the 'phone.
They were very thorough in taking me through my application.
But a second named driver (for emergencies etc.) should not send up the cost because their voluntary activity might involve them driving there - especially when their driving my car is largely for emergency purposes and not connected with their own voluntary activities.

We also hear your frustration regarding how additional drivers and volunteer usage can impact overall costs, as we know pricing changes like this can feel unexpected.

Very anxious, due to 2023 vandalism on my car. Seem to be paying higher premiums all the time, very unfair. However, Lulu dealt with my anxiety in such a professional manner, hopefully Churchill insurance will send over notice of vandalism, which I will receive a discount, so hopefully that will be the case.

Hidden charges
After allowing me to pay for a policy,I was suddenly charged an extra £200. If there was a query,this should have been followed up before taking payment.

Reply from Autonet Insurance
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the increase to your premium after your policy was arranged. We understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly after payment had already been taken.
When we completed a check of the Claims and Underwriting Exchange (CUE) database, we identified a discrepancy between the claims information recorded and the details provided during the quote process. As a result, the policy premium had to be recalculated, which led to the additional charge.
We appreciate your comments regarding the timing of this and understand your concerns. Your feedback is valuable and will be used to help us review our processes and communications with customers. If you would like to discuss your policy further, please contact our customer service team, who will be happy to assist.

Extremely disappointing experience – policy cancelled with no warning
I am extremely disappointed with the way Autonet have dealt with my car insurance.
After a number of emails and providing Autonet with everything they asked for, I received no telephone call, no warning and no opportunity to resolve the matter. Instead, I was simply sent an email telling me that my car insurance had been cancelled.
The policy started on 19 August 2026 and was cancelled just one day later. I am now left having to arrange alternative insurance at very short notice, despite having done everything that was requested of me.
To make matters worse, Autonet have deducted a £55 cancellation charge from the refund. Their own letter confirms that the insurer provided a refund of £400.01, but Autonet have taken £55, leaving me with £345.01.
What I find particularly unacceptable is the complete lack of communication. If there was a problem with the information I had provided, why not simply pick up the phone and speak to me? Instead, I have been left to sort out new insurance myself, at additional cost and considerable inconvenience.
I have spent time responding to their requests and providing exactly what they asked for, only to have the policy cancelled without any proper warning.
Think very carefully before using Autonet. In my experience, when things went wrong, the communication and customer service were extremely poor, and I have been left out of pocket as a result.
A very frustrating and disappointing experience.

Reply from Autonet Insurance
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration regarding the cancellation of your policy.
We appreciate that having a policy cancelled shortly after inception, particularly after you had provided the requested information, would be both disappointing and inconvenient. We also recognise your concerns around the level of communication you received during the process and the impact this has had on arranging alternative cover.
We aim to keep our customers informed at every stage and are sorry that you feel we did not meet those expectations on this occasion. We take feedback regarding communication seriously and will ensure your comments are passed on to the relevant team for review.
As we are unable to discuss account-specific details publicly, we would welcome the opportunity to review your concerns further. Please contact our Customer Service team with your policy details so that we can investigate the circumstances surrounding the cancellation, the communication sent, and the charges applied to your policy.
We value all customer feedback as it helps us identify areas where we can improve our service. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
Kind regards,
Chris @ Autonet Insurance
