Easy to use, just answer the questions honestly, job done
Easy to use, quick, and simple! The guidelines say answer the questions honestly so do, they rang to ask a couple of questions and then all completed. No fuss, no bother!

Good experience
Filling the form in was easy to understand. I then spoke to an advisor who made me feel assured that I was getting the insurance required.

A straightforward process
My Insurance for exhibiting at Craft Fairs was arranged very quickly, and in this instance there was no excess on the policy, as there has been with others I looked at. The premium was reasonable.
A few days later , sadly, I began to have doubts about the Craft Fair organisers, and under the 14 day cooling off period I requested that my policy be cancelled. This was straightforward, and I will certainly return to the company if I need similar cover in the future. I can't comment on what transpires if you have to make a claim.
