Zego Cover by the hour reviews (30)

Review of the Zego, Cover by the hour:

I had a 30 day policy setup for auto renew

with zego. On auto-renewal zego will collect money on random day 3/5 before your policy expires. Unfortunately i didn't have enough money on that time. I try to contack company before my policy expire on saturday to renew manually but here was no answer on the phone and chat with agent. Sunday they are closed so i contacted them on monday over chat agent because as usual he phone lines not working. After describing my situation and question on what's new quote is as i'm with you two years agent told me that he cant help me to renew the policy. Agent informed me that they will ring back in 5 days to solve the issue and they think that i will be waiting 5 days to renew my policy. Time to look somewhere else Reviewed on: 10th July 2023

Rubbish insurance company

rubbish company, contacted so many times getting a cheaper quote always so many excuse of not giving me a cheaper insurance, even though I got crystal clean driving history pf over 4 years and so many people similar to me got way cheaper rate of £0.90 per hour where I pay £1.75 per hour. utter extortion. avoid at any cost.

fraud and rip off

i sent them my no claims bonus proof 5 times and they never updated their system and kept taking money from my account every month and then not accepting it.i have reported them to trading standards Reviewed on: 29th June 2021

Worse insurance company

My first impression was good company but they are not good at all. One minute they are saying one things second minute completely different. I wouldn’t trust this company as insurance company. They are trying to take your hard earned money Reviewed on: 25th March 2021

High recommended car insurance Pay as you go...Maximum flexibility

Excellent customer care and good service will recommend to anyone.Partnered with : Uber.UberEats,deliveroo,JustEat.... Use code to get £10 credit on your zego account : RJO2SA Reviewed on: 7th April 2020

Super easy to use

Excellent for an hoc 2nd income as my job in the NHS only just about covers the rent. Recently started using Zego Food delivery insurance for my Uber Eats but can be used alongside Deliveroo and Just Eat. They were the cheapest and the easiest and a nice simple pay as you go insurance for food delivery which charges you per hour, which is great if you are doing food delivery as a part time job.. So basically, when you are online with your Uber delivery account, Zego automatically kicks in and you are automatically covered. USE referal code RJMLP1 and you will receive £10 towards your zego insurance. Reviewed on: 17th February 2020
