I look the up hughes insurance on line and though it was a good price and it was the cheapest I found on line when I try to purchase it on line it would let me had to ring for the price but when I did ring they had already send me 13 different prices to my phone from the same company hughes I couldn’t believe how many different prices they were quoted me and the price I thought I was getting was not the same one that I had first seen and when I was talking to the broker he said that theses other quotes were all wrong I can’t understand how they were all wrong if they were sent by the same company I took the insurance in the end but I wasn’t to happy with the outcome but it’s the last time I will ever have any dealings with hughes

We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the quotation process. We understand how confusing and frustrating it must have been to receive multiple different quotes and then find that the price you expected was not available when you spoke with us.

Brilliant service

Brilliant service went through the online process and got a good quote. When I rang and quoted the online reference number the advisor went through the policy details with me and managed to save me almost £40 . In my experience a lot of companies are only interested in charging as much as they can. Well done Hughes really excellent service and customer care. James.
