Review of the Footman James, Classic Car Insurance Broker:

Over £400 stolen from us

My husband and I are having awful problems with Footman James! My husband rang to inform them that his bike was no longer being held in a garage, and they said they wouldn’t insure it and that he’d have to cancel his policy. He was then told that they couldn’t cancel his policy until his third instalment of £225.68 which was due to come out the following week had been paid, and that his bike would no longer be insured. I found this exceedingly odd but agreed and when the third instalment was due, he paid it. I knew he was due a refund as he had paid three instalments (one of £225.69, and two of £225.68) which makes up for 9 months of the year, and he’d only had the policy since 11/01/19 and he’d called at the first week of March! But he received a call today to say he would only be getting a refund of £218. So extremely unfair! I am very unhappy that he has been first made to make a payment when they told him he needed to cancel, and then have the audacity to only give him a refund of £218. Absolutely disgraceful. They pretty much put the gun to his head and stole the money from him. I’d warn everyone to stay away. Seriously, it’s not worth the time or money. Reviewed on: 15th March 2019

Easy Classic Car Insurance

I have used Footman James for over 30years for kit car and classic car insurance. They have always been competitive and helpful. Reviewed on: 19th September 2018

Classic car insurance for my Mazda Mx5

Recommended by a friend and having looked a few adverts and reviews I decided to give FJ a call. Wow, they were really understanding and nothing was too much trouble. They explained all my silly questions as this was my first time insuring a classic. So came to the inevitable renewal date, as always I shopped around but FJ stayed competitive and I'm into my second year of cover. Reviewed on: 19th September 2018

The best for your old classic

Used them for 20 + years and have never been beaten. Never had to claim but nothing is ever too much trouble should you need to change or upgrade your policy. Reviewed on: 19th September 2018

First impressions

I have two classic cars and as my 1961 Landrover was due for renewal i phoned F J. A very pleasant lady dealt with my enquiry and the price was about the same, however, the broker fee was far less and as i intend to sell the vehicle soon the cancellation fee was far less. To top it all when asked if i was in a car club the price went below my renewal. She really did try to help and also said when my TR is due we can put it on same policy. I will definitely be doing that as they do go the extra mile to help. I have recommended my eldest son and his RS Turbo and a friend who has 3 classics. Well done and thankyou FJ.
