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

OK until renewal

2
OK for first year then went elsewhere as renewal quote was extortionate. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Shocking and disrespectful

1
Someone, who was under the influence of drugs crashed into my car last week, writing it off. My partner contacted Axa and also sent in pictures and evidence of the crash immediately, as asked to do. The crash was on 07/03/22 He called them yesterday 01/04/22 to see what is going on with the claim. THEY HAVE NOT DONE A THING! THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE OTHER INSURANCE. I am so stressed, anxious, waiting for answers so that we can arrange transport to childcare as we have to give the hire car back soon. It has been a long process, my partner has been backwards and forwards with phone calls, to hear nothing back! I hope I will get some kind of compensation and NOT lose my no claims, £400 excess and NO COMPENSATION FOR SOMEONE ELSE WRITING OFF MY CAR! So upset. Shocking customer service. Reviewed on: 1st April 2022

A fraud company just aiming to make money.

1
Beware; A horrible company; i have been an AXA ( Ireland) customer for years paying expensive quotes all these years; Once when got into a minor accident and resulted in some dents on my car wherein no other vehicle/ property was damaged; they sent their engineer and i got informed that the claim is declined as the engineer is not convinced of the incident; Note - I had full comprehensive cover including no claim protection bonus. They go into a conclusion that i was lying and their engineers presumption is correct. Aslo they sent the engineer after almost a month after the incident. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

will not renew if you make a claim

1
I was with them because of their good name, although hardly the cheapest. I had made a claim (after 15 years) and following that they refused to renew my insurance. It was the only thing that had changed in my circumstances in the year, and were the only insurer that would not quote me. They also refused to give me a reason. So happy to take your money, till they have to do their part. Fair weather friends indeed Reviewed on: 2nd February 2022

A disgrace to the UK Insurance industry.

DON'T WAST YOUR MONEY - MORE IMPORTANTLY YOUR TIME. Absolutely terrible insurance company. I have never claimed insurance in my life however have paid for over 25 years... due to this company I will be reviewing all of my policies. During my trip i contacted AXA on the telephone to ensure I was covered for some tooth ache I was experiencing, they explicitly advised that i was covered and i should seek immediate treatment, they even offered to find me a dentist. 2 days after treatment they informed me that I was not covered and should settle the bill my self. Shock horror - and consequently the good part of 2 days I spent mitigating this. Thank goodness I wasn't ran over by a car as I would now be paying medical bills for the rest of my life. Be very very aware of this company. They will ruin your holiday but more importantly they could ruin your life. Reviewed on: 21st December 2020

Great customer service!

The lady I spoke to on the phone was incredibly helpful and explained to me how I could get the best deal for my car insurance. They were upfront and honest and I feel that they are a good company to have trust in. Reviewed on: 18th September 2020
