Very good price for existing customer. My only minor criticism is that I would have liked it a week or so earlier.

Excellent and swift customer service

Excellent and swift customer service. I had cancelled my policy due to selling my car, however, was insuring a new car so should have just done a change of details. The advisor was super helpful, cancelled the cancellation and gave me a quote for my new vehicle without any fuss or delay. Thanks so much again Grove and Dean, great work and I'm a very happy customer

Helpful once you get through

Helpful once you get through, took me a few times and waited over 20minutes a time as a new customer. You did allow me to make a bank transfer as I was as waiting for my new card.
The price is great. The lad on the phone, I could hear him as he thought I put the phone down and he sighed heavily as though he was bored. But all in all great. Highlighting these things to help not to complain.
