When re applying for my hotel insurance was quoted £4,800 and went on line and found it elsewhere for £1,400 - for the exact same insurance. Outrageous while claiming to be a leading insurance broker and if I can find this for myself online - with the first company I tried, why use this company that clearly is in business for the insurance companies and not the customer. Absolutely disgusted. Read more Read less

    Excellent Service

    Brilliant service from Simon, very competitive pricing and cover, simple and quick, open and honest, more insurance providers need to learn from these guys.

    Very poor communication exploiting COVID to con customers

    This company should not be trusted.

The guy was rude, unhelpful and said he would email a quote on predicted figures until we could find out more. He clearly wanted the business that day and didn't hear from him again. Waste of time!

Terrible service. Went elsewhere and will not be using this company ever. Read more Read less
