’s worth leaving as you can’t even call to discuss your renewal. Reviewed on: 5th September 2025

Approachable

For an insurance company, they are easy to deal with. Processes are clear and acres is simple. It’s a pity they don’t value existing customers and seem to price you out eventually. Reviewed on: 5th September 2025

Great price.

Great price. It us easy to amend your policy. I had to add extra mikeage when i realised that i travelled further than expected. Thankfully I haven't needed to claim. The policy is very comprehensive covering most eventualities. Reviewed on: 5th September 2025

Absolutely dreadful and appalling customer service.

Absolutely dreadful and appalling customer service.   My elderly father contacted his insurance company after this company who he is with decided to increase his premium by hundreds of pounds whilst he’s been an excellent customer.   My father called me distressed that some man he talked to at this company was very rude to him And felt it was amusing with him trying to see if he could help reduce his insurance quote which had excessively increased and with no accidents to report that has been caused by my dad.   I have authorisation to talk on my father‘s behalf and I also called this company to complain. I could not believe what happened next.   The lady on the phone with a foreign accent was one of the most rudest, unhelpful, challenging persons I have ever met.   She placed me on hold twice for no reason she was rude, abrasive, and totally disrespectful.   Her tone and attitude towards me was extremely bad    Her name she said was Mbali or similar with the call taking place on the 5th of August between 10:15 and 10:30. This is an approximate time.  Before the lady, if you could call her that as she was so rude certainly not acting like a lady and certainly not acting professional laughed if you listen to the call towards the end.  Laughed because she thought it was funny. My father was disabled, she laughed because she thought it was funny that I was trying to help him. I was complaining about her attitude to her how appalling  . When I asked for her name, I don’t know if this is a real name But she rudely questioned me about why I needed of it, and I explained for my complaint to which she had laughed and she terminated the call without my consent!   I then decided to use live chat and had to insist on your operative to register a complaint, again this was very difficult to do.   If you look at the complaint notes on the chat, you will see that I had to ask more than once to confirm my complaint was raised and I asked for the complaint reference number which I was not provided. I was told my complaint was open and I listed the details of the complaint within the chat asking your staff to ensure it was logged correctly.   Absolutely the worst insurance company I have ever had the misfortune to talk to.   To all customers even if you think you’ve had a good experience remember when you need help, they are not there. The service is appalling and the sense that I got was that with them being in overseas call Centre they really feel untouchable for any complaint and make it very very difficult for a customer to get help. I will be reporting this company to the ombudsman and the FCA in the UK for this Canadian owned company. We have terminate the policy on its renewal date which is due on the 10th of August as it was important NOT have this HORRID AND APPALLING company have any dealings with my father.   I wonder how many customers leave this company due to extremely bad staff. The whole process was appalling and disgraceful.  AVIVA YOU HAVE caused a lot of upset to my father and wasted a lot of my valuable time.   My opinion would be to avoid at all cost to all customers reading this trust me they won’t be helpful based on my experience.
