John Lewis Car insurance reviews (33)

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
