Avoid at all costs - scammers They will scam you with cancellation fees when you pass your test rather than just leaving the policy to expire with no coverage. Morally vulgar, they... Read more Reviewed on: 7th August 2026

SCAMMERS

1
When cancelling policy and expecting a small refund we were hit with extra charges which they claim (falsely) are clear at policy start. They hide behind "small print" and are unreasonable to deal with. See all the Google reviews from other customers who have had the same experience. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Colingwood Learner Driver insurance

2
Beware the small print as noted by others they sneakily apply a £35 cancellation fee after you pass your test and force the policy to be cancelled despite paying in full for 12 months and only using 8 months, I paid full 12 month fee plus cancellation fee. This is not very transparent on their website. Reviewed on: 14th June 2022

Look elsewhere

1
Not a bad company UNTIL you pass. No refund then a £25 charge. Emails, Text & phone calls from them in a slightly menacing manner 1 day after cancellation of policy to collect said £25. Read small print or don’t cancel policy. Better still AVOID Reviewed on: 13th May 2022

Watch out for the fees added on when you pass

1
Price looks good when you take the policy, just a warning for the charges they will pile on at the end just because you pass, they also cancelled the policy against my request leaving the named driver uninsured and unable to drive the car home. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2022

Feel cheated for success

1
Took out an insurance policy for my daughter - paid in full - she passed 8 months later - her reward rather than a refund was to charge me an extra £35 admin fee to cancel the refund and no refund of the policy premium Absolute rubbish, I discussed this when buying the premium and was told I would not get a full refund of when she passed but a percentage- they are now saying as I’ve used 2 3rds of the policy rather than a 33% refund I will get a 10% and a £36 charge meaning I owe them £17 My advice Do not use this company !!!!!!!!!
