WARNING! THEY TAKE £40 WHEN YOU PASS???
Be careful, considering this is meant to be a temporary insurance while your child learns and passes as quickly as possible, we were shocked to find after my daughter passed her test within the first year, they took a £40 'Cancellation charge" to congratulate her on passing! Nice touch there Collingwood! Grabbing money any which way they can!

Collingwood Insurance Services…
Collingwood Insurance Services punishing young drivers on the very day they pass their test. On what should be a joyful day my son was punished with a £120 cancellation fee! Unjust and disproportionate to the policy! More a punishment than a congratulations! Please Please Please Protect your children from this company and allow them to enjoy this day as they should without corporate punishments. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Good for insuarnce but terrible for actually letting you know about cancelation fee for when PASSING YOUR TEST. Passing your test shlukd feel like a reward but instead it felt like a punishment for it. A very unexplained £40 fee for canceling iw reidiclous and to pay premmiums aswell is ridiclous. Terrible woukdnt recommend.

DO NOT BUY LEARNER INS. IF YOU PLAN PASSING YOUR TEST QUICKLY
I am annoyed I have to even give this company 1 star!
Do not buy learner insurance from this company if you had any intention of passing your test quickly.
I have been charged in total £140.25 for learner driver insurance from 23rd March to 18th April, a total of 26 days!!!!!
