Email Scammers

Scam emails being sent saying "Thank you for taking out life cover with Cavendish Online" but this is a marketing trick so to make you call them for clarification and then they hard sell.

Informative, Customer Focused Service

Very helpful, attentive and customer focused. Never felt rushed into making a decision and plenty of helpful information was provided which helped me to make an informed choice.

The agent I dealt with was excellent and knew his job well, presenting an excellent knowledge of the subject matter and products being discussed.

Would highly recommend, especially if you want absolute clarity, options, alternatives and detailed explanations on the life insurance policy that you are considering.

Kate Ashton is brilliant

Kate Ashton is brilliant. She managed to get a good Income Protection cover for me. She is very friendly and professional in her approach. I felt very comfortable speaking to her. I would definitely recommend her and Cavendish online.

Great Advice and Communication

After getting told I cannot receie medically underwritten cover, I was worried that I'd have no cover at all.

My details were passed onto Cavendish and Nick contacted me to get the process started. He explained all the options very clearly and answered any questions I had. The contact throughout was brilliant and I ended up with the cover I wanted. Thanks for making the process significantly easier.
