Superb service Offered a very competitive renewal price, and was able to improve on that more when contacted by phone Reviewed on: 9th September 2025

Not recommended It is simple, they have a bad customer service and do not like making any payments. Not my idea of what should be. Not recommended at all Reviewed on: 1st December 2025

AVOID at all costs

1
AVOID AT ALL COST! If I could put 0 stars I would, I don’t even know how to describe these cowboys!!! It was easy to take the insurance out, they were quick to take the money, but… oh my, oh my, not sure where to start! So had a minor accident, I mean literally a small bump, which resulted in cracked bumper, called to make a claim, over an hour waiting time on phone! Lady picked up and took all the details, said that my car will be picked up by 3rd party company for valuation, they will decide if it’s repairable, total loss etc, explained that I will have to pay £250 excess once it goes for repairs. I’ve asked when I can get a courtesy car, which she has responded that garage will have to give me courtesy car when it will go for repairs. I have arranged a pick up, driver came and said that it could take up to 10 days to validate the car as they are quite busy, ok, so this means that I will potentially be without car for 10 days! So I decided to call insurance to ask for courtesy car earlier as it makes no sense. It turned out that the person who took my call, put this down as total loss, my car is 7 years old with cracked bumper (worth £8k), like seriously!!! Clearly they are fraud at the finest as policy documents state that in event of total loss they don’t have to provide with a courtesy car! When I have questioned this, the 2nd person on phone said that she’s not an engineer and can’t make a decision whets at total loss and what isn’t! But hers colleague was making that decision without seeing a damage on car!!!!! I was advised that this will have to go down as a complaint and manager will get in touch with me, I’m waiting for that to happen! AVOID, you will do yourself a favour!!!!!!

Lied to on numerous occasions,

1
They wrote my car off and told me 2 weeks later when I traced it to York at an auction site still full of my possessions then they demanded I pay them insurance for a year on a car they own. Nobody takes responsibility and they keep you on line whilst they pass you about. Unfortunately I cannot say anything positive about them Reviewed on: 8th October 2021

Unsympathetic Staff

1
Discusting attitude of Staff at Esure. No Sympathy at all. On behalf of my Parents of which my Father is Terminally ill with Cancer and can't speak, my Mother tried to cancel the Policy and even though Her bank card details are what the Monthly payments come out from, they said they will not Cancel over the phone as they need my Father to cancel Policy by just saying Yes to cancel on the phone, how Pathetic, anyone could put the voice on, so all because of a few months backdate, they want me to carry on the Policy until next year, but I have a new policy set up with someone else luckily. All because of around £50 backdate. They want me to carry it on now I have inherited the car from my father basically and then they think come next year I would carry on the Policy. Your having a laugh. I would not Recommend Esure to anyone as they are a very Unsympathetic company, just Pathetic comes to mind. Reviewed on: 8th September 2021
