Good customer service and easy sign up, not made a claim so cannot comment on this
Signing up was easy, straight forward and simple.
Their customer service was great as I had a small issue regarding the insurance, they cleared it up and I was ready to go.
Regarding the claims, I have not made any so I cannot comment on this, but their sign up process and customer service was great.

I had my original review removed seems like they have a positive rating because they understand how to use the trust pilot system!
Captain cover service did not provide a quick turnaround on the repair service 5-7 days quoted.
They did not offer an alternative repair service.
I have since found that I can get the repair done by taking the device to a repair centre and they will turn it around in 1 hour!

Shocking service
Really shock with the fact that I had to send my phone off myself to be fix. This is the first insurance company I know that doesn't offer replacement phones right away or send someone to pick up the broken. It's been over a week and still no phone. Had to buy a cheap replacement which doesn't have all the function that I need for my work. I work has been greatly effected. I won't be renewing my insurance with captain cover again and won't recommend captain cover to any of my friends.

Massive price hike on renewal !!!
Massive price hike on renewal probably hoping for automatic acceptance. Got 20% off with a phone call but this is just trying it on & there is no reason for it.

Not really had insurance before for phone but had it last year and the process and dealing with the company is exceptional.
Paying claims by cheque is a bit old school though.
