Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 418 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the excellent prices and value for money, often highlighting how straightforward and efficient the process is to get coverage. Many appreciate the user-friendly website and the ease of setting up policies, with several noting the comprehensive range of cover options available. However, some customers were dissatisfied with the renewal process, finding renewal quotes to be excessively high compared to new policies or even new quotes for themselves. A few people also mentioned high administration fees for policy changes, which they felt were disproportionate to the service provided.

Customer service is dreadful

Customer service is dreadful - anytime you send an email, a reply or quick question to an existing chain, then your message joins the back of the queue and they reply in 5 days. I had to message the Cycleplan linkedin account to beg for someone to reply. The entire process took ages, only reason the review isn't one star is because they actually paid some money eventually. AVOID

Hi Lewis, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and we understand how frustrating delays can be and we apologise that our response time fell short here.

We’re continuing to review how we handle enquiries so we can respond more quickly, particularly during busy periods. Although the issue was resolved in the end, we recognise it took longer than it should have. I did try to have a quick look to see if I could find any correspondence which may relate to yourself in our inbox but due to the lack of information I have, I wasn't able to locate anything. 

If you would like to discuss this or anything else further, please contact us on https://help.cycleplan.co.uk/hc/en-gb/requests/new so we can discuss your renewal quote with you.

Kind Regards,

The Cycleplan Team

The service is pretty slick, and thankfully I have not had cause to claim. But the price hike this was significant, despite my 3rd year of no claims

Hello Angela, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. 

I am sorry to hear that you feel this way, our prices may not be for everyone but we would always encourage our customers to contact us if they feel this way so we can discuss it further and see what we can do.

Just to clarify, the cheaper price you’re referring to is due to our special introductory offer for new customers, you will have received this during your first year with us. This is why the discounted rate is shown on our website for new members.

When your policy comes up for renewal, the discount will unfortunately end, as it’s only available for the first year. This is because our underwriters provide this offer exclusively to new members, and after that initial period, the policy moves to the standard pricing.

If you would like to discuss this or anything else further, please contact us on https://help.cycleplan.co.uk/hc/en-gb/requests/new so we can discuss your renewal quote with you.

Kind Regards,

The Cycleplan Team

Hi Craig, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I’m really sorry to hear about your experience and I completely understand how frustrating this must have been.

I can see that you spoke with my colleague Alicia, who did everything she could to look at the available options for your renewal. On this occasion, the renewal price offered was the best we were able to provide. Due to price capping rules, applying an additional discount would have actually increased the price, which meant there were no further changes we could make.

I appreciate that this isn’t the outcome you were hoping for. Unfortunately, when price capping applies, it can limit how much flexibility we have with discounts, even when we’d like to do more to help.

I’m sorry we weren’t able to offer you a better price this time, but I do hope you’ve since been able to find cover that works for you.

If you’d like to discuss this further or need any additional support, please feel free to contact us via https://help.cycleplan.co.uk/hc/en-gb/requests/new and one of our advisors will be happy to help.

Kind regards,
The Cycleplan Team

Very good customer service from friendly professional staff. Good value premiums and easy on line quote processes. A nice touch is the refer a friend scheme.
Highly recommended, I hope I never have to claim, but the policy gives good peace of mind if you have to.
