Excellent car insurance company

Excellent company that only charges you the amount you drive. No hidden fees. Just plain and simple. You only get charged "By Miles" plus the one off initial fixed payment. Also there is a referral scheme, which contributes generously towards your insurance. Reviewed on: 20th September 2022

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

1
I have been with them for a year+ and believe me they are the worst insurance company I have dealt with in 12 years. When you have to buy a policy from them then it's easy but after sales service is the worst. You can't communicate with them on phone, online chat doesn't work and emails take many days to respond. Moreover, they can take decisions on your policy without any communication and leave you stranded. It's better to get insurance from bigger names. They might be a bit costly but are approachable in case you need them. Reviewed on: 20th September 2022

Everything is a plus !!

Apart from the low initial annual cost paying monthly is a much fairer way of spreading the cost based on usage. Another major plus is the plug-in box acts as a car diagnostics device and also can be used as a car tracking device - everything's a plus !!! Reviewed on: 20th September 2022
