Review of the Swinton Insurance, Car Insurance:

disappointed

If you have to change your name oh address they charge you for it Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

After years they hiked up my insurance

After being with them for many years with a decent price for my insurance, they hiked the price up by more than £400! The policy was exactly the same & nothing had changed! Very disappointed Reviewed on: 23rd September 2018

Automatic renewal at very high rate

I had my car insurance renewed at a very high rate, I had to call and re negotiate and got a much cheaper quote at nearly 50 percent less but I had to pay to move to the cheaper option. Why are customers renewed at the high rate automatically without being informed of better options before automatic renewal Reviewed on: 23rd September 2018

Friendly & helpful

After many years of staying with the same company, “the post office”I decided to switch, I spoke with an extremely polite and helpful lady, as well as saving money, I was impressed with the experience, after all “good manners are free”! Later that week after telling the post office why I was cancelling, I received a renewal quote from them in the post, it had gone up! Reviewed on: 11th September 2018

Great price

Great price for great insurance Reviewed on: 27th August 2018

Swinton - Cheap But Useless

After a month my swinton insurance cancelled. You have to upload your proof of ncb via there website which I did easily enough, end of storey I thought. After a month got an email saying my policy was cancelled. I rang them and they were no help what so ever. They pretty much said they didn`t believe me that I had uploaded my proof of ncb, although they did acknowledge I had registered online with them ( why else would I register online other than to upload my ncb!?), and they said emails had been sent to me warning of the cancellation. Search of my email revealed no such emails had been sent! So yes they are cheap but seems like it might be a gamble as to whether your car is actually insured, in summary I went to direct line, little more expensive but helpful and there web stuff works, swinton are shit. Reviewed on: 24th November 2017

Seems good but big increases on renewal

They're OK and when you call for help they do resolve and help but the renewal costs don't give any allowance for being a loyal customer and if you miss a payment the fees are very high Reviewed on: 1st October 2017

Ok

Good the first year but premiums hiked second year. Were not helpful when I asked Reviewed on: 1st October 2017

Great Price

Swinton car insurance provided value for money car insurance. Provided me with your personal contact in case of any questions or claim. Reviewed on: 30th September 2017

Couldnt cancel policy

Found a better quote when it was renewal time but had so many problems trying to get them to leave me alone had to go to the bank to cancel as they kept trying to take money for a policy I never took up Reviewed on: 26th September 2017

Poor

Poor service Not aware of products Waste of time Reviewed on: 3rd September 2017
