Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers had an excellent experience with this company. Customers frequently found the pricing to be highly competitive, often saving significant amounts compared to previous policies or other providers. The process of obtaining insurance was described as streamlined, easy to use, and straightforward, with many appreciating the clear website layout and user-friendly experience. However, some people were dissatisfied with customer service, reporting difficulties getting through to a human or experiencing unhelpful online chat and phone interactions. A few other people also felt that renewal quotes were unexpectedly high, sometimes double, leading to a perception that existing customers were not valued.

typo mistake on my email…

I made a typo mistake on my email address, two of the letters were the wrong way around so I rang the call centre and the girl didn’t have a clue, also so many other people were talking around her it became difficult to actually have a conversation. Eventually she said nothing could be done.
There was no other option than to cancel the policy which she did straight away.

Thank you for sharing your experience ⭐

We can understand why this left you frustrated. Something as simple as correcting a typo in an email address shouldn't feel difficult, especially when it was just two letters entered the wrong way round.

It's also disappointing to hear that you didn't feel supported when you called, and that the conversation was difficult due to background noise. Being told that cancellation was the only option would understandably leave you with a poor impression of the experience.

Your feedback highlights how important it is that straightforward account changes can be resolved quickly and clearly. If you need to contact us, you can get in touch with our team directly here 👉https://www.aviva.co.uk/help-and-support/contact-us/

Not as simple as you think it will be!

Tried to set up an online policy but couldn't get driving convictions to show on the detailsi entrred, (they don't show if you enter your driving licence number apparently) tried to call to check they had gone through correctly, eventually after lots of frustration got a human who refused to help becauseit was an online policy. If you need any help, not computer literate or don't gave a printer go elsewhere.

Huge -141 negative impact on your Credit Score when you renew policies.

They don’t tell you that every time you open an account with them, and I have 3, that each open costs you -34 points on your Credit Score and each year when policies renew, they delete your account, costing you another -13 points for each closure, and then a further-34 points for each new account they create for you.
For me that was -141 drop in Credit Score for renewing a Car Insurance, House Insurance and a Travel Insurance. I complained to customer service but had no reply.
They should keep your account open for a renewal, not close it. And even worse, adding a new account for a Product! I am a single customer!

Thank you for sharing your experience Sean.

We can understand why this has caused concern. From your perspective, renewing policies should feel seamless, so seeing changes that have affected your credit score, especially across multiple products, would understandably be frustrating.

It's worth noting that if you choose to pay by Direct Debit, this involves a credit agreement, which can have an impact on your credit file. Any issues with payments can affect this further. As the premium and repayment amounts can change each year, a new credit assessment may be required at renewal to make sure the agreement can still be offered based on the updated terms.

We also hear your point about policy renewals and account management. As a customer with multiple products, it's reasonable to expect the process to feel straightforward and transparent. It's disappointing to hear that you didn't receive a response after raising your concerns with customer service.

Your feedback highlights how important clear communication is when it comes to renewals, credit agreements and account changes.

Fast, easy, and completely straightforward!

Excellent service from Aviva! Getting my car insurance sorted was unbelievably fast and straightforward. The website was super easy to navigate, and the whole process took just a few minutes without any unnecessary fuss or long forms. Great value and top-tier efficiency!

Great price

Been with another insurance company for a number of years. After I decided to purchase a newer smaller car I decided to shop around. Well Aviva were £200 cheaper than much previous insurer. No brainer really. Will see if this lasts next year when it comes to renewal.

Hi Martyn, thanks for feeding this back, and for choosing us this year 🙂
We offer a number of products across Aviva, those with us directly, will offer different cover/options to those via a comparison site.
This is then reflected in the premiums offered 🤝

too cumbersome

I am used to online forms but yours is not intelligently designed. There was no obvious way of changing what was insured - eg I no longer needed the extra named driver (who has his own car now), nor do I need cover for driving in Europe. I went over the process several times to see if i could change these but could not.

After having done all that, I was also disapponted to learn that there is apparently no phone support for this policy.

Morning Sebastian,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

It's disappointing to hear that you found the online renewal process difficult to navigate. We appreciate how frustrating it can be when you're unable to make changes to your cover easily, particularly when removing options such as a named driver or European driving cover.

We understand that while many customers are comfortable managing their insurance online, having access to additional support when needed is important.

SHIT

Absolute horseshit compared to the previous version. So many pages not loading within the app. How are you meant to manage your finances when you can't even view them?!?!
