Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 38 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently highlight the competitive pricing, often finding quotes significantly cheaper than other providers, even for younger drivers or those seeking specific coverage without additional requirements like black boxes. The staff are consistently praised for their helpfulness and pleasant demeanor, particularly in live chat interactions. However, some people were dissatisfied with the additional costs when trying to add a driver to their policy. A few other people also felt that the lack of a phone line was an inconvenience, leading to initial interactions with a bot before staff became available.

Hi Jason,

We understand your frustration regarding this situation.

Requests for No Claims Bonus documentation are issued digitally and can also be viewed within the customer portal alongside policy notifications and outstanding requirements. Where requested documents are not provided within the required timeframe, policies may unfortunately be subject to cancellation in line with underwriting requirements.

If you believe you did not receive the communication correctly, please email support@gateinsure.co.uk with your policy reference and our team will be happy to review the notification history with you.

Didn't receive policy instantly but was fixed quickly.

I made a payment, my card was charged, but I never got my policy confirmation until a few hours later when I reached out to support. I got worried at first but support was great and fixed a system error on their side relatively quick. I'll not down-rate it due to that as I'm very happy with everything else.

Hi Meletek,

It means a lot that you still had a positive overall experience, and we truly appreciate your patience and support.

not legit.

most definitely a scam as they have no number to contact, they dont share the underwriter, and i have contact them via their online support and email and asked about the underewriter and they are yet to respond. the final thing would be that i tried paying by credit card incase i was scammed, they just kept refusing it even though i tried multiple cards. STAY AWAY

Hi Moshin,

To clarify, we do provide underwriting insurer information to customers who request it. We simply require a quote reference first so we can identify the specific quotation and underwriting route assigned to it.

If you would still like assistance, please email support@gateinsure.co.uk with your quote reference and we will answer any outstanding queries regarding your quotation.

Regarding the payment issue, repeated payment attempts can sometimes trigger temporary automated security checks from the payment provider, particularly when multiple cards are attempted within a short period. This can result in transactions being declined temporarily even where funds are available.

If you are still interested in proceeding with insurance through us, our team would also be happy to guide you through the payment process directly via email support.
