Claimed the recent storm wasn't a storm so they wouldn't cover damage

1
Absolutely do not trust this company. If you're faced with that response, ask for a full written final response to your complaint. Then take it up with the FSA. Additionally, try the ASA for their online advert regarding "House blown away in a storm? We'll cover...". Also contact the MET office for input in regards to "It's not a storm".

Sheila's Wheels/ Esure. Racist

1
Sheila's Wheels/ Esure. Racist. Discrimination. If you are a beautiful person of colour. you will be discriminated against regardless of your loyalty. Failure to investigate a false and fraudulent claim against you. Then when you complain about not receiving any updates on the matter for over 7 months. They try to close the case and pay the fraudulent claimant as it's more cost effective as you are not seen as worthy. Reviewed on: 18th February 2022

12 Consecutive Years with them, Two Claims - Overall a little more expensive but seemingly worth it

4
I am not one for loyalty but year in year out Sheilas Wheels have been comparable to other companies in like-for-like prices. However, this year there was a considerable jump in premium. Other "known" name companies were quoting £100 cheaper and with cashback it could be £135 ish saved. However, having looked at reviews for these cheaper companies it seems that they are terrible when it comes to making a claim. In my 12 years with them I have had two claims. One was clear cut no-fault as I was rear side swiped by a lady who admitted 100% fault and one was not my fault but got ruled as a 50/50. In both cases Seilas Wheels were relatively easy to deal with - they organised a courtesy car quickly, arranged to collect my damaged car and take it to their repairer (then delivered it back) and gave me a named "claims handler". The second case was a little odd as the other party was insurced with esure who are the "same" company as such as Sheilas Wheels so in effect one side of the same company were claiming against themselves on the other side of the same company but I was assured that they have audited systems in place to ensure the claim is treated with absolute fairness. I have spent the last two full days running car insurance quotes and trying to find company reviews and I have been very tempted to go for the potential £135 "saving" on the cheaper quotes but in the end I have decided to stay with Sheilas Wheels as their customer service has always been good and I have experienced that overall they treated me well in my two claims with them.

Good until you need them

Had a life changing diagnosis so needed to cancel my insurance until further notice. They took a monthly payment yesterday and have taken £49.22 to cancel today with only two months left on the policy. Immoral bunch of cretins. Don’t mind paying a minimal admin fee, but nearly £50 is disgraceful considering it’s a click of button. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2022

Competitive price but woeful claim support

2
Had an accident on Saturday. Still haven't got a nominated repairer or date. Trying to get through to Sheila's Wheels is very difficult, they simply do not employ sufficient staff. The worst insurance experience I've had in 30 years driving. Do not choose Sheila's wheels are your next insurer. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
