Best insurance company I have been with Reviewed on: 13th October 2022

Friendly and efficient

5
I went for this company as it was the cheapest on price comparison. I had a few queries so called to speak to an adviser. I have had to call them 3 times and on each occasion I got through very quickly and spoke to very friendly and efficient staff. Nothing appeared too much bother. My queries and problems were resolved without any stress or hassle. Reviewed on: 13th October 2022

Hidden £35 Fee for passing test

1
My son paid for twelve months of insurance. He only used 10 months of this before he passed and has made no claims. This insurance is specifically aimed at learner drivers who will cancel as soon as they pass their test. There is no option to continue the insurance with Collingwood but once you let them know you have passed you are liable for a £35 cancellation fine. I am okay with not getting the extra two months refunded because that was a cost we had already accounted for but to try and get £35 for cancelling a policy which will always be cancelled by every learner is unacceptable. Shame on you Collingwood. Reviewed on: 12th October 2022
