    The worst insurance company

I had to change my car half way through the policy, I told them so. The car I bought was faulty so I returned the car to the garage on the day it was bought. I informed them of it yet they charged me for a month even though the car was not in my hands and increased my policy price to an extra 1 third of the price I had agreed with, which was almost the double price of other insurance companies. When you first sign up for it they omit the use of a tracker etc and then send you one, which you have to pay for!!! I mean their customer service is so bad that they answer enquires only by online chat! I’ve been driving for many years and have used a dozen of insurance companies, never found one as bad as this one! Don’t get their service, choose another one. Read more Read less

    Too many cancellation notices

Signal didn;t receive from my black box but faulty blackbox in the end they cancelled my insurance without listening to customer end. Intention very clear take money annually and refund less than half of your money. Faulty black box paid 80pounds. Read more Read less

    Take your money, ignore you if you have an accident

    My son paid £1000 for insurance through Ingenie. After 9 months, his car was hit by someone at a roundabout. Ingenie were absolutely no help... My son paid £1000 for insurance through Ingenie. After 9 months, his car was hit by someone at a roundabout. Ingenie were absolutely no help whatsoever and wouldn't even reply to letters. At renewal time, they just emailed to say they wouldn't quote for a further year's insurance. All they want is your money - no service or assistance whatsoever. Read more Read less

    Pay whatever!

    Absolute shambles of a company! Took out insurance for a teen in my household, informed them that he no longer uses the car and cancelled... Absolute shambles of a company! Took out insurance for a teen in my household, informed them that he no longer uses the car and cancelled the policy. Was told I had to email them. So after a phone call and an email, I think it's sorted. Three months later, we get a letter from a debt-agency - wanting money for car insurance for a policy I cancelled! Debt agency asked for evidence, which i gladly supplied. They terminated the request from Ingenie for the funds instantly, because Ingenie lied about the dates I called and emailed and even said that he was still using the car (a car which has been scrapped). Would never use again! Read more Read less

    Just as expected.

    Basic black box car insurance. Nothing more, nothing less. Great for young drivers though due to costs and having to be more aware of your driving skills.

Got my first time insurance and subsequent year at a competitive price by having a black box. Were very helpful when a 3rd party wrote off my vehicle. However lots of additional costs for issues and some staff have been very unhelpful. Read more Read less
