Brought learners car insurance for daughter. Had to cancel as car went brought was faulty and sent back to the garage. Cancelled insurance within 6 days kept £65 of the money. I've asked about the 14 day cooling off period, it doesn't exist. Wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Reviewed on: 7th January 2026

Hidden T&C's - adds £40 when cancelling.

Hidden T&C's - adds £40 when cancelling. There is no website journey & transparency as they claim in their review responses. This company disguises the T&Cs that covers the hidden cancellation elements when the learner driver passes the driving test. They are actually capitalising on the "known- unknown", i.e when a learner driver passes the test. So technically, they sell policies for £250 and you wont get anything back if you pass the test (i.e cancel the learner driver policy) after 4 months. They will levy this fees without refunding any excess term left on the policy. On the outset £250 for a learner policy seems cheap, but there is the hidden catch of £40 on top of it. so consider it as £290. Reviewed on: 23rd October 2025
