Don't be fooled by there cheap prices.

Honestly, you'll go on tons of comparisons websites and this will always pop up at the top as the cheapest, they pay these comparison website to do this, once they've got you booked onto a quote, after 200 pound in admin fees ect you will then be forced to pay out your arse for a sub par insurance company with crummy support staff and very poor benefits, i'd recommend anywhere else than these guys, just another money hungry insurance company.

Left waste of time awful service don't use dlg auto or dlg legal

I couldnt leave fast enough when it was time to renew in August even though my car hasn't been properly repaired and its with the ombudsman. Had to put in a complaint to dlg legal as the case handler was incompetent, I have a better one now. Stay far away from privilege insurance. I would never recommend Reviewed on: 14th November 2020

Worst company if youve ever had a car accident

Never use their recommended repair dlg auto repairs nor their legal team dlg legal. They dont repair your car to british standard and they fight you every step of the way even if you do get an independent report and take it to the ombudsman, set of thieves privilege insurance Reviewed on: 17th August 2020

Repairs by there approved repairers

what a waist of time as I have had nothing but issues with the repairs, dlg autos waist of time. Please avoid! That's the company the recommended to me waist of time and privilege are the ones that recommended them. I brought a car for £18000 and in one year and a half, I have driven it for seven months its been back to them several times and privilege are not helpful at all. What a waist of time. Please avoid them as they don't want to help Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Local call centres make for a much more pleasant experience when contacting your broker Reviewed on: 6th September 2019

Good but always read the small print

Privilege had a competitive price for the year. I had a car accident back in April of this year. Whilst the claim went through successfully. There were a few benefits, that I expected automatically with the cover, like other insurers which was not the case. An example of this was a courtesy car, which I found I was not entitled to on this occasion despite paying for this cover. My advice would be, when shopping around do not take it for granted that all insurers are the same. Read up and compare before you take out your cover. Whilst there were a few matters which had to be escalated, everything was resolved and I was satisfied with the service. Reviewed on: 1st September 2019

Great company, great prices

Privilege is genuinely the best insurance company that I have had. In the past I have had issues with other companies with regards to cancelled direct debits and unpaid bills due to errors on their end, by never had issues with Privilege. Their team is also always on hand if I need help too. Reviewed on: 14th July 2019
