Good insurance

Aviva Insurance is one of the best as they have lots of experience. Haven't had any problems. Easy to apply and good customer service. Reviewed on: 6th July 2019

Got bored and stopped paying out

2
After a catastrophic flood in the year 2000, the company were at first sympathetic; the assessor visited the house, and authorised the first payments. But after he left the firm, it seems that Aviva got bored with the claim, and refused the final payments, without any reason. Reviewed on: 6th July 2019

impossible to make a damage claim because of Aviva's terms

1
We suffered storm damage last winter, i.e. almost a year ago. Aviva want us to get a full quote for the work before they would process the claim. In order for a company to qive us a quote, they need to erect scaffolding, as that part of the roof is inaccesible any other way. Aviva will not pay up-front for this, we can't afford to pay up-front for scafffolding (cost is over £2,000), so we are stymied. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Amazing customer service

I cannot believe the negative comments on here! I had received a renewal for home insurance from Aviva and was puzzled as I wasn't aware I had a policy with them. However I had had a bad accident on 17th Dec and my brain was fuzzy with morphine so I decided to look into it. I could find no paperwork etc for Aviva and appeared to have taken out a policy with another company in May. I phoned to explain this and spoke to an incredibly understanding and sympathetic young lady called Courtney. After listening to my story she offered to see if her manager could give me a refund from May 2018. I was delighted to hear that s/he had agreed and a cheque would be sent! That in itself made me think I would go to Aviva for a quote in May, but there was even more to come. Two days later I received a most beautiful bouquet by hand delivery! What a lovely surprise! And an even greater surprise was that it was sent by Aviva with lots of good wishes. I think they have a customer for life! Reviewed on: 11th January 2019
