Absolute Ripoff Absolute ripoff, cancelled a policy and it cost 25% of the whole years premium. Wouldn't use Brightside ever again, not even if they were the cheapest... Read more Reviewed on: 23rd June 2023

Fantastic and easy to do online

It was a very easy process to do and easy to download the documents to sign. I am very satisfied with your company as everything is very well explained in the emails and documents. Will recommend you to my family and friends. Reviewed on: 13th July 2017

Car Insurance - as painless as it gets

4
Once the awful, time consuming and stressful experience of navigating the comparison sites, traditional brokers and direct contact with insurance companies was over Brightside have been a delight to deal with, without intrusive up-selling attempts by text and email perpetrated by other companies. We will see how we stand in a year! Reviewed on: 13th July 2017

no bells and whistles. read the small print . once they got your custom they will charge this and that if you make changes and claims so hope not use them. Reviewed on: 13th July 2017

Quick, simple service

Renewal was simple to do over the phone. Main increase in premiums due to the hike of Insurance Tax to 12%. The recovery cover is with the RAC and as a disabled driver, I've found the AA or RAC to be the best bets. Reviewed on: 13th July 2017

Too many emails/ not enough human contacthe!

2
Initially very pleased with the service, friendly advisor but then went downhill! I explained I was going away on holiday and wouldn't be able to sign any paperwork until my return but while I was away I was constantly bombarded with emails about my insurance cover, I explained again I was away but I still kept getting them, all I needed to know was that I was covered! Trying to ring them was a total nightmare even when I was put through directly, 15mins+ I was holding on, not just once but 3 times! Iveven only been insured for just under a week and I already can't wait to renew next year-with someone else! Reviewed on: 13th July 2017
