While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Very straight forward

Very straight forward, suggestions along the way with prompts about other considerations I’d not thought of. Actually a pleasure to put my insurance together. I never say that about such things!

Automated

Automated - I would have liked the option to speak to a person rather than build my own plan - I'm not expert. Also I recieved an email today telling me I could still buy my plan when I had already purchased it two days ago. Hopefully I never need to claim, but all feels very automated.
