Review of the Ripe Insurance, Photography Insurance:

The worst company I have EVER dealt with

1
The amount of stress caused and loss of earnings this company has cost me is colossal! The very worst customer service of any company I have ever dealt with. I have had to get the Financial Ombudsman involved, and yet they still are not dealing with my claim in a timely fashion. This is the second claim I have been given the runaround with, yet they are so quick to take your renewal money. They have cost me in productivity and the stress I have encountered dealing with them is just not worth it. I may as well throw my money on a bonfire and at least benefit from the heat that gives...they give you nothing for your money but pain! I have had a damaged Macbook Pro screen since June 2022 and nothing has been done since I made the claim. Last year I dropped my hard drive, and after sending it off to get assessed and having to pay for the diagnosis, they then told me I am not covered for data recovery! I don't really get why I'm paying for a policy as it appears that nothing is covered...what an awful company. They just take your money and give you hell! The positive reviews here are of people who have, fortunately, not had to make a claim yet...God forbid you ever do have to! I have had to resort to now buying another Macbook Pro so I can commence work. So what was the point of me getting insurance with these crooks?? The only time they answer you is on here in public in order to fool those reading these reviews that they do value their customers and want to help. Even after answering one of my reviews they have still yet to action anything. I have sent them 4 different engineer reports detailing the damage but I'm still waiting for something positive to happen. I wish Watchdog was still on TV as this awful organisation should be exposed there. I will ensure that I spread this on all forms of social media and see if I can go to small claims court or something. Please do not take out any insurance with them, and steer clear of Davis Group in general, I can't stress this enough. My experience has been the worst nightmare you can imagine.

I'm very happy with the service and price that I get from Ripe Insurance. Their email communications are clear, timely and easy to understand and the documentation is well laid out. I know that all aspects of my business are covered with one insurer for simplicity and peace of mind. Reviewed on: 4th July 2020

At the moment all is well

From starting in a camera shop in 1965, through 23 years in the army to today I have always had a camera of one type or another with me. Mainly landscape, travel and garden pictures. Reviewed on: 4th July 2020

Excellent value for money .

I use Ripe because they provide a service which suites my requirements, no strings and an insurance just for my camera gear , at home, in my car or when I’m out shooting. Reviewed on: 4th July 2020

Painless to use Camera Equipment Cover

5
Concerned as I was going on a domestic trip in February that I'd accidentally let my photo gear insurance lapse I was able to quickly set up replacement cover online, conveniently & competitively. So far I can thoroughly recommend them. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2020

Top price for specialist insurance

5
I had used a competitor previously but when I came to re-new I came across Ripe who offered better cover at a cheaper price... I switched to Ripe. It's good to know I've got good cover if anything happens to my equipment and in the camera world that is highly likely! Reviewed on: 3rd July 2020

So simple and loyal.

5
So easy to set up, quick, efficient and professional. Nice to use a company that deals with your personal situation without numerous complicated form filling in. OK, I didn't make a claim but my premium did not go up either, unlike other companies where the premium goes up no matter what. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2020
