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

Good communications

Before the government upped the prices Swinton were brilliant. Brilliant to talk to on the phone and handle all queries both online and via phone. Reviewed on: 1st September 2017

Incompent and misleading

Don't believe their statement about claims help. I was misled and passed to Hertz Accident Support who only seek to make money out of your misfortune.
