So, knowing what a minefield camper van insurance is I called Staveley Head after I got my Asda comparison quote. They confirmed, in the six minute call, that they would insure my camper van conversion. A month later I received a message warning me that if I didn't provide a pile of additional info within FIVE hours they'd cancel my insurance. I provided dozens of pics, forms and print outs, they even wanted a full DVLA licence print and a copy of every page of my V5! So I complied. Then they say they will have to charge me £134 to delete the tracker I listed because it's a Halfords one! Then they say the cooker and table have to be fixed and not removable, this was THE WHOLE POINT OF MY CALL BEFORE I INSURED! In the end I relented and cancelled, here's their made up fee's and as far as I'm concerned some are duplicated........£20 admin.....£85 cancellation......£5 refund.....£79 insurance used. With a fixed bed, solar system, TV, roof vent and fan and swivel seats it's hardly a commercial van is it! Ombudsman next! Read more Read less

Poor service unbelievable cancellation policies

I have had motor insurance for over 30 years and I have to say this company is the worse insurance company broker I have ever used. £256 annual premium had to cancel after two months , £29 refund/ credit which they even charge £5 for a Bacs transfer which will take them up to 6 weeks to pay back, laughable. The service on the phone waiting time is shocking their manners and attitudes/ email replies are shocking with around 5days response to reply. Terrible company and service. The cancellation policies should be illegal!! Day light robbery. Read more Read less

At renewal, Staveley head asked for a copy of MOT certificate after the 14 days cooling off period (they waited exactly 28 days) and gave me less than 6 hours to send it over before cancelling my policy at 3pm that day. My policy was for £188 and total cancellation fees amount to £173.25 and won’t review. What a way to treat a renewing customer. I have 4 other policies with Chris Knott Insurance and 100% recommend them. Avoid these scamming cowboys. Read more Read less

This company get you to sign up and then request information eg certificates, inspections, you name it in the hope you won't be able to produce them, then you have no option but to cancel and they refund about half of your premium. They tried to charge me £155 for 3 days insurance, still struggling to get my money back, they say the refund could take 6 months to be refunded WTF AVOID! You've been warned! Read more Read less

    Don't use.

    Absolutely wasted my time. This company is useless and not worth wasting your time with. I stated my no claims bonus when getting the insurance... Absolutely wasted my time. This company is useless and not worth wasting your time with. I stated my no claims bonus when getting the insurance and shower proof but they weren't happy that it wasn't specifically camper van insurance. The no claims was on a ford transit which was a camper. Waste of time, effort and money. Use a different company. Read more Read less
