Review of the Collingwood, Car insurance:

View on product page

Read the small print

I bought a Vauxhall Adam for my daughter, and insured her for a full 12 months with Collingwood to help her pass her test. At £191.50, the policy was fantastic value. The low price is what helped me make the final decision to actually get her the car, but that is exactly where the positives end. We only needed the insurance for two months before she passed her test. When I went to cancel, the hidden fees hit. They even tried to argue the policy had rolled into the third month. After only 60 days of being insured on a 12-month policy, my total refund was £18.75. It is an absolute joke. Pros: The initial price is genuinely great for learners. Cons: Completely untrustworthy when it comes to cancellation. The extortionate exit fees wipe out any savings you thought you made. Bottom line: Read the small print very carefully if there is any chance you won't use the entire 12-month policy. Also when you cancel they put you through to their partners who are VERY PUSHY - do not agree to be transferred as the price was way higher than comparison websites. Reviewed on: 11th June 2026
