Was easy to set up .Quick to send out details but may not have tracked through Quidco so £31.00 dearer than expected.Be aware next time. Reviewed on: 14th July 2019

Good structure...could be better.

I had a car accident. Reporting the claim took a great deal of time, almost one hour. The call was thorough however there was a miscommunication concerning my entitlement to a courtesy car which caused some inconvenience and had a knock on effect, causing further miscommunication. A good effort was made, to put things right on part of privilege which I acknowledge. However at an already distressing time, the mishaps did exacerbate matters. Despite these issues I still would recommend Privilege as there were many areas which they got right first time . This included prompt collection of my vehicle, and delivery to the garage as it was unsafe to drive. Additionally dealing with the needs of the passengers in the vehicle. Thank you.

I have chosen this insurance because it seemed the best option in terms of services and price. After one year the price went up and I asked why, the answer because my car is valuable. This makes sense? And they did not let me know in advance. Later I had an accident, it was not my fault, I took pictures and collected information from the other vehicle. Privilege did not pay any attention to my case that I had to pay my share and more the price went up because I was the one responsible for the accident. How do you think I feel, not being protected by the insurance company from which I have been paying £83 and now £115 plus £ 53 for canceling the insurance ... Reviewed on: 7th May 2019

Absolute Thieves....AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!

Absolute Thieves !!! We Made a claim in November in regards to a road accident and everything was going great for about a week. 6 weeks later in between lots of mucks ups eventually in December we were just about to receive our pay out for the claim when we receive a call from Privilege stating 3 of their own customer service and claims advisors had read their own policy wording wrong in regards to our claimand we had indeed been misinformed about our claim and they would no longer be paying the claim!!! We have had so many problems, spoken to so many different advisors none from the UK may i add and none of them know their jobs properly obviously. This company need struck off for false misinterpretations and advising customers wrongly. We purchased our new vehicle on Privileges advise that they would pay the claim so we are now thousands of pounds out of pocket because if the incompetent imbeciles. Avoid like the plague unless you want to pay insurance for no reason and not be paid out, its little wonder people hate insurance companies when you have companies like this treating their customers like this. Again everyone AVOID AVOID AVOID, they are an absolute joke and we will see how they like every bad review and bad publicity i can put there way as well as the financial Ombudsman !!!

Cancelled my policy leaving me without insurance for a full week.....essentially leaving me driving illegally. Made no effort to help me fix the issue before cancelling. Requoted an astrological amount 350quid more than Id paid in full only 2 months prior. Such a stressful situation. No customer care at all. Reviewed on: 29th November 2018

Having read some reports on the Privalge site, of how bad you are, and customer service is nil, well my experience is just the opposite, I have just spoken with a young man called Adam, who couldn’t have been more helpful, and felt I must say so Many thanks Adam.
