I took out cover for my cat as they said on the proposal that he was covered for an existing condition, wasn't cheap but nonetheless wanted him covered for it, upon reading the policy he actually wasn't covered! I called to question this and he was not covered so I cancelled the policy same day, fair play they refunded all the money no questions

Dear Neil,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We're sorry to hear that you feel our coverage did not meet your expectations regarding pre-existing conditions.

We look at providing pre-existing medical cover, but like most insurance providers we need to go through a quote to establish what level of cover we can offer. Each pets medical situation is unique, and has a different level of seriousness.

After you have declared the conditions on your quote it states whether the pre-existing medical can be covered by us. We try to make it as clear as possible so that you can see this on your quote before proceeding to purchase. On this occasion your pets medical unfortunately declined, and we were not able to include this.

We are happy to hear that the cancellation process was quick and simple, and you are more than welcome to get a quote with us again in the future!


Kind regards,
Kayleigh

Positive Experience on peripheries

Although I have thankfully not found it necessary to make any claims within the last 12 months, so am unable to comment on the most important element of the policy, in respect of cost and renewal my experience has been trouble free and efficient.

My online quote failed

My online quote when retrieved same day could not be confirmed on the website as the payment page would continually loop back even after verify code was entered. I then tried the live chat who suggested I cleared all cookies which just logged me out of the chat session. Then I tried to requote after all cookies cleared only to encounter the same problems. Finally after 45 minutes on the phone the very helpful agent managed to retrieve & confirm the quote even with a very small reduction of the premium. I just hope any claim process is not so fraught in the future. Time will tell but the lifetime existing conditions quote was a decent saving from my existing cover which had skyrocketed under LV after 10 years. Fingers x

Good afternoon Brenton,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I am sorry to hear that your quote process did not run smoothly for you regarding the verification code. When making an online payment, banks may require a verification code to confirm your identity. This is part of a security measure to protect your account from fraud. However, I appreciated this may have been frustrating when trying to purchase your quote with us.

We are happy to hear that an agent retrieved your quote, and you have now been able to take out a policy for your pet's. Thank you for choosing to insure with us, and we welcome you to the Petgevity pack,

Kind regards,
Michele.

Claims are paid promptly and without any complications and they have the best staffing team at their customer centre (especially Pria who is so helpful and professional) Thank you!
