Appalling company

Terrible customer service do not insure with them they are unprofessional and do not know what they are doing
Got a new car and was told not to do anything as insurance was going to be transferred to the new car and I payed a whole year of insurance. My car recently got damaged and only now they are telling me that they didn’t transfer the insurance and that I have to pay a fee AGAIN to transfer the insurance it was absolutely horrible I hope no one insures with this company they have horrible workers that have acknowledged they were wrong but YET are still asking us to pay the fee all over again the worker William did not do his job and we are having to pay again absolute disgrace of a company do not go with them

I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received from Geoffrey Insurance.

I renewed my car insurance policy in March, and the policy documentation clearly stated that the cancellation fee would be £60. Recently, I purchased a new vehicle and contacted Geoffrey to update my policy. However, I was informed that they would not insure my new vehicle simply because it is brand new.

As Geoffrey has refused to provide cover for my new vehicle, I find it unfair that I am being charged not only the £60 cancellation fee but also an additional three months’ premium and a further charge of approximately £40, which has not been clearly explained to me.

I feel that I am being unfairly penalised for a situation that is entirely outside of my control. I did not choose to cancel my policy without reason; rather, Geoffrey has declined to insure my replacement vehicle, leaving me with no option but to seek insurance elsewhere.

Hi Jurate,

I'm so sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you've had with your policy change. It's completely understandable that you feel unfairly penalised, especially when you simply wanted to update your cover for a new vehicle.

We always want our pricing and terms to be clear, so it’s disappointing that these extra charges haven't been properly explained to you. We'll be in touch with you to see how we can help look into this situation and get it sorted out.

Hi Yassin,

I am really sorry to hear that you were not happy with your renewal price and the support that you received when you called to query cancelling the policy.

I will check all available options for the price that we have renewed at and contact you to discuss these further.

A complaint put right

Called today to cancel my policy as I have a new car.
The initial conversation was to my horror but after escalating to the complaints team, Kirsty took over with a swift resolution and to be honest, after giving a 1 star at the beginning, I would try and raise that to a 5. But the 1 star is locked in.
Kirsty, you’re entire approach and management is superb.

Disgraceful

No words can do justice as to how bad this insurer is. They charge an extortionate fee to cancel insurance policy, the staff are very rude over the phone and really unclear. Even if they give you the cheapest quote it is definitely not worth insuring yourself with this joke of a company.

Hi Paul,

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand why this situation has left you feeling frustrated. A change in vehicle can sometimes significantly affect the price of a policy, as premiums are based on a range of factors including the car’s insurance group, value, and risk profile. However, we appreciate that such a large increase and your interaction with our team have caused concern.

We will be in touch to look at options available.

The most disgusting

The most disgusting, annoying, frustrating, repetitive, incompetent bunch of time wasting idiots that I have ever come across. As I am trying to deal with this problem, i am so angry, that i am again writing this review on this BS company. I am 1h45mins on trying to change a vehicle on the policy. After speaking with 3 people, all being as incompitent as each other and simply just hanging up the call because they cant do the job. Obviously i am left frustrated. I am picking up my new car at 5 and I cannot get it insured. You are an insurance company, what is it that you find difficult about insuring vehicles? You should be shut down, you should not be a business. You cannot frustrate people like this. I could come in without any training and do better job and give better service than your people are giving now. Absolutely atrocious. You deserve a zero rating.

Hi Saqib,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused while trying to update your policy—especially given the time-sensitive nature of collecting your new vehicle. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.

We understand how stressful this situation must have been, and it’s concerning to hear about the difficulties you faced and the way your calls were handled. Your feedback is important and will be taken seriously.

So we can look into this further, please could you contact us at social@geoffreyinsurance-bisl.co.uk with your details? Our team will review your case and work to put things right. Thank you.

Phone support from Angel was great

I bought a new car and wanted to move my current policy over to it. Sadly their underwriters didn't cover my new car, which is a big one to be fair. I spoke with Angel on the phone, she went through everything with me, was super helpful. The whole process of getting my NCD, cancelling the policy, working out the early termination charges etc was entirely painless and very well explained. I will miss these guys as insurers! They were the cheapest around, answered the phone when you needed to call, and the one time I had to speak with someone I got someone great. Thanks Angel! We've all had customer support experiences are that are mid, but today was friendly, professional, and concise: much appreciated.
