Scammed

Be aware that this company experienced a data breach in May 2024 of which they informed me in March 2025. All my personal information has been stolen. The resolution that they have offered to safeguard myself is woefully inadequate and they seem completely disinterested in my stress and the worry that they have caused. Telephone calls to complain are not answered satisfactory and it is not possible to speak to anyone in authority. Appalling customer service.

I shall not renew any of my policies with this company and am now seeking legal advice.

Excellent service for Horsebox…

Excellent service for Horsebox insurance. Had to make a claim few years ago which was handled very efficiently and sympathetically. Always responded to phone call quickly and effectively. Very pleasant staff

Very disappointing service

Very disappointing service. I am a recent client, but wish I had not given them my business.
They do not reply to communications, always have to be chased, and are generally ridiculously slow in responding. Even then, they do not deal with many of the issues raised.
I dread the possibility of making a claim…

A company that does not give a toss…

A company that does not give a toss about anything except their bottom line. If you expect good service from them, forget it. They insured a car that was crashed into by a drunk driver over 10 weeks ago, and have still NOT BOTHERED to remove the vehicle from outside my property where it is overlapping my driveway. Awful service, avoid at all costs.

WASTE OF TIME…

Spoke a number of times with Chris regarding a home buildings and contents quote. He undertook to provide a quote before our renewal date but didn’t. The renewal date has now past with insurance placed elsewhere. Don’t waste your time with this company

I would definitely recommend County Insurance if you are looking to change insurance companies

We recently made the decision to leave NFU as a vehicle insurance due to the increase in costs, after doing a compare search we came across County Insurance the broker we used was a guy called Arron Maxwell, he was extremely helpful searching the market to find the right deal for our company, which he did.
I would definitely recommend County Insurance if you are looking to change insurance companies, we will be using them again when our Public and Employers Liability is due later in the year.

We have used the county group for our property insurance for many years, we have 13 properties all over the country so it can be pretty complicated! The staff especially Elain Marquis have always been friendly, helpful and of course very competent.

Cancelled insurance

Cancelled insurance, no refund, still paying creditors for insurance I don't have,

Made a claim for glass, they recovered car, lost car, my tracker told me where it was,, picked up car 4 days later, glass not repaired, had to pay myself,

Now told I have to pay for recovery before I get refund, that's blackmail

Kay was excellent throughout

Kay was excellent throughout the process. She kept me informed and was competitive. I would recommend her and would use her for my future insurance purposes.

The help that I received from Olivia Bell from the time of my initial enquiry to the time when she informed me that the Policy and Invoice was to be posted to me, was excellent.

I would certainly recommend The County Group to friends as it is very important for a customer to be treated in a helpful and friendly manner, as I was

Wouldn’t Recommend

Recommended our insurance, when we came to be on the horrendous position of being burgled, the insurance they signposted us to, looked for any way they could avoid paying out. Asked for county’s help and was hardly responded to and forgotten about.

The County Group owners have purchased a number of local insurance brokers over the last few years. They now have a policy of refusing to quote against each other and therefore giving their current customers less choice and higher prices.
IMO this is a cartel.
I have now switched companies.
