Review of the Post Office, Car insurance:

The most appalling insurance i have ever experienced

I have been driving for over 20 years and this is the most appalling car insurance i have ever experienced. I had an accident in January 2018 whereby another driver drove into me whilst stationery the third party wrote to me two days later to admit full liability Five months down the line post office insurance has still not updated the database to say this is a none fault accident resulting in my claim being counted as my fault by insurance companies. (one o f their excuses was that they did not receive payment from third party however the third party insurance company has been exceptional an only did not pay because post office had not sent them details of the amount owing. This has resulted in my having to pay 400 pounds to post office for insurance on the car from february to october (the car is no longer existent from february) and because they have not updated the car insurance database that this is a none fault accident my insurance has gone up on my new car from 500 pounds to 1000 i have rung this company on average once a week from february to June with an average time on phone of 40 mins and they still have not sorted it. I am now going to have to take this to financial ombudsman. Avoid them like the plague Reviewed on: 22nd June 2018

Never ever get post office car insurance

My dad had car accident which was not his fault. They said they can't repair the car as repair will cost more than value of car so, we opt for car money and its been 3 months since we put the claim and still has not been sorted. We were referred to total-loss team which was dealing with 3rd party insurer but we had to contact the insurance by ourselves to provide them with letter. It felt like we were doing more than their job. More than 2 weeks before we were said that 3rd party made a counter offer and we were waiting for money but when I chased them, they said 3rd party denied to release any fund so we have been referred back to post office.He had witness who provided all the details of accident but still they could not retrieve claim money from 3rd party insurer. Post office insurance company has useless staff, If u call them none of the staff has clue which department to put u through so they will pretend to transfer until phone gets cut. It's been very stressful and frustrating at the same time. Pay little more and get nicer insurer than having this insurance company. Reviewed on: 31st January 2025

Awful service.

Awful service. Reported an incident that took place on the 17th of October. It's now January and still nothing done. Have called them 8 times and enterprise twice who are also rubbish. Straight forward incident aswell, my car was parked. My advice don't go with post office! Reviewed on: 4th January 2025

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

Renewed car insurance on a renewable quote, after finding l could not get a better price on my car insurance elsewhere. Reviewed on: 8th October 2024

AVOID! Useless and extortionate.

Useless in the event of a claim - will palm you off to underwriters who are equally as useless and nothing will materialise from your claim. Despite having up to 3 years NCB and going into my 4th year insuring with PO, they thought it would be acceptable to increase my monthly premium from £128 to £266! Absolute p*ss-take and a smack in the face to a loyal paying customer of multiple years. Avoid! Reviewed on: 22nd September 2024

Smooth and easy process.

Smooth and easy process. Reasonably priced. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Learn by my mistake and AVOID

Currently have a claim going through, being passed between Enterprise, Ageas and someone called Carpenter. Fully comprehensive but I seem to be chasing everything myself. Reviewed on: 21st August 2024

Absolutely useless and terrible service.

Absolutely useless. No help whatsoever. They will come up with every excuse under not to provide the service you pay for and will try to put you on to others, such as the RAC or their underwriters. Waiting times on the phone could be 15/20 minutes. Their customer service advisors have zero sympathy and are simply not willing to help in any way. Terrible service and I will certainly not renew with them. Reviewed on: 19th August 2024
