This is a terrible company its taken nearly 3 yrs and still not complete. They owed me thousands of pounds for hotel money that took ages to get back that nearly bankrupted me . The works they did have been disgusting and I have had an independent surveyor in who gave a bad report and recommended that the work be redone and they have ignored it so I'm now in the process of complaining to the Ombudsman and taking them to court for the costs of redoing the works up to standard and finishing the half completed works.
If I could give minus stars I would.

I have insured both our cats with coop. Never made a claim in 11 years as both cats healthy. When my older cat suddenly fell ill and ultimately had to be euthanised, I sent in a claim at the end of November but still not settled a month later despite answering their one query on Dec 3rd.! Nobody has a definitive answer why and you can’t contact the assessor. Very poor service and very upsetting. Stay well clear

If I could put negative stars on this post I would. DO NOT use them they are a rip off. I placed a claim after a vehicle accident which wrote off my car just to be told that my insurance was void because even though the V5 had been changed to state a colour change had been done to the car I had not informed them when I took out the policy( mid July during the first lockdown) then went to customer relations to deal to be told the same rubbish by a company yes man. So no going to financial ombudsman for mediation. Don't use them they are diabolical.

UNHELPFUL DURING COVID 19 Been with co - op 4 years plus. Paid monthlydirect debit installments. Because my pay dates changed and had to start paying at a different point in the month . They wanted two payments in one month ,because I couldn't financially do this my insurance has been swopped to annual payment up front . Direct debit was more suitable for a single mom bringing in one wage . Don't trust them .

As a member of the co-operative I was given a good discount when I first insured my car and over the years It's been with no claim discount.

My car was written off after the floods in Yorkshire last year. Co-op Eco Insurance paid out on the claim no problem, and everything was handled very well. However...

Co-op eco insurance only has ONE underwriter, and they decided they wouldn't insure my new car. I was forced to take out another policy with a good insurer, and when I called to cancel the policy, I was told that because no-one else was involved, the floods were my fault! (I also control the wind, fire, and other natural elements).

As river's overflowing were MY fault and they paid out, they are now forcing me to pay the remaining time left on the policy. They were happy to move the policy to another car they would insure, but because they wouldn't insure my new car, they're making me pay.

I would highly recommend them when things are going good, but we all buy car insurance for the times when things are going bad - that's where they are pathetic.

Do not put yourself through it because a meerkat told you too. Co-op Eco Insurance will cost you. Not recommended at all, and very disappointed.

Then tried charging me £90 for remainder of my policy on a car they had written off? including the cancellation fee? and would not admit they were the ones cancelling my policy as they would not insure my new car!
Disgraceful thieves managed to get this reduced to £50 and their excuse was they had to recoup their losses!!! Will avoid like the plague all their companies in future, shops, insurance and funeral AVOID AVOID AVOID

Good pet insurance

This insurance offered us the best options and cover out of the few we looked at, as it covers any damage the pet does to others as well as to itself unlike most

The Co-op were fantastic when a flood trashed part of my flat. They visited promptly and arranged payment quickly so that I was able to replace my damaged belongings and redecorate.

The worst car insurance in the UK !!!

I am awaiting my excess back for over 5 months. All the information needed was provided on my part. The other party took it to court and was found guilty, the case is closed, liability determined by court, but I still don't have my money back.
I called Aviva and found out that they are also awaiting some information, but Coop never spoke to them in the last 4 months hence being chased Aviva on daily basis.

I am a victim but I can not get my money back.
You all avoid this Co-Op Insurance Company!!!

Insured 3.0 SD V6 SE auto 2019 Discovery with co-op eco insurance, by amending my policy from previous Discovery. Policy emailed to me - referred to the new car ( same model description as above ) as 255bhp. I tried explaining to co-op that the car is 306bhp - no such thing as 255bhp. They said they couldn’t insure me on a 306 bhp - like talking to a brick. I gave up cancelled and got cheaper elsewhere. I’d have been driving uninsured on a non existent car according to the ‘advisor’
