Review of the Axa, Car Insurance:

So so but ok

Quite expensive but well known. Not had to claim yet but easy to change details and add people to policy etc Reviewed on: 4th July 2017

Impossible to contact

Renewal premium went up by a very large amount. £280 to £480. I tried many times to speak about this but as always they were experiencing “high volumes of calls” nothing to do with being under staffed! After a week of calling I gave up. Then it was a nightmare to stop them automatically taking my money from bank account at renewal.. I eventually worked out how to do this. And went else where. £200 cheaper. I then got e mail saying sorry you left us. I replied, maybe would not if i could speak to someone. No reply!!!!! Tgats my experience. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Car Insurance Renewal SHOCK

I received a renewal notice from my present car insurers and was absolutely dumbfounded !! From just over £400 last year to over £2,000 this year. I queried this but was informed that it was correct. I searched on line and looked at several other options and decided on AXA as, although they were not the cheapest, the package they offered was the best value package by far, and for two thirds less than my present insurer with whom I had been with for several years. I am now looking into AXA's health insurance offers which so far look very promising. I am extremely happy with this insurance company and would definitely recommend them to my family, friends and colleagues. Reviewed on: 14th August 2023

An Unreliable, Slow, and Inept company

Recently I had the misfortune of relying on AXA Travel Insurance for a trip, and my experience with their services has been nothing short of abysmal. I strongly advise against choosing AXA Travel Insurance for your travel needs due to their unreliability, sluggishness, ineptitude, and overall uselessness. First, their investigation process is a never-ending saga that seems designed to test one's patience. When I had to file a claim, I expected a timely and efficient resolution. However, AXA proved to be anything but efficient. The process has dragged on (and on) for an unreasonable amount of time, causing me unnecessary stress and anxiety. Their total disregard for customer needs was simply disheartening. The sporadic contact from AXA throughout the investigation was beyond frustrating. I constantly found myself waiting for updates, only to receive minimal information, a request for more details that could have been requested since the beginning of the process, or no response at all. It felt like I was being left in the dark, uncertain of the progress or outcome of my claim. In the end, dealing with AXA Travel Insurance has proven to be a hassle that is not worth the time, effort, or money. Their slow and unreliable service and ineptitude and lack of communication have left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. I had expected a reliable and reputable insurance provider, but I got an agonizing experience that I would never want anyone else to go through. I cannot stress enough how strongly I discourage anyone from them, just save yourself the headache and find a more reputable insurance provider that values your time and well-being.

6 reasons I won't use AXA again

Mind numbingly dull, yet excruciating, AXA’s on hold music is by far the worst I have ever heard. I recently made a straight forward car insurance claim and so far there has been: 11 phone calls. 7 unanswered emails. 5 texts, letters and emails from AXA containing false information. 3 times AXA promised to make the payment within 24 hours, but did not. 25 days since the accident and still I haven't received any payment. And that music, AXA, please, please make it stop. Reviewed on: 6th June 2023

non fault accident claim

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

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!! Reviewed on: 15th May 2023

All that glitters is not gold

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
