Good!!

It was quick and easy to set up and competitive compared to other companies. Adding on or removing extras was straight forward and after reading policy I was assured I was insured for what I required

Excellent service

Excellent service, but too bad that all insurance companies are throttling us with massive increases over the last 2 years. We accident-free drivers are paying through the nose for the sins of the uninsured and accident-prone.

Emailed me telling my renewal was cheaper.

Said it was cheaper in email. I checked it was £400 more. They then gaslight me saying i didn't understand. This is pasted from their email:
"One of our new partners has quoted a better price for your renewal than your existing insurer and we are therefore offering you their price."

Now they have cancelled my policy before it has ended preventing me from getting NCB.

Not bad during the first year of my insurance but I have just received my renewal which is 3 times the price of last year. Just tried to speak to them about it on their chat service but I couldn't get past their chat bot that basically told me to take it or leave it. I left it.
