I was charged £63 in admin charges for my campervan insurance. If you think you are going to make any changes mid policy, you really need to check their terms and conditions on admin charges, they are eye watering. This will include adding drivers, removing drivers, moving house. Be aware. Read more Read less

Howdens have found me the best car insurance quote for two consecutive years. Their customer service is second to none and they remind me a month before my car insurance is due each year. Their customer emails are very informative and you don’t feel bombarded. Read more Read less

I switched to Howden last year and have just renewed my policy. The customer service was great and the prices was actually lower than last year. I left my last company because they would raise the price considerably at renewal time. Read more Read less

I am always left happy after headline with them on each policy Read more Read less

I have been driving for 17 years & this was my first accident. I had no idea how the process works but Howden’s explained everything step by step to me so I could fully understand. They updated me on any progress which was so reassuring. They arranged for me to have a hire car through Kindertons who again, were incredible! I have recommended Howden’s to multiple people since my accident! Read more Read less
