New premium twice as much

First year was good price, renewal price was double, no claims made.. had to go elsewhere Loyalty means nothing these days Reviewed on: 24th July 2023

No customer service

1
Recorded a fualt claim even though third party admitted liability and an email from esure but they can't answer why this has happened . Call center in South Africa which never answer the phone Reviewed on: 20th July 2023

Beyond belief poor service

1
Terrible company, took my money for 17 years ( no claims), then cancelled my policy with no explanation. South African call center that keeps hanging on for 20 mins , then hang up. They don't reply to emails , basically left me with no insurance , no refunds, no correspondence, no customer service, just a appalling company. They need to be investigated, going to the financial ombudsman next to try to get some sense of it all . What a way to treat people , beyond belief they can trade like this ! Reviewed on: 19th July 2023

Customer service a joke

1
I agree with most of these reviews you are sitting on hold for over 45 minutes & then all of sudden cut off & have to ring again. Never answer any emails, there chat bot is robot & just tells you to go online doesn't recognize claim ref, names wanting to speak to someone. Even though received an email advising someone making claim against me phoned up to find what, when & who didn't know anything & tried to register claim from me/my side. After 30mins hung up. 2nd time got through to claims nice lady found wrote notes found claim & after 20mins said need to speak to 3rd party tried to transfer & after 1 minute hung up. They advised a mechanic needs to see damage to car & costs for repairs for non existent accident. But when eventually got through to only work Monday - Friday no weekends, 10am - 4pm & don't tell you when coming till day as busy & can't book in what kind of business is that. Don't expect you to work & if like me for NHS can't just leave drop hat & pull car out on street in city center. No one has called or responded to me. Useless. Reviewed on: 15th July 2023

Uncontainable esure

1
I was involved in an accident February 2022 Here I am 17 months later and still not resolved Was asked 11 months ago if willing to go to court to claim 3rd party I said yes Heard nothing since Don’t respond to emails There live online chat is a robot no use And customer service don’t answer calls was on hold waiting to speak to them for 1.45 minutes no response Avoid like the plague Reviewed on: 10th July 2023

Rip off car insurance

1
This company auto renewed my car insurance after I had cancelled but I didn’t realise until a year later, tried to get my money back and was told I could only have half, you can’t get through to customer service because they have that many complaining customers trying to get through , please avoid like the plague, totally incompetent people, please avoid. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THIS COMPANY

1
Despite making a complaint 14 days ago, and spending FOUR AND A HALF HOURS on the phone, calling daily to try and sort a claim that a member of staff should not have been put down as a claim, I am STILL WAITING for a manager to call me. I cant tell you how many times I have been told over the past two weeks that "we will call you straight back" or "we will call by 3pm". My next step is calling the Financial Ombudsman if they have not resolved this by 3pm today. Reviewed on: 5th July 2023

Avoid at all costs

1
Absolutely shoddy poor service , someone tried to fraudulent claim on my insurance, and then got told.if I don't respond in 30 days the claim will be on my insurance . I called everyday for 2 weeks and no one knew what was going on, I was on hold for 1 hour calls at a time , and then they just started the process again . DO NOT Insure with this company especially its so stressful and my situation is still unresolved . Reviewed on: 30th June 2023

Think twice before you choose them.

1
They might be cheaper than other company but think twice. Had a car accident, someone hit me from the back, they decided not to repair my car but to pay me back. I have to call them every week to send the check, they always say today or tomorrow but they never did. When they say they will call you back they won't. Reviewed on: 29th June 2023

Avoid Esure like the plague

1
I have found it impossible to speak to someone at Esure about a claim. When you phone them you go from one recorded message to another. When you eventually get through to a live human being, tell them you want the claims department and that under no circumstances to put you through to a recorded message - guess what, they put you through to a recorded message. Esure should not be allowed to operate as an insurance company. I'd give them a minus score if possible. Reviewed on: 27th June 2023
