Great experience let down by dismissive follow up.
Very easy move from my old insurance company to this company.
Easy to understand, helpful and pleasant person on the phone completing the details.
My only criticism would be that after emailing me a request for some information-which i supplied-They failed to answer a couple of questions i asked in relation to their request for information. They simply replied with 'We now have all the information we need' so a little disappointing really. Let down an otherwise text book process.

Look no further… some serious professionals here. Excellent service
I spoke to with the lovely Katie Brock today. She was very prompt with getting me a reasonable quotation for my car insurance and was ever so kind & polite. She understood my situation and explained throughly the policy details that were available. It felt nice to be listened to as I’d been let down by 10+ other brokers who weren’t interested in helping me retrieve a quote. Highly recommended. 5 stars all round for Katie!!

Hello John,
We're sorry that you aren't happy with the validation process. In order to keep our premiums low, many of our insurers require documents to validate your policy and prevent fraud.
I have sent you an email to discuss this in more detail.
