Cheapest policy for my car even when adding the legal protection. This beat the renewal policy offers by my existing insurance company.

Imagine being told for a whole month…

Imagine being told for a whole month our system is down and we can’t offer a quote. That is a sign of something fishy! I came here and saw in only 2023 thousands of people having horrific encounter with this company. Thank God i dodged a bullet ,i am deleting them from my list 😂 thank you to everyone for looking out for others

Hi, thanks for your message. Our underwriters have been having capacity issues and hence the reason why we haven't been able to offer you a quote. We are working on getting this rectified, however it is taking much longer than anticipated. If you come on our Live Chat or email hello@joinrooster.co.uk with your details we can confirm when we are in a position to offer you something. Thanks, Emily

Worst insurance or whatever they claim…

Worst insurance or whatever they claim to be that ever exists. You would think as an insurer they would help you when it comes to the things they cover you for such as accidents and emergencies. At my accident they take all my details to then send me a letter the following day on how they are going to refuse my claim as they believe I was using the car for work, when asked to check the calls it turns out they went back back on their decision so I was not in the wrong, they then took 4 months to actually settle my claim I believe trying their best to find an inconsistency to refuse again. Also having made sure I had drive other cars on the policy they then remove this on a sly without any notification of letting me know. Then a car I was driving was seized and I had to pay out of pocket to take from impound and get temp cover with impound insurance and at the fault of Rooster again and it is 5 months now and still I am made to wait for their mistake and a financial loss I incurred. I even got a reply from West Midlands Police to say they have dropped the matter as they can confirm it was the insurers fault. Here I am being made to wait and wait and still to this day NOBODY from rooster has had the decency of recovering my loss. The complaints team is a waste of space. They are so quick to bully you if you ever miss a payment but its is ok for you to be made to look like a fool and they can just make you wait all they want, even in their own errors. Absolutely disgusting, you cannot be a reputable company with this kind of treatment.

Hi, we are sorry to hear you have had delays with your fault claim. As an intermediary, we don't control the claims process but work tirelessly to try and get the best outcome for our customers. Your policy was underwritten by Mulsanne, & whilst we passed on your concerns we cannot comment on their processes or decisions. In general, claims vary in time scale depending upon the circumstances and if any third party is involved, so again we are sorry you felt the process wasn't as quick or smooth as you would have liked.
As you are aware we are in discussion with you and Mulsanne regarding your other issue, however please be assured this is in hand and we hope to have a resolution for you very soon.

Rooster saved my pocket today

My employer requested that I add business insurance to my insurance policy. I thought I would have to pay more and that it’d be expensive but I didn’t have to really. There was no price change and the premium I’m paying at present is half of what I’d ordinarily have to pay with other insurers

I’m very happy with quote I’ve been given. I have also just bought a policy. Very easy to access the app and buy policy. Amazing.

NOT WORTH IT

Did the test drive for 1 month got a really good score and got quoted £107 a month when other companies quoted me 75 a month..

Not worth the hassle

Hi Josh, sorry we couldn't be more competitive, we don't claim to be the cheapest all the time, just fair based predominantly on your test drive results. Thanks for your interest in Rooster. Emily

On 3rd year renewal they demanded price 10 times higher of what I was paying

Worst experience ever
Please do not take their policy if you looking to drive for many years

Dear Hamza, I am sorry to hear we couldn't offer you a competitive quote this year, however I hope we saved you money during your time with us. Due to a change in the way we price risk your premium is now coming in much higher than we would have liked. We are sorry to see you go, however we can still offer you savings on MOTs, servicing, maintenance and fuel all via the app. Freddie

My experience with Rooster Insurance…

My experience with Rooster Insurance has been incredibly disappointing. Despite being a customer for a year, they failed to offer me a renewal quote due to their new underwriters. When I inquired about the reason, their response was unsatisfactory – simply stating that they couldn't provide that information. It's disheartening to be treated this way after being loyal to them. I strongly advise others to steer clear of this insurance company.

Hi Abu, we understand your frustration but hope the saving you made in the year you were with us is some conciliation. The team should have been able to give you some clarification of why we were not able to offer a renewal so please email us at hello@joinrooster.co.uk for more details. Best wishes Team Rooster

Lieing Company

They advertise by saying that the driveing assessment will help you get a cheaper insurance but they operate as any other insurance they just act like they are better by putting on a fake mask like this driving tracking will help you get easier quotes and that but it’s unless they are like them all money suckers

Hi, I am sorry we were not able to offer you a competitive quote. We base our prices predominantly on test drive results and I am sorry we were not able to offer you anything. Thanks however for giving Rooster a go.

Thoroughly impressed

Thoroughly impressed with the process so far, although the test drive period was a little long (probably because I don’t drive every day). It all pays off in the end though and managed to achieve a decent saving compared to other quotes and my previous insurance. The process being fully app-based was great too and made everything so simple.

I'm utterly disappointed

I'm utterly disappointed with my car insurance company's abysmal service. Despite the accident not being my fault, they've failed to provide my well-deserved no claim bonus for the past 4-5 months. Their excuse of "waiting for redirect" is nothing more than a flimsy attempt to shirk responsibility. This ordeal has left me unable to purchase a new car, causing immense stress and frustration. Their incompetence and lack of urgency are truly astounding. Stay away from this company if you value your sanity and your hard-earned money.

While this car insurance company may boast about offering competitive prices, their true colors shine through when it comes to honoring promises. Waiting months for a no claim bonus after an accident that wasn't even my fault is beyond unreasonable. The supposed "best prices" pale in comparison to the frustration and stress caused by their inability to deliver on their commitments. Choosing to stay with this company for the sake of a potential discount is a decision I deeply regret. The toll it's taken on my peace of mind and ability to move forward is not worth any amount of savings.

Hi Hardeep, we are really sorry you have not had a smooth experience with your claim. Whilst no consolation, where multiple parties are involved there can often be delays which are out of our control ( especially if the case of non fault as we are totally reliant on the other parties insurer). We are working closely with our underwriters to ensure we get as much detail as possible on all claims so we can feed it back to our customers to help make the claims process as transparent as possible. Unfortunately we can’t issue a NCD until a claim is closed (this is the same for all intermediaries/insurers), however this should not have any impact on your ability to purchase a new car. The team are reviewing your case to see if there is any more we can do to speed up getting the claim closed and will be in touch directly. Again please accept our apologies. Best wishes Team Rooster

Couldn't offer me a quote due to my car…

Couldn't offer me a quote due to my car and age not fitting the requirements but Jack on the live chat service was great and checked a good few cars for me. 10/10 customer service and gave us a good giggle.

Thanks Jack!

A good idea but implementation could be better in some cases.

Ultimately they couldn’t give me a quote as my profession wasn’t covered. It’s a little annoying having to go through the whole process and not receive a quote as I feel like the idea is good but they could have mentioned that upfront.

Best insurance company!

2nd time taking insurance with Roosters. No words, absolutely amazing company!! Where all other companies failed Roosters went above and beyond to get me the best price. Thanks a million to Jack and the team for their brilliant customer service.

I would always recommend Roosters to anyone!

Worst car insurance ever

Worst car insurance ever. Been with them for 2 years. All of a sudden they increased my renewal price x10 with no reasonable explanation other than change in underwriting. I had no claims with them or accidents. A clean 2 years and they tried everything in their power to prevent me from getting my no claims bonus until they had to. Stay away from them.
