John Lewis Car Insurance reviews (30)

First Class

My first experience of John Lewis car insurance. Competitive prices, great customer service and user friendly website. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 30th August 2017

Not the best experience

I had an insurance policy through John Lewis, however when I had to make a claim after an accident (I wasn't at fault), I was passed over to another company because my insurance wasn't actually with John Lewis. Unfortunately the other company were about as useful as a chocolate teapot and it was only when I threatened to take them to court as they were the company who I had made the payment and taken the policy out with that they decided to help. So much for their legendary "customer service"...... Reviewed on: 4th July 2017

pricey

too expensive for the service provided and support on the call centre Reviewed on: 15th February 2017

Breakdow recovery.

Recently I changed my insurance company from a well known large company, being dissatisfied being charged for an in car cam recorder being fitted. as this was classed as a modification. Having read reviews with so many other insurance companies, decided to join John Lewis. Unfortunately for the first time in my broke down electrical component failure. Phoning John Lewis spoke to one of the most nicest pleasant personality who was so helpful to me, Anne was her name (night staff) I was also called back by Anne with who would attend to me. Not only was my vehicle returned to my home address that night, Following morning at 8-50am received a phone call from Dawn who organised a 2nd recovery vehicle to take to a garage of my choice. Although garage was 12 miles away no questions was asked, I could not have expected any better service from John Lewis car insurance and break-down service. This being my first call out with current vehicle in 17yrs, Gary Boyton. Reviewed on: 31st October 2016

Car Insurance

Top class

I took our my car insurance with John Lewis after reading several reviews. Good customer service. I can recommend. Reviewed on: 27th September 2016

Hassle Free Claim

Very efficient when my car was involved in a collision with a foreign lorry Reviewed on: 11th September 2016

Straight forward, no hassle

When it came to renewal they even suggested a cheaper quote that they would match! Excellent customer service Reviewed on: 29th August 2016

Been with for years but haven't renewed!

As part of my car insurance package, I usually buy car breakdown, legal protection and excess protection. This year, after receiving my policy renewal, I checked their website, and noticed John Lewis were giving breakdown insurance free for the first 12 months. I phoned to negotiate my renewal, and I was basically told 'Not negotiable, take it, or leave it!' I mentioned the free car breakdown and was just told I wasn't eligible. End of......so, end of my insurance with John Lewis, after a number of years. In the past, I have been offered JL vouchers as an incentive but not this time. I am of an age where I don't mind paying a little extra for peace of mind but I do expect good customer service and respect. I was very disappointed with the attitude and, as a result, they have lost a loyal customer. I shall do likewise when my other John Lewis products come up for renewal. Reviewed on: 28th October 2015

Making claims isn't always very easy

I had a car accident and needed to make a claim. The service wasn't bad, but things felt like they were taking longer to conclude. Pro is that staff were friendly Reviewed on: 13th October 2014
