Review of the Post Office, Car insurance:

Terrible experience all round.

Terrible experience all round. My husband renewed insurance only for them to cancel it and take money from our account. No reason given by customer service for this. Worse ever service. Don't call back have to wait up to eight weeks to get it resolved even though clearly mistake their side. Worst company I've ever been with with and I have been driving for a long time and have maximum no claims. DONT GO WITH, MUCH BETTER COMPANIES OUT THERE. Reviewed on: 30th December 2024

Cancellation car sale

The cancellation charge is only £1 less than the remaining charges. Inequitable and not an encouragement to use this company again. NEVER! Reviewed on: 17th February 2017

Waste of time

Firstly whilst completing the on line quote application my car registration (Been insured elsewhere for 8 years!) couldn't be found. Then when I filled in details of my car it insisted it had automatic gears which it hasn't and finally when clicked to get quote it said there was a problem and to get the quote click continue - this took me back to the start with all data erased. Forget it! Useless waste of time Reviewed on: 26th August 2016

They Guarantee to beat your renewal quote ...... but when they don't !!!!!

Letter received from Post Office July 2016 - We Guarantee to Beat your renewal quote by at least £50. Sounded too good to be true but ... I rang. Went through the whole car insurance questions and their quote was over £200 MORE than my renewal quote - so I said I would email my renewal quote and they could then confirm they would match and give me £50. SURPRISE, surprise ..... they informed me I had to sign up for their policy at the price quoted and then send in the documents and they would scrutinise them to confirm it was a like for like and then refund me the £250 plus. I wasn't falling for that one! BEWARE promises they probably won't keep! Reviewed on: 10th August 2016

Reasonably priced car insurance

I have used this company for car insurance for the last few years. They are always competitively priced and offer hire cars. I have always been able to reach them when needed. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2016

Fabulous

Wonderful customer service, and a great deal for the over 50s! Reviewed on: 1st August 2016

Cheap insurance

I have insured my car for 2 years running with the Post Office. Details are sent through quickly and the overall cost includes a lot of extras which are often not included with other insurers. I believe the cost is extremely competitive hence renewing again this year. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015
