Terrible experience Terrible insurance. I opened a claim weeks ago, for damages. Every email interaction requires at least one week. So far, the faster response time was ... Read more Reviewed on: 14th August 2025

Five star service!

I love the way Laka works- such a change from the normal insurance companies and was really easy to set up Reviewed on: 7th September 2018

It's about time something like this came along! Great customer service too, would definitely recommend ... Reviewed on: 6th September 2018

Great Idea, Great Execution

Laka, in my view, is the sort of organisation that we would like to see more of in other walks of life. Their disruptive, customer-centric, business model is a welcome change from the usual painful insurance experience that we are all used to. Congratulations to the team for daring to be different!

Unbelievably good service, especially when I had a claim - They paid the same day!

I have only been a Laka customer for about 4 months and even though July is their ‘peak’ month for claims, I have still only paid about £16 to date. On top of this, while cycling in Italy last week I had an incident with my Garmin cycling computer. The clamp holding it to my bike broke mid-ride at about 40 km/h and the Garmin flew off my handlebars and smashed on the road. I immediately emailed Laka and although I initially had a little trouble with the website, they jumped into action to help process my claim and it was easy to upload a video statement of what happened and a picture of my broken Garmin. They could not have been more helpful. What really blows me away is that the next day I went to a local store in Italy to buy a replacement Garmin and Laka immediately repaid me and had the money back in my bank account by the time I went to bed that evening. I have never known an insurance company to be this helpful or pay out this quickly. A huge thanks and Laka have a customer for life! I would highly recommend Laka! Reviewed on: 5th September 2018

Fair and friendly

Sharing claims rather than paying premiums is really cool - it’s fairer and cheaper Reviewed on: 4th September 2018

Great idea, looking forward to it in Southeast Asia

5
Love the concept of not paying any premiums upfront, but rather a share of the actual claims cost at the end of the month, up to a clearly communicated personal cap. Customer-centric from the model up. Looking forward to seeing this biz branch into other verticals, and come to southeast asia to take the local scene BY STORM Reviewed on: 4th September 2018

Laka - on our side

I am so impressed with Laka. They have single-handedly restored my faith in the insurance industry. They are transparent, uncomplicated, friendly, and work hard to be sure that my claim is settled. Amazing. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2018
