Nightmare

1
Nightmare! I had what it seems like an obvious case of the other driver being at fault: hitting me in the back from a side road. I submitted all the info and the details of the other driver and their insurance and waited for the resolution. 4.5 months later and still zero real action on my claim, allegedly it is 'with solicitors', but it seems like they haven't even reached out to the insurer of the driver at fault (which they admitted 2.5 months ago). Due to ongoing claim I couldn't replace them with a different insurer for a reasonable price and had to pay £600 excess to get my car fixed. Avoid them! Reviewed on: 14th August 2023

The "Whish" of all car insurance companies

1
A NIGHTMARE! My car had light damage and scratches and they found it as a write-off without even communicating this to me. Every time you want to get hold of someone so you can ask about your claim you have to wait hours on end just for someone to answer and when they do they tell you it's a different department and give you endless apologies. It's been 2 weeks since my car accident and I have days when they don't even answer the phone. I asked for a callback and it never came. Don't put your hopes up to get a courtesy car, it's never going to happen even if you had it on your insurance policy. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

Complete Rip Off

1
Took out a policy with this company. A week later I received an email telling me I had to install a black box. I've been driving for 20 years so no need for this. I was then told that my policy would cost 50% more without said black box. Cancelled policy within 14 days but they still debited my account as they disputed the cancellation saying that it had not been done. This company is totally unethical using a call centre in India for customer services. They still argued that in my call I had not cancelled. Luckily for me I had kept a transcript of my call to cancel. Nevertheless it still cost me £102.51 to cancel. I wish I had read the reviews before taking out their policy. Absolute thieves Reviewed on: 11th June 2022
