Review of the AXA, Car insurance:

Good for the first year

4
As with all insurance companies Axa lure you in at the outset with a reasonable quote for car insurance, then at renewal that reasonable price is hiked considerably. Having said that we needed to add an additional driver for a weeks holiday and it was very quick and easy to do, and judging by the research I did, at reasonable cost too. Easy to view all documents on line plus plenty of reminders via text and email. Surprisingly easy to cancel too, I expected a phone call and hard sell but I cancelled the renewal quote online. I've no idea what they are like in a crisis, which is the real test. Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

Great at the start !

Great company at the start when taking your money. So easy and straightforward. Them if you need to claim they are utterly useless. Hours spent on the phone which you get disconnected after 30 mins without speaking to anyone. I've been without a vehicle for 2 weeks and still no end in sight on when it will be repaired or the courtesy vehicle which was happily discussed when I bought the policy. Come on AXA. I went with you guys again because you had a great name in the business. I so wish I had gone elsewhere ! Reviewed on: 28th November 2022

Liars - and you have to wait 3 hours to get thru to speak to liars

1
Flat out lied during a claim. They got found out lying, but good luck speaking to anyone. An absolute embrassment of a company. If you ever actually need the product you're paying for they are elusive in the extreme. An absolute racket. Reviewed on: 25th November 2022

Disgusting

We were hit in the rear wheel on a roundabout, they made us lose. They didn’t fight our case or investigate the evidence provided, what’s the point of paying hard earned money to a company won’t protect you, stay away be warned !! Reviewed on: 24th October 2022

I got a covered well by AXA on my travel abroad with family Reviewed on: 15th October 2022

Shocking lack of communication!!!

1
Went to renew my insurance only to discover a claim had been claimed against me, settled and closed. A claim I had no idea was even still going on. I had informed the insurance company last year that they may get a call as I had reversed into a car (very slowly) in a car park with witnesses, which had broken 3 slats on the front plastic grill of the car I hit. Which I had offered to pay for the damage to as on looking online at a new grill it would've been around £100 for a brand new one, the other driver said he'd get back to me. roll on 8 months for my renewal. turns out (without a call or email, letter or anything) they proceeded with the claim and paid out £2,152.52 ! If you end up in a bump hopefully the car you hit is insured by AXA. It seems to me they will pay out whatever it is you want to claim for, and do it all without informing their customer or gathering any evidence. SHOCKING !! Reviewed on: 6th October 2022

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

1
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

1
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
