Review of the Esure, Car Insurance:

A mediocre insurance company

Luckily we haven't had to claim yet, but they are mediocre. I hate at renewal where they charge more, but then when you phone them they can get the renewal less. Why not do that in the first place to keep customers loyal? Reviewed on: 15th June 2024

worst company don't ever insure with this insurance payed out a fake claim to a uber driver and now I have a claim on my policy , did not contact me about a claim and just payed out, please don't ever insure with this company. Also have tried months to get in contact with this company and they never answer. DO NOT GIVE THEM A PENNY. I spoke to agent called sam and cut the phone off Reviewed on: 2nd March 2024

Appaulling customer service 5/6/7 hours on hold to be cut off at 5 om when closing no reply to emails two weeks now and nothing .. DO NOT insure with this company shocking customer service may be cheap but that’s the only good thing about them Reviewed on: 24th February 2024

Please DONT use them. Absolutely no customer service.

Absolute joke from start to well its still not resolved. Car was stolen from outside my drive outside my house on November- arguably, that wasn’t the most stressful thing to have happened- dealing with ESure was and still is. I am thousands out of pocket and that’s no just the car! Waited literally hours on the phone to try to get through to someone. Tried to get hire car. Even though supposed to be within 24 hours, was days afterwards as authorisation from email never came through. This was even after repeated calls. Tried online chat bot and equally bad. Hours waiting to be cut off. Same as on phone. I have literally emailed 30 times with just 2 responses. Have telephoned around 20 times. Now phone every week with lots of promises from call centre staff but nothing! Then have to repeat all following week. My phone bill for calling Esure was an extra £75 last month. Only call centre seems to be in South Africa with bad lines and repeated failing. I even tried to lodge a complaint but they couldn't even do that properly. I could go on. But Please Please don’t use. Avoid. Even if it means paying a little extra! Reviewed on: 23rd February 2024

This is the worst insurance company

This is the worst insurance company This is the worst insurance company. At first everything looked great, they offered not bad price and got everything done quickly. When my wife got her license half a year later, they doubled the insurance. 1000 pounds turned into 2000 thousand. Soon, unfortunately, my wife got into an accident due to the fault of another driver who did not let her pass when she was driving on the main road with a green light. We provided evidence from dash cam. The video shows the opponent's fault. At the moment (21.02.23), 5 months have passed since the accident, there is still no result. It's time for me to renew the insurance on my work car, but since there is an open case, my insurance has increased by £1000, and I wasn’t even driving the car that was involved in the accident. In a month, I need to renew the insurance for a car that was in an accident; the price will be increased again, since there is no solution to the accident. This is some kind of robbery, the insurance company is deliberately delaying even the most obvious consideration of the case with video evidence in order to increase payments. I work 18 hours, I barely have enough money for my family, I spent many years of savings on an old car(2012) to make it easier for my wife to take care of the children. But the insurance company forces me to work 24 hours a day just to pay them, and they will sit for years looking at obvious accidents without victims. On my only day off I tried to contact the company (1pm) and find out when there would be a decision on our case, I waited on the phone for 40 minutes, then I started writing in the chat and wasted 6 hours on numerous correspondence in vain. There is not one email address on the site where you can write a complaint. Each staff will transfer you to some other department, and then they will tell you that their working hours are over, write to us tomorrow. I need to take a month off to get through to the right department. I strongly recommend that you avoid this company, you won’t find a simpler case than ours, but they are still delaying the decision in order to rip off as much as possible from you, and also other companies will screw you if you have more than one car in the family. This is a conspiracy to rip off all drivers. 22/02/2024 We can’t get through on the phone, every time we connect to the claims department, they hang up on the phone. Our unfinished business is displayed in the system as Our fault, but this is 100% not true. In the chats I was told that the case is still under consideration and no decision has been made.

Avoid at all costs!

Twice I've had to phone this company (Saturday and today) in the 3 years I've been with them and I am appalled. Due to customer service they don't even deserve the 1 star I have given. Poor advice given by an agent Saturday who told me to cancel my insurance with them then take out new cover (only to discover this is not an option due to maintenance at the moment) he refused to re-instate and took no responsibility for giving me this advice. Then today when explaining to another staff member what had happened and how I've had no documents to prove it's been cancelled she was down right rude, when I told her I wanted to speak to her manager she point blank refused and began accusing me of shouting at her. when I asked the woman to slow down when spelling her name and when on loud speaker myself and 3 other people couldn't catch the whole spelling of her name due to her spelling it so fast, she then began shouting at me and constantly cutting me off when I was trying to talk to her. Abruptly then saying one letter every time I tried to speak! I will never recommend this company to anyone and glad to have found (cheaper) cover with Ageas, and their customer service after 1 day already tops Esure! Reviewed on: 19th February 2024

I have found dealing with esure easy.

I have found dealing with esure easy. The staff are friendly and answer my queries really well. I have also found their online services easy to use. I have not yet had to make a claim but reading reviews elsewhere on the web I am confident that they are a good provider. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

The worst insurance company ever!

The worst insurance company ever! Don’t look at the £200-£300 cheaper insurance. You will regret it. Hours on the phone , 3 months and my claim is still ongoing. Zero communication. No one available to speak unless you have 5-10 hours a day to stay on hold. Stay a mile away from these cowboys Reviewed on: 13th February 2024

Esure has the worst customer service ever.

Esure has the worst customer service ever. ou cant speak to anyone only a chat bot and you have to wait hours to do so. I was trying to report an accident and waited 40 minutes then to be cut off Reviewed on: 6th February 2024

Don't insure your car with Esure

Tried to insure a new car with them on my policy but they said I couldn't do it because I was in the renewal phase. I basically ended up paying for a months car insurance on my old car fro nothing. When I asked to cancel it they said they'd charge me for the pleasure Absolute joke. Never ever insure your car with esure!! Reviewed on: 6th February 2024

Thieves: Do not give them your bank details

My car insurance with esure expired in November 2023. It was confirmed to me clearly in their renewal opt-in email that it was a non-renewal policy and would automatically end if no action was taken. Well, e-sure then took payment for another year. This payment was higher than the quoted amount. The customer service agents claim not to have my information on their system so cannot speak with me about my money that they took. On other occassions such as just now on the 5/2/2024 I was on hold for 50 minutes, then the hold music stopped, silence ensured for 45 seconds then someone disconnected the call. I have also followed their complaints procedure, but they do not follow their own complaints procedure which means the information on their website is false and entirely misleading. Upon sending an email to [email protected] you receive no receipt acknowledgement which is shoddy and suspicious. Do not give this company your money or bank details. If so do so at your own peril, frustration and disappointment. Reviewed on: 5th February 2024
