Great service as always
Great service as always - always get good comms and reminders and all the staff are friendly and helpful - I think the prices are hard to beat - special call out for Richard in Multicar policies, who is knowledgeable, experienced and a great guy to chat to about older vehicles, while the computers are whirling away in the background
Thanks again!

Clunky loading car info and photos
Website for loading up car info is a bit clunky and unfriendly,
Will not accept photos direct taken on a. IPhone and have to figure out how to convert them (being a senior a bit more difficult than expected)

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you felt your enquiry had not been responded to.
Our records show that we received your request to stop cover, and the policy renewal was subsequently cancelled in line with your instructions. Confirmation of the cancellation was then issued to you via email.
We apologise for any confusion regarding the status of your enquiry and understand how frustrating it can be if you are unsure whether your request has been actioned.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations.
