I had an excellent experience with the support I received from Sara Henderson. She was professional, patient, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. Sara took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explained everything in a clear and easy-to-understand way, and made sure all my questions were answered.
What impressed me most was her friendly attitude and genuine willingness to help. She handled my issue quickly and efficiently, which made the whole process stress-free. It’s rare to receive customer service that is both knowledgeable and compassionate, but Sara delivered exactly that.
I truly appreciate her outstanding support and dedication. She is a real credit to the company, and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance. Thank you, Sara, for making this such a positive experience! Again, Thank you so much Sara

An unreliable insurance company

An unreliable insurance company. My windscreen replacement was denied and I wasn't informed that I don't have excess on it. Avoid this insurance company by all means as others are better

Sarah Henderson is brilliant - 5 stars
Very knowledgeble, very helpful. Explained everything well and im happy with the terms of the policy. Good on Collingwood to change the exit structure to be less of a finanacial pitfall for customers who need to end the policy early!

Caution for Learner Drivers
I found the premium quoted to insure my learner son to be competitive however, once he passed I used live chat to ask about a change to the policy. They don't insure new drivers and cancelled the policy immediately while I was on on live chat so I as a named driver was also not insured. I asked about a refund for the balance of the premium; there is no refund after month 6 of the policy! Maybe the premium wasn't that competitive after all.

I took out taxi insurance through these using riviera brokers, I had a fault accident year before with no persons injured. So my premium went up an extra 2000 pound from year before, I later realised that collingwood had the fault accident recorded with persons injured. Everywhere I have read has said that will most definitely bump my insurance up more than with persons not injured as with persons injured is a more serious offence but collingwood does not agree and says it wouldnt have made a difference so I have to just except their word for it

Hi Nic,
Thanks for providing information to help us identify your Collingwood Insurance policy.
Whilst I appreciate your frustration with having a claim on your record from a previous policy, this is something that’s outside of our control when calculating your premium. When logging a claim, we don’t take any other details other than whether it was a fault or non-fault, therefore whether there was injuries to a third party as a result of the claim would not be a consideration when calculating the premium for your policy. We attempt to be open and honest when presenting figures to our customers before purchase to help them make an informed choice as to whether the policy will be suitable for their needs.
We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed by the increase your previous claim has made to your policy, and hope that you remain claim free with Collingwood. Of course, in the event that you do have to make a claim, our team will be only too happy to help you through that process.
If you would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards,
The Collingwood Team
