Review of the Axa, Car Insurance:

Not impressed

1
They were ok up to a point however they cancelled my policy as soon as i moved address which has put me off ever recommending them. This left me with the inconvenience of finding a new insurer before the end of my premium expiry date with no notice. Upon speaking to adviser I was told they do not insurer cars within my new postcode and therefore my insurance would become invalid from that day onwards and I would need to look elsewhere for cover. Not good. Reviewed on: 4th July 2017

non fault accident claim

1
I had a no-fault accident where another driver reversed into my car. I had just stopped after reversing. All on CCTV. This happened last September( 2022). Had my car repaired 3 months later.. Now into June 2023 and still not further. Axa kept asking me to acept a 50/50 claim ( I refused) only to find out the other driver is also insured with them. I have recieved no up dates nor any calls from AXA. I have had to consistently ring them. Service is absolutely awful and would advise anyone to consider taking out any insurance with this company. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Absolutely seamless service.

After my minor but expensive accident the service was straight forward with no problems. I can't fault my experience with them. Reviewed on: 25th May 2023

Don't make a claim

1
AXA are the worst company to deal with. Stay away if you don't want your mental health destroyed if you make a claim. They have asked for everything including my full medical record from I was born and undermined a extremely qualified GP. Apparently they know better! Months upon months of dealing with an extremely difficult company. They have actually left me sitting shaking today and I wasn't even insured with them it was their driver hit me!!

All that glitters is not gold

1
Setting up the policy was easy. Getting notified of renewal, great. Customer service was awesome until I put in a claim for medical reasons that I couldn’t fly. I put the claim in last year May (2022). The claim is still outstanding. I made a complaint with the Financial Ombudsman, they were forced to pay me for the time the claim has been outstanding. Eleven months later, the claim has now been approved for the payout. (How long will this take, no idea). I share this with you because I don’t want you to make the same horrible mistake. Based on the situation it seemed they were angry to pay out on the claim. The staff became rude and dismissive, even lying about receiving emails. It was a disaster to say the least! Thanks to the Financial Ombudsman team for working with me. Reviewed on: 12th April 2023

Axa's car insurance premium was competitively priced and website easy to use. Cannot comment on claims process as haven't needed to. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

You will never see the money they've promised

1
I was promised over 500 pounds to cover my medical bill almost a year ago...I am still waiting. It is impossible to speak to them via phone, and via email you will get an apology every 2 months with no action. They keep apologising and escalating the issue but I am still waiting.

Axa car insurance claims

1
If you like being passed from pillar to post by various Axa representatives and then spend lengthy waits on their auto call systems. They are for you. My claim is now in its 5th month and still no end in sight and still the buck passing continues. Never again. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2023
