Review of the Churchill Insurance, Car insurance:

Out of my 6 years of driving I will never ever be go...

1
Out of my 6 years of driving I will never ever be going back to Churchill let me run this down for you started with the company from July were now in November I've rang up 5 times over the last 4 months for them to tell me they have a IT problem and they will ring me back never heard nothing back decided to ring back for the last time In this November for them to tell me there's a defect with my insurance. After already taking a payment off me they then tell me they need to cancel my insurance start a new one and take another payment again in the same month with no refund after all I wanted was my no claims discount protecting adding on which I already added on from the start then once the insurance started they decided it wasn't protected after 4 months of IT issues they tell me oh we can now add protected no claims that they also confirmed I put it on in the first place to also say sorry for the amount of times ive called and no call back for them to turn around and say yes we can add it but need to cancel and take another payment with just a sorry. That's my last time using this company and stay away never had a issue with anyone else apart from these shocking Reviewed on: 21st November 2024

Diabolical Customer Service.

1
Terrible service, which uses multiple agencies / companies, with foreign call centre staff to process your claim. I waited for the engineer to phone me at the appointed time to discuss my vehicle value and condition, and he did not call and missed the appointment. I complained and they still did not call. I then received an email from the car hire Company saying that my claim was concluded and they were coming to collect my hire car. (Which arrived filthy dirty). I still have not received a payment and no call . I have had to chase and chase to get anywhere and I am still waiting for a pay-out over two weeks later. I am not at fault for the accident and the vehicle was declared a total loss after 24 hours so I don't understand why I am still waiting for my payment. I conclude that they are making excessive money in claiming £ 206.00 per day for a 999cc hire car from the other side insurers. They are a diabolical company to deal with, and I will never consider them again. There service has massively added to the stress of having a claim as if the accident is stressful enough, only to then have to deal with such poor customer service and then have to orchestrate your own claim.

AVOID CHURCHILL INSURANCE .

1
Fully comprehensive insurance no fault accident, no calls, no courtesy car, call center staff in Asia that hang up rather than get involved. I now have no car, have lost work/employment, have injuries & yet there's nothing from Churchill Insurance Company . The most horrific experience of my life dealing with these people.

Churchill: dishonest verging on fraudulent!.

1
Masters of time-wasting and delay tactics to make you want to go away and not bother them anymore. Everyone you speak to at Churchill tells of how they are constrained to not help you because of their systems or procedures - transferring you to the wrong departments to waste more time. Or hiding behind "we'll look into it and get back to you in 2-3 working days". Fraudulent in that they clearly state access to a "Courtesy Car" on the policy only for you to be told you're not! Today, they wasted so much of the day trying to organise a hire car that by the time it got to mid-afternoon and they'd sorted one, it was too late to deliver it until tomorrow when I needed it. Oh, and that was after they didn't organise one yesterday because no one called me back. If you take a policy with Churchill and need to make a claim, be prepared to get very frustrated, angry and stressed out that an organisation can be so incompetent in this day and age!

Useless

1
Cancelled my insurance on my car as I had sold the car. Rang them and everything was ok. Then I saw they had taken money from my bank. I tried to ring them but after half an hour I gave up. Live chat was no help. I sent them an email. But they deducted another amount from my bank. So I cancelled direct debit. Now they want past 2 month’s payment. This company is a joke. You cannot get in touch with anyone to explain. I would avoid this company at all costs Reviewed on: 18th December 2023

Churchill are the absolute worst

1
They recovered my car after a smashed window and then asked that I collected it from a location. I found that it wasn’t at the location when I arrived and now I am without my car for another week. I have a disabled relative whom I can’t transport due to their mistake (they even acknowledged they had made it) but they have refused to do anything to rectify it. I am seeking legal action with a solicitor for damages. Shop elsewhere for insurance, please be warned!! Reviewed on: 14th December 2023

used to be good virtual chat is awful

1
You ask a question, there is never an answer, the answer is usually not what i asked, spent four hours this week , its like the staff just press automatic generic replies Reviewed on: 20th November 2023

Rubbish service

1
Although not at fault, I've had to pay an excess which after 3 months has still not been refunded. They outsource the repair and courtesy car, and now I've bee contacted by the car hire company for the same information (again) so they can claim their costs back. Apparently I may be liable even though the car provided is part of the insurance. I've been with Churchill for over 20 years and can't believe how awful they've become, no customer service at all. I will definitely not be renewing. Reviewed on: 18th November 2023

Car insurance claim. Not my fault

1
Existing claim for over a year. Customer service is appalling. Noone ever gets in touch even though they promise too Reviewed on: 16th October 2023

No loyalty shown to existing customers

2
I am due for renewal and was shocked to see a 67% increase, on top of this I have unfortunately had to add 3 points for speeding which took the policy way off the Richter scale to a 200% increase. I’ve never claimed and in fact felt the guy I spoke to didn’t really care and was not interested in my custom. Suffice to say I will never use this company again. Reviewed on: 3rd October 2023
