Easy to sign up, great price

Easy to sign up, even for multicar! Reviewed on: 14th August 2022

Took the worry clean out of the claim

5
This company pretty much did what the paint said on the tin for me. I had a claim and they took it completely in their stride and took any stress that I had put of the equation. Even managed to sort a courtesy car for irrespective of the 6 week estimated wait time. Safe to say, this was the first car insurance company that I have renewed for a 2nd year with.
