Review of the Swinton Insurance, Car insurance:

SCAM money out of you, no idea what they are doing!

Got new insurance with them, they sent a letter saying it was cancelled, when I called its because a previous case was open even though its settled, (took multiple calls for them to realise this is why) anyway finally paid extra to cover it, including an extra fee for paperowrk which is fine, only to have an email this morning to say our insurance has been cancelled, we were refunded MINUS another free and MINUS the money Ipaid previously on top of the origional. So I am now £70 down and have to fork out for another insurance company! Complete waste of money and time, the customer service lady has NO idea what she is doing, very unprofessional, useless and scammers! Reviewed on: 23rd August 2022

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

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

Accessible and get value for money quotes

I eventually moved from another national insurance broker (the AA) to Swinton because I found the former to be too commercially driven and the prices were rising above the competitive rate. I found Swinton be good at giving me choices so I could pick a lower price with great cover. They also have a better customer response - through their easy accessibility and general openness and helpfulness. The impression I get from Swinton is they provide focus on giving a good customer response and then the good commercial business will follow as a natural consequence. Well done Swinton, keep it up. 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. In industry for over 20 years and have never seen such incompetence as I was subjected to. FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN found against Swinton in my case! Avoid this Insurer at all costs. Seek cover elsewhere!
