Quote for renewal

Having received the quote for renewal, I phoned to discuss the price. The agent who took my call was exceedingly helpful and was able to adjust the price below last year's.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Your breakdown cover and car insurance are administered on two separate sites. Your breakdown cover is through the app and your car insurance is through the online self-service center. We will be in contact to help you access this.

Thanks, Rachael

After looking through comparison site quotes for car insurance. I got a quote directly from RAC, which ended up cheaper, and was able to speak to your very helpful customer service agents, they answered my queries, and went through the options, so that I knew what I was purchasing, before making payment, Thank you, great team work.

Hi Ken,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We quote your renewal price around 21 days before the date of the renewal so you can decide if the cover still meets your needs and to confirm if you are still happy with the price to go ahead.

We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the renewal price we have offered this year.

Thanks, Rachael
