Limited customer service

I've held my licence for over 30yrs and have NCD of over a decade. I'm also I'm an advanced driver and have a tracker with a subscription service fitted to my vehicle and these clowns can't provide a quote and give no reason as to why. Absolute joke!

Update

Since submitting my Trustpilot review I have had a response from Brentacre and it is this they reference in their response to the review. I have increased my rating from 1 to 3 starts and changed the title from non-existent to limited customer service because Emily did respond relatively quickly albeit not quick enough because my review had already been submitted.

I remain dissatisfied with their inability to provide a quote. It is akin to a sub-prime lender refusing to grant a loan to a person with an excellent credit history. i.e. It makes very little sense.

I acknowledge that Brentacre are the brokers and not the ultimate insurers. That said, I received details of the types of reasons a quote might not be given. This is of limited use to me as I would need too know exactly why I have been declined a quote so if it is because I have just bought the car, that should be cited as THE reason, if it is because the car is not modified at the moment then tell me that, if it is something else then again tell me. Make your feedback specific to me and my application so that you ensure you treat your customer fairly

We’re disappointed to read this feedback, as the position was explained in detail by our admin team earlier this morning.

We take all quotation requests seriously and every enquiry is reviewed against our insurers’ underwriting criteria. In this instance, we were unable to place cover after reviewing the information provided, and the reasons for this were outlined at the time.

As a specialist broker, we work with a limited panel of insurers and are not able to offer terms in every case, even where a driver has a strong driving history or enhanced security. Underwriting decisions are based on multiple rating factors and sit solely with insurers.

While we understand this outcome is frustrating, it does not prevent us from reviewing the risk again in the future should circumstances or insurer criteria change.

Absolutely fantastic company

I have used Brentacre for all of my car and vans for many years and I'll continue to do so. The ease of dealing with staff when delivering or altering modifications is fantastic along with very competitive pricing. Thanks for the great service and many years of comfort I'm insured with the best.

I've used Brentacre for a lot of years on and off and can highly recommend them for converted vans. The price is always fair and the customer service is very good. This year my renewal price actually went down by £50 !! Thanks.

First time campervan insurance

First time using Brentacre as we just bought a Campervan and they were recommended to me - I will now recommend them to others as they were excellent to deal with across multiple people. Thanks!

Modified policy

Had to obtain a modified policy for my car. Dan ran through everything from start to finish and also helped me understand how an agreed value would work. Good knowledge and great advice. Highly recommend.

Dissapointed

Was with Brentacre for 6 years and they consistently gave me the cheapest price for insurance. In that time I had 2 claims, 1 where my car was written off. However, this year they couldn't offer renewal due to me making a claim in 2025 for a replacement key on the key cover I had. Made me laugh because I had 2 car claims but they draw the line at a car key claim. I understand the insurers have criteria etc. However, Brentacre didn't even bother to offer any alternative or try and get another quote and basically said look elsewhere.

Hi Ranjit,
Thank you for being a loyal customer with us for six years, we really appreciate that.
We understand why this feels frustrating.
Unfortunately, insurer criteria around overall claims frequency can sometimes prevent renewal, regardless of how minor an individual claim may be.
We’re sorry we weren’t able to offer an alternative on this occasion, but we’d be happy to help again in the future should circumstances change.

Insured for Several Years 5*

I have been insured with Brentacre for several years, and they continue to be the best modified car insurance company out there. Their pricing is consistently competitive, and their professional team makes the whole process simple and stress-free when declaring modifications. It's reassuring to deal with specialists who genuinely understand modified vehicles and provide reliable cover you can trust. Highly recommended!

First time Campervan insurance…

First time getting Campervan insurance and after a recommendation to try Brentacre I put in a quote request. They followed up very quickly and everything was very clear - I dealt with several people there and each time they were super friendly, polite and helpful. Very happy to recommend them and will use again.

Extremely happy with my experience with Brentacre. I spoke to Ben, who was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The quote was also considerably better than my existing insurer. It was made clear what additional paperwork needed to be submitted and again Brentacre were helpful with this.

Fantastic service from start to finish

Fantastic service from start to finish. They are reasonable and very understanding on modified cars and the whole process is seamless with no stress. The usual insurance companies on comparison sites have no clue about modified cars and their risk assessment is absolutely ridiculous and we end up paying through the roof, but Bentacre understands the market and the industry very well to be able to offer fantastic services at reasonable premiums.
