A reliable choice

Nationwide offer a comprehensive package that can be tailored to the individual. Their customer care is fantastic and whilst setting up and modifying my insurance when I moved they were easy to call and willing to help. I would highly recommend. Reviewed on: 19th August 2017

Can't get an update on my phone claim

2
Insurance cover is good, customer service from Nationwide is not too bad. Currently I am dealing with their partner service, DVS as my mobile phone is being repaired/ replaced. They have a 7 working day turnaround for this, meaning that, including postage time and weekends, I will have been without my mobile phone for at least two weeks when (if) it comes back. The online dashboard to show you the order progress doesn't make any sense, and the only way to contact DVS for a progress update is to request a call back from them - which is difficult when you don't have a mobile. Fortunately they offer a callback service at a time of your choice. However, when I gave them my work number, and made sure I would be at my desk at the chosen time, they did not call. Instead they sent me an email saying they endeavor to respond to enquiries within 20 days. Feeling frustrated, disappointed and very, very lost. Reviewed on: 15th November 2016

loyalty

Had my renewal through..went up considerably..rang them and asked them why it was so high(i had had no claims) they offered to re do the quote taking off a loyalty discount which then made the quote lower than i had been paying previously..my point is if i had not called about the renewal price the LOYALTY discount would not have been applied..loyalty...really, sneaky i call it.

good customer service

Had to ring on renewal as I had been ill and thought I had missed the renewal period. The call was answered quickly by a really helpful lady who assured me everything was fine, ran through it all to make sure there were no changes and renewed there and then. Paper work was here within a week Reviewed on: 18th August 2016
