5* experience

I was very pleased with my experience renewing my Motor Insurance over the phone. A lovely lady named Bernadette put me at ease, altered my cover, sorted out payment and renewed cover. She was a pleasure to do business with, knowing her job inside out. Thank you Bernadette.

My voluntary excess was reduced by £500 thanks to fantastic customer service from Dave, who suggested putting in a lower amount than the one I had used the previous year. The premium stayed exactly the same!!

Unfortunately I was unable to renew my policy online, but this ultimately ended up being a positive experience.
I was assisted by a customer services representative called Dave, who was not only helpful and effective, quickly resolving the issue, but also an absolute pleasure to talk to. I may even end up asking him to fix my gate...everybody needs a Dave!

Customer service benchmark provided by Lynn

Excellent customer support from Lynn, who covered my query and helped resolve my update issues and more, treating me with respect and actively listening throughout. Lynn provided a follow-up call and left me clear messages when not there, ensuring I didn't lose out on anything relating my cover or the service, ending up saving me money. Finances aside I appreciated the fact that I was dealt with by an experienced person who knows how to take the time to deal with me as a human being.
