About this product

Here at Smart Money People, we collect Churchill car insurance reviews to give you some insight into what you can expect as a Churchill customer.

Churchill was founded in 1989 as one of the UK’s first direct motor insurers. Since then, it has expanded its range of products, now offering a wide variety of insurance policies, from pet insurance to landlord insurance. Churchill offers car and van insurance, as well as specialist policies for young drivers and a telematics policy named DriveSure.

Everyone has different needs when it comes to a car insurance policy. Perhaps you’re happy to pay slightly extra to protect your No Claims Discount? Or maybe you require breakdown cover or legal protection? If you’re looking to save money on your renewal, Churchill’s DriveSure telematics policy may be worth considering.

Review of the Churchill Insurance, Car Insurance:

Average and expensive!

Very high prices for car insurance and large cost to make amendments to my policy (change car/leave) spend a long time on hold trying to get through!! Reviewed on: 7th July 2020

dont waste your time get other quote you will get better deal

£70.00 to cancel my car insurance of no fault of mine 1.45 hours waiting on a call to talk to someone after third party fault give dog a good kick up the back side Reviewed on: 6th April 2022

Negotiated a great deal on renewal

I received my renewal which was about £12 dear than last year. So I went on a comparison site then phoned Churchill. In the end I managed to save over £40 compared with the previous year. Just £176 on a Mercedes SL320 convertible for 12 months. Reviewed on: 12th September 2021

Excellent service

Great customer service, easy to use website, staff always happy to help and good value Reviewed on: 18th August 2021

Shocking call centre agents.

Churchill Direct are terrible. It took three calls to get a recovery truck after my car was in accident. It took a further week for an engineer to visit my car before repairs could begin and the service agents were not great either. Avoid Direct Line or Churchill. Churchill also left my father in law broken down despite his roadside assistance with Churchill for 2.5 hours on a main London motorway. Reviewed on: 18th August 2021

Absolute Scam

Absolute scam, I called up in may to cancel my policy because the car didn't work and I planned on scrapping it. Whoever I spoke to did not do their job. I came back to Churchill with my new car, they didn't mention that I still had a policy open with them. A month later I have two lots of money coming out of my account from them. They won't refund because of their incompetent staff showed no record of cancelling way back in may. Reviewed on: 12th August 2021

Where are my documents?

Payment was taken 20/05/21 but 10 days later I have still not received my policy documents. When I try and call, I only get to speak to some agents who is incapable of doing anything worthwhile. Reviewed on: 29th May 2021

Charge for everything

They charged me for everything... charging me £53 when my policy was expiring next month, £13 pounds to change an address online. Absolutely ridiculous, especially when I have done the same with my other car (insured with AXA, everything for free)!! Worst insurance ever and I will never go through Churchill again! Reviewed on: 12th April 2021

Average

Hiked price £70 as they all do , so went with AXA Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Awful

Absolutely dreadful, cancelled my policy due to one missed historical payment. Took the most recent payment so I assumed I was covered. Turns out I wasn’t, 6 points on my driving licence from a random stop. They sent a letter to confirm cancellation. I didn’t get it because I was away for work. No phone call or email to chase, or warn that I would be uncovered. I was driving for two weeks without insurance. Very glad I didn’t have an incident in that time. The customer service were appalling and didn’t care. Wouldn’t reinstate the policy either. Avoid this shower of insurance excrement. Reviewed on: 4th December 2020

Car insurance renewal up 31% with no change of circumstance. Simply wrong!

Car insurance renewal up 31% on last year's premium. Nothing has changed apart from non claims up 1 year from 10 to 11 years. I called Churchill about this but the operative could not explain why. Disgraceful when RPI is 1.19% and many of use have not been driving during lockdown etc. so claims must be down. I thought this practice of heavy renewal uplifts that penalise loyalty had stopped - clearly not. Reviewed on: 18th September 2020
