M&S Bank - Marks and Spencer Car insurance reviews (101)

Price goes up and they are holding my refund for a month

Had an amazing experience with Marks and sparks car insurance. Price was competitive, so I went for it. However after I had paid the year up front which in was tough enough, in order to save some pennies for food over the year, they say I didn't mention a claim on my policy, one that wasn't my fault and had cctv to prove it. They then upped my car insurance by over 100 pounds more. How lovely. Well needless to say, the price was no longer competitive and I was no longer in a mood to continue having them as my Insurers. I asked for a refund, well within my 14 days cooling off period, but they said as my policy does not start till August 28th, I will have to wait 7 or 8 days after that time to recieve a refund?! So now I am without insurance and without the money to afford any other car Insurance. So I will be walking 20 miles to walk come end of August. Can you Imagine the stress this has caused at home? Disgusting. Reviewed on: 5th August 2023

Car Insurance

Disgusting in a cost-of-living crisis, the price doubled without warning can barely afford it before but need it to get to work. If it didn't cost more to leave, I would have left instantly, but I simply cannot at the moment! M&S should be appalled by the way it treats people. Reviewed on: 5th August 2023

What a farce

Tried to claim....never ever claimed on any insurance in my life before. Someone reversed into me while I was parked. They admitted liability. Then it began....M&S Insurance.....what a shower. Long story short ...no one cares...no one rings you or texts you. Everyone working from home...babies crying. Their nominated garage would not answer phone....no alternate. On it went....then they said they closed the claim...why...who knows. I had the repair done and paid myself. I couldn't wait any longer and it was so stressful. Be warned M &S are a broker for this... just front this....the real company are people you've never heard of...it's a rubbish outfit of unhelpful,lazy home workers whose target is to wear you down with inactivity and not contacting you so you give up.AVOID..

Insurance OK, financial team need work!!!

Fell behind with one payment! Constant phone messages, texts and emails! Was only a week late! Talk about a helpful after sales service!! AVOID! Reviewed on: 19th July 2023

You can't polish a turd!

Just absolutely embarrassingly awful. It honestly is like somebody has let a bunch of school leavers unattended in the contact center. Your dealing with rude and obnoxious people whose intelligence is certainly Limited, yet have amazingly high levels of arrogance and ignorance. Avoid all costs as truly this will drive you to despair trying to in deal with the garbage that they call staff. I'm trying to cancel my policy and so far I've placed it almost two hours doing something so basic because they are so incapable of dealing with it. Reviewed on: 18th July 2023

Awful Insurance Broker

There's a saying, you find out what a company is really like when things go wrong and sadly if you have to claim then thats when you find out. M&S have just rebadged a poorly run insurance provider, pay the extra, its not worth the hassle if you need to claim, it's all outsourced Reviewed on: 4th July 2023

Scandlous service

I was involved in an incident on the 11th May 2023 and on the 26th June I am still no nearer getting any money to cover the damage on my car caused by the 3rd party. I have spoken to a representative from M&S insurance on numerous occasions and although they make promises to follow this up, it is obvious that it has not been. I am extremely frustrated as anyone in my situation would be. I certainly wouldn’t recommend this company. Reviewed on: 26th June 2023

1 star as zero is not an option absolutely shocking

Been a customer now for a while after deciding to up grade our car for something bigger called to swap over our new vehicle. to be told we needed to cancel our policy on our old car then take out a new policy which would mean me paying another massive deposit and also they had just taken a payment for our old car this is just a blatant scam to get more money I have taken this to the insurance ombudsman to sort out this company do your self a favour and avoid these people like a rash. terrible customer service will try anything to get there hands on your cash very under handed Reviewed on: 17th June 2023

AWFUl....DON'T USE

Had an accident Monday evening, and now Wednesday afternoon. No hire car sorted, no garage given for repair Been on the phone to them since first thing yesterday. Keep saying they have sent the paperwork over for a car and got absolutely nothing. A completely waste time. Reviewed on: 24th May 2023
