Review of the Aviva, Car insurance:

Avoid if returning from abroad

If this is the modern way of dealing with customers, give me a company where you can communicate with humans. I have paid 1 year in advance for my car insurance, while providing evidence of no-claims history. Aviva claim to accept evidence from UK or EU insurance companies. I lived and worked in Belgium since 1983 and was insured to drive there. My Belgian insurance company is legally bound to provide documentation only in official Belgian languages, ie French, Dutch and German. Their document is a form listing all previous claims. The form they gave me has nothing but blank rows because I have had zero claims since I took out the policy with them in 1999. I have sent this, a machine translation of the form plus the company's covering note confirming that I have been involved in NO accidents since the start of the policy, 24 years ago. I have uploaded all this to MyAviva, emailed it, explained several times by email and it seems no human ever examines the file. I started this process long before the requested start of insurance cover. The final straw was receiving another automated request to upload my No Claims Discount form last Sunday morning. This is UK terminology. I can do nothing more than provide evidence of no claims whatsoever in the last 24 years. If Aviva claims to accept evidence from UK and EU insurance companies, this is clearly untrue. I have asked Aviva to confirm acceptability immediately, or reimburse my payment, while I find a proper insurance company that listens to its customers. Still no reply. And in the meantime, Aviva tell me they will cancel my insurance at the end of the month if I don't upload a NCD form, which does not exist in Belgium. Reviewed on: 13th March 2023

Human Interaction is the way ahead

not the easiest website/app to navigate, always end up having to ring them to log on/amend/renew policy, but usually get the service needed when speaking to a human! Reviewed on: 13th September 2024

Excellent company offering insurance products to cover every need. Reviewed on: 8th September 2024

Quick, polite, professional and easy to deal with.

Quick, polite, professional and easy to deal with. Was easy to make a claim and I was kept in the loop throughout and got to pick the garage for the repair, giving me some control. Reviewed on: 7th September 2024

Good terms and value

Been with them for a few years now. Auto-Renewals have been competitive. It even went down this year. Reviewed on: 6th September 2024

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

Aviva car insurance policy change

When switching cars, it was really easy to move my policy over to my new vehicle and the customer service assistance was polite and patient on the phone when explaining the process. The policy premium, however, did increase substantially and there was a lack of information on what factors had caused the rise - there could certainly be more transparency in that respect. Reviewed on: 5th September 2024

Decent price for a well known company.

With huge price rises for car insurance this year, I looked to change insurers but wanted the assurance of 5 star quality. Som quotes came from companies that I had never heard of but Aviva consistently came near the the top of comparison website quotes (it makes sense to check a number, the price varied from each one) Completing the application as simple, and the information supplied seemed relatively easy to read and understand.
