Review of the Axa, Car Insurance:

Not impressed

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

Great multi-car discount

Shopping around for insurance for our second car and realised AXA provided 25% off for additional vehicles, they were already competitive but this saving beat the competition hands down. Reviewed on: 28th September 2022

Horrendous communication

I had an accident in august and before even witness statements had been received or sketches they closed it not in my favour. Can’t get hold of them on the phone if you work Monday to Friday as they close at 5 and I was routinely 130+ in the queue. Told me to contact via social media to be told no you can’t speak to us as you used a broker. Used the contact me form on the 28th august still had nothing back. Used the email address on the letters same week still had nothing back. Absolutely the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with. Reviewed on: 21st September 2022

Easy to deal with

It is so easy to take insurance out with them, as well as to manage online and renew when needed. Everything is done so quick Reviewed on: 13th September 2022

WARNING!!!!! DO NOT USE AXA CAR INSURANCE

WARNING!!!!! DO NOT USE AXA CAR INSURANCE I have had Covid for the last 2 months. I am self employed and have not been able to work some days of the month. I was 1 day late with my car insurance payment today but they would not accept payment and said they will cancel my insurance. I explained to a manager I have been suffering from Covid but they did not care? It was my last payment for the year and I would have 2 months left of car insurance. I would not recommend you use this company. Reviewed on: 17th August 2022

Using sub standard garage for repairs with problem outstanding after 15 months

Our catalytic converter was stolen from our Honda Civiv Hybrid in May 2021. Their response was prompt but the garage installed a sub standard catalytic converter which was too big and kept hitting the bumps. After complaining they removed the casing, which meant the catalytic converter was exposed to the elements. After we complained they installed another one, but this time the car was very noisy. All these took weeks. We took the car to Honda garage who said the catalytic converter does not have the silencer part and is incorrect. After months of complaining to Axa and the Ombudsman, the garage agreed to have a look again. That was a complete waste of time as the garage manager refused to acknowledge there was anything wrong and kept saying the noise is from the engine, which is not true as it clearly comes from the exhaust. So our very quiet car sounds like a diesel car and no one is doing anything about it. I did not renew with Axa as premium was £300 more than other companies. If the insurance companies all going to go for cheap options when it comes to repairs, I rather go for cheaper premiums. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2022

Abandoned by roadside with no transport.

We are Brits living in France and have AXA International cover, which includes recovery and transport if required. We came over to England to see our son. The clutch went on the ramp in the ferry. We were towed off in Newhaven. (DFDS were brilliant.) We had already alerted the insurer and were told a tow truck would meet us and recover the vehicle and to get back to them to firm up a hire car to take us onward. (We were going to Staffordshire) while our car was being fixed. The tow truck took the vehicle just after 3 pm. We went into the terminal with all our luggage. Despite many phone calls, we got no answers. So-called 24 hour numbers didn't respond. Mostly because we couldn't get them to answer the phone. We tried UK AXA and they then got us in touch with someone at the French end. She promised that she would find some kind of solution because we couldn't just be left stranded. (We didn't even have our own car to stay in.) She said she would definitely get back to us and never did. Close of business came and went. We struggled to find a hotel vacancy which we managed after a lot of trouble. Absolutely deplorable. Suppose I had been on my own and not with my husband? It doesn't bear thinking about.

There is NO service here !

I was with Axa for around 7 years - paying over the odds (my fault) for car insurance with bells on ! Thought it was all good but clearly had not needed to use their actual “Car insurance service” (I think that why I was paying them !! ) When someone hit the back of my car and drive off - I was quick to get the reg number, a witness, and a crime number from the police . After two years of chasing this case up with Axa, so unbelievably maddening, who had clearly done nothing every time I rang to get an update, they finally told me after chasing them too much that they were closing the case because the guy who did it said “it wasn’t him” - over the phone !! It’s been the most deeply frustrating 2 years. I would not recommend these fools - in fact I would run away. I have now finished my term with them and will NEVER use then again. Truly appalling no service at all. Ps if you ever hit someone else - just drive away … say it wasn’t you - chances are if Axa is the insurance company you get away with it - ffs ! What a useless system £3500 I had to pay out and my insurance went up by £200 Thanks for that Reviewed on: 14th April 2022
