About this product

At Smart Money People, we collect Diamond car insurance reviews from genuine customers to give you some insight into what you can expect as a Diamond policyholder.

Diamond was founded in 1997, specialising in car insurance policies for new female drivers, offering handbag cover and child car seat cover included within its standard policies. Today, Diamond also provides insurance to male drivers, as well as offering a range of insurance products to cover home, travel and landlords.

If handbag cover up to £300 included in Diamond’s standard policies has caught your eye, check out the Diamond car insurance reviews to see what genuine customers have to say about their policies. Perhaps handbag cover isn’t a priority for you, but a low-cost premium is? Or perhaps you want the option of adding legal cover or courtesy car cover to your policy?

Review of the Diamond Insurance, Car Insurance:

Avoid like the plague!

I’ve been with this company for 11 years and they’ve raked up their prices every year. I had an accident that wasn’t my fault last year and their legal team have been appalling! After being quoted double for my renewal, they were very unhelpful and would only offer £20 off per month, which is still more than double most of their competitors. Avoid like the plague! You don’t get what you pay for from this company! Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Expensive renewal

£50 more this year no accidents or points and have reached the grand age of 50 with nil no claims and still a huge increase Reviewed on: 31st August 2017

Car Accident, someone you can rely on x

After a car accident away from home I contacted my insurers Diamond. Within minutes of my call I received a call back from their polite and curteous staff who even although I was in the Scottish Highlands in the middle of nowhere they had a breakdown driver with me extremely quickly who assisted me to get to a local Garage (with all my ids and luggage) in the nearest town. I was also swiftly offered a curtesy car which was fully filled and waiting to allow me to continue to my destination whilst repairs were carried out. I was contacted several more times with frequent updates on the repairs to my car and legal advice also. All in all a very swift and professional company. Reviewed on: 19th August 2017

Avoid at all costs

I had an accident on the 27th of July from the moment I called diamond I had nothing but total inconvenience. The customer service is appalling. Nothing is ever actioned when they say they will. Escalating concerns to managers doesn't resolve any issues you have. When you have to make a claim it is extremely stressful, I've been in floods of tears as I am promised things but nothing is actioned accordingly. This is the last thing you want to be dealing with when you are involved in a car crash and had injurys from that to deal with. No one has ever called me back from he 27th except a manager who called me today 4th Aug at 3pm with more bad news. I have had to call them numerous times a day to be told conflicting information and nothing is ever resolved!!! I was advised my car was total loss on Friday 28th but took them till Wed 2nd of august to be made offer which at first was insulting and the increased it which was still below value and told that nothing more can be done and that was the best offer they could give and I was promised in writing via email and on phone call that day that I will receive payment bia CHAPS by Friday at 12pm. Today Friday 4th Aug morning came nothing in bank so called up to be instructed not to worry payment is processed and I will get it by 12pm. 12pm came no payment I called yet again advised error processing payment at there end and it will be another 48hrs I explained I don't have another 48hrs to wait for this to be resolved. I've taken time off work I've been extremely stressed through the whole process I wanted payment today accounts advised this wasn't possible. I escalated my concerns to various managers through today only one called me back advised nothing more can be done and she will call me on Monday to make sure payment is sent. I expressed my concerns about the customer service I have received throughout the whole process and I will making relevant complaints the duration of this weekend and posting on social media the complaint I have as its appalling. I have a list of call handlers names, I have spoken to on various occasions and each one having to explain my situation. I asked for a copy of all transcripts and communication I have had with the company since last Thursday emailed to me in writhing as I am really unhappy with the service that's been provided!!! I put a deposit down on a car to pay remaining balance this afternoon with my settlement figure which I didn't receive so I have lost out in more money thought the inconvenience of this company!!!!!!!!!.

efficient and easy to communicate with

I've never had any problems with them, they are easy to get hold off. this is all you really want / need from your car insurance! Reviewed on: 3rd August 2017

Really good service!

I have always found the service with Diamond amazing. Caring and kind whenever you speak to them. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2017

Unfair

Not very understanding when get into financial trouble. I had an unexpected expense that meant I couldn't pay my insurance until the following week and was told I'd need to pay the money (they even told me to borrow from friends or family) otherwise my insurance would be cancelled and I wouldn't be covered. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2017

Claim issue

I had a minor crash in March which was my fault, the company are lovely but did not liase with the third party very well at first, I have had no more third party letters so I think all is ok but I have still not had any confirmation that the claim has been settled which would be nice to put my mind at rest. Reviewed on: 27th July 2017

Really helpful

I've been with Diamond for two years and in that time I had to make a claim when someone hit my car. Diamond arranged eveything very quickly, including a courtesy car, and I was very imresssed with how helpful they were. Reviewed on: 21st July 2017
