Review of the Aviva, Home Insurance:

Super easy and helpful!

We recently took out home insurance with them, the process was super easy and their customer service was excellent, a rarity these days! Reviewed on: 19th September 2020

Excellent Service

On the very few times we have had a reason to claim the service we have received has been second to none and with us having more than one policy with this company we get a reduction in our premiums .. Unbeatable! Reviewed on: 16th July 2017

5* service

Chuffed gave me discount when mentioned online competitors also they give unlimited cover(usually 75k contents) & 60 days if home not occupied (most usually 30) also water cover standard (usually extra charge with competitors?) Reviewed on: 4th July 2017

Reasonable and reliable

I use the online Aviva site to keep all of my Aviva policies together, it works well. Reviewed on: 4th July 2017

alternative accomodation

I had an alternative accommodation cover for £50,000. Paid my parents £14.28 a day to stay with them for 4 weeks. Then paid £1000 for a caravan which I lived in for 6 months. They told me paying a £1000 for a caravan was generous. I then persuaded them to pay for a better caravan for £22000. Now they want me to buy back the caravan from them for £15000 before I have a house to live in. Reviewed on: 21st March 2017

MaxYourMoney - discounts for people with multiple products

We have our life, home and motor insurance with Aviva and we get an additional discount by holding all these insurances with them. I still shop around each year but they often still work out the best price too. By renewing online, they give a further discount so it's a great way to #MaxYourMoney Reviewed on: 20th March 2017

Sneaky, hidden clauses,

Having paid a very expensive premium and specified jewellery when house was broken into with alarm on they declined claim because the jewellery wasn't in a safe They employ OSG who went to great lengths to uncover any thing they could so they could decline Reviewed on: 23rd January 2017

Will not recomend to any one.

Too many bad experiences and declines. Reviewed on: 16th January 2017

Rip off!

I have paid for 5* cover for more than 20 years and in all this time I have been unable to make a single claim. There is a always a clause/reason on their part every time I have applied for not being eligible to. They send out a booklet out with very basic information / details about the claims process. Additionaly they charge a very expensive administration fee of (£23.75) for no changes to the policy, and for giving them your service & renewing your policy annually. This is mandatory even without any changes to your policy/paper work. A big mistake & very costly to me at a stressful time when I needed help. Reviewed on: 16th January 2017

Good value

We got a quote online for our flat, contents only, which was significantly less than other quotations we had found. It was easy to quote though our walls are not standard construction and I did find it difficult to find anyone in aviva who seemed to understand the statement of fact. Not needed to claim yet so I suppose time will tell if any good Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Good cover, good price, helpful staff.

I review home insurance every year and have been happy enough with the product and service provided by Aviva that I have stuck with them for a few years now. The paperwork is clear and I've been happy when dealing with them on the phone to discuss renewals. I have no experience of their claims process. Reviewed on: 24th December 2016
