Swinton Insurance Car insurance reviews (114)

Hard to deal with and they charge you for everything

2
Needed to go to post office to send signed docs back instead of scan and email. They charge £24 if they don't receive within 2 weeks. If you wish to cancel within 15 days. They charge you £25. It seems a money making scheme and wish had known before taking the policy out Reviewed on: 22nd July 2016

They are the only company that I have com across that still require me to go to or post things to a branch to set up my insurance. They promised cash back that I had to chase and they renewed my policy when I had asked them not to. They would also only give me their best price if I talked to a woman on the phone. Absolute disgrace. Reviewed on: 20th July 2016

Are Swinton really scammers?

1
I filled in a request for quote online on a third party website to insure a work van for my own pest control firm. Swinton's sales person phoned me the next day among a flood of phone calls from their competitors. I let myself talked me into taking a policy with them. However all that Swinton was interested in was to receive payments. Swinton has never sent us a cover note, insurance schedule or terms and conditions of business with them. Swinton ommited to tell me they were going to use underwriters Ageas before signing a credit agreement. Later Swinton failed to deliver the service I have paid for and I had no other option but to cancel further payments to the scammers. Reviewed on: 15th June 2016

Was charged £25 to change my address on my policy - I thought this was unfair as moving house is expensive enough! Reviewed on: 18th March 2016

Was charged £25 to amend someone on insurance as no longer being a learner having passed their test. I was gobsmacked when I had to pay it! Reviewed on: 15th March 2016
