I initially went with Darwin insurance and was happy with the quote but just before the insurance was due to start they contacted me and said the quote was incorrect and wanted more money .I was still within my rights to cancel so this is what I did and received a full refund .This is a dirty trick to play and won’t be using either them or anyone associated with Churchill insurance in the future.

I was looking for insurance and Darwin offered the same level of cover for a lower price. The change was very easy.

I tried a few comparison sites and Darwin consistently came out very competitive. I opted fot their gold policy as it was still competitive and provided better cover and was still significantly cheaper than my renewal quote. Very pleased with result. Read more Read less

Looked at other providers on comparison web sites. Some were cheaper but eventually I came to the conclusion that Darwin although a little more expensive were probably the best to go with. Their Trustpilot score was very good again compared to other competitors. Read more Read less

Took out car insurance and only after this did they ask for proof of NCD, and refused to accept my legitimate NCD introducing new rules for NCD, AFTER I've paid. We launched a complaint, contacted them multiple times and they failed to react in their stated timelines every time. They then took more money without my permission! We are still trying to get our money back. Feel like I've been scammed. Read more Read less
