They take your money and secretly try cancel your insurance
Okay where to start. Do not use this insurance. First they do send you emails randomly and if you dont reply they threaten to cancel your insurance within a few days
Then they have told me that they have lost all my private documents and this is not a breach of GDPR thats because they can't find then on the system. Which is crazy.
Then they have asked for me to provide proof of address. From a council house tenant agreement, or a mortgage document. And then they have said after they asked for some document from the police and the HMRC and a drivers license and a bank statement as well as a tour of my house these are not valid forms of proof of address and the going to cancel my insurance.
From all the 1 star reviews i have read they are all true. They will lose your documents lie and try take your money and security try cancel your insurance.
Con artists
Avoid at all costs. Paid for car insurance. Prima asked for more money after policy was issued, but couldn't validate why they wanted £89 more. I suspect they were running low on revenue, but the cheek...Cancelled my insurance with them, went elsewhere, and was cheaper anyway. Poor customer service, no explanation, and apologies received for their mishap.
simple and straight forward and quick

Loyalty Punished With Higher Prices
I stayed with Prima for 2 years, maintained a completely clean record without a single accident, claim, or even a scratch on my car, yet my premium kept increasing year after year.
At some point it becomes obvious what’s happening: they rely on loyal customers not noticing or not bothering to switch. Instead of rewarding responsible drivers, they punish loyalty with inflated renewals.
I can accept reasonable increases, but not pricing practices that feel deliberately exploitative and disconnected from customer history.
Needless to say, I cancelled my renewal and moved elsewhere. Trust is important in insurance, and Prima completely lost mine.

Will not renew my policy
I have been told that Prima will not renew my policy in June 2026 due to 1 of 4 reasons:-
1. Where I live
2. What I do for a living (I have been retired for 20 years)
3. Where I drive
4. Claims History ( I have not made a claim for at leasr 20 years)
They have told me that it is nothing to do with my age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrible customer service
Terrible customer service
Does not understand basic conversation. Does not read what you’re typing to them and just types random responses. Asked me the same question three times, almost cancelled my policy twice.
Absolute liability. Will not be using this company again.

8 weeks after failing to insure me- they agreed a policy then found a letter from a previous insurer saying I had made a claim( no I reported a scratch) Prima have concluded that a) they are right to hike the premium by £171 per annum, b) ignore the previous insurers letter, c) totally rely upon mindless chat bots, d) never answer the phone and e) never acknowledge any fault- imagine what a claim would be like. In the pantheon of dismal insurers, bad service and total lack of any responsibility this lot should be avoided they are by far the worst and give " cowboys" a bad name - shockers and waistralls to be sure!
