Hi, thank you for your review. The majority of our customers respond positively to the time and effort saved with our auto-renewals, but we appreciate it's not for everyone. Which is why you can opt out any time during the year. You should have had an email from us three weeks before your renewal with the quote from your current insurer, and instructions on what to do if you don't want to proceed with it. You can also call our UK team at any time for immediate help on 0333 014 6683. We're sorry to see you go and wish you all the best.

Hi David, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're keen to look into it for you and so have requested your details. We're very sorry to hear you've now cancelled your policy but we appreciate you sharing your honest feedback with us.

The member of staff was patient and polite, he tried to explain the different types of insurance policies. However, it would be helpful to be sent the information on different products, so that you can read and understant before paying. Overall the service was excellent, price fair and staff very helpful.

Worst insurance company I have ever dealt with.
I contacted them to cancel my auto-renewal (which I don't believe I had automatically signed up for) It took them 2 weeks to respond. And then they cancelled my policy a week later. Clearly not understanding my instructions to just cancel the auto renewal. I am fortunate that I didn't have to make a claim in the year that I was insured with them. Their response time is just unacceptable.

Stay well clear - awful service
Stay well clear . No one answers the telephone no matter what time they are called . I sent emails to ask for cancellation within the 14 day cooling off period - I finally received a response on the 15th day stating that I was over the 14 days and there for had to pay another month before terminating .
Absolute joke .
EDIT .. The response is untrue , I have not received reimbursement . I have been told via email that the case is now closed , and that no further action will be taken

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear you've been struggling to speak with us. The queue to speak with our UK based team isn't usually more than a few minutes long, (currently less than twenty seconds). Please rest assured that if you sent an email asking to cancel your policy within the fourteen day cooling off period, your refund will be backdated. Wishing you all the best.
Informative and helpful broker

Honest Review... from a loyal customer
Honest review....
Been with this company 35 years, I tried to make a public liability claim for something that I had broken by mistake... Guess what I’m not covered for that, they said check the policy wording , paragraph 1/17/b/c/r/134 !!!!
What a crap company to deal with, has anybody tried ringing them !!! nightmare, passed from here to there and still get the wrong person who doesn’t know anything. If you very lucky you might get through to somebody who seams to be helpful, but then when it gets a bit complicated they just cut you off!! Don't waist your money, they sound cheep, but wont help if you have a problem, give them a wide birth, I wish I had 35 years ago.
