Funny how all reviews are about how great and easy it was to hand over the money and take out the policy,I can promise you when you need Rias to give you any money back to fix your problem,that is a different matter!!! Company needs investigation Reviewed on: 27th December 2024

Rias insurance are uninsurable

Home emergency cover what a joke just do not answer phone cuts off and tells you to call back. This company is literally uninsurable!! Reviewed on: 18th December 2022

Complete rip off company

1
We have had our buildings and contents insurance with Rias for 5 years. We moved out of our property at the end of October into a relatives house so didn't need to take the insurance with us. They charged us a £60 exit fee even though our Direct Debit for November was taken in the sum of £20, which would cover us for a month we aren't even living at the property. Will never use this company again! Reviewed on: 15th November 2022

Frustrating claim experience

I have this week made a claim against my home insurance and home protection insurance – dealing with both claims has been incredibly frustrating and time consuming Every time I call the claims lines, I am waiting 30-60 minutes before I can speak to a claim handler – there is a hold message that I’ve heard so many times from other organisations – that you are receiving a high volume of calls – this is just a default message for any time of the day and seems to be there (along w...
