First time with Hughes and I recommend trying them for your car insurance

Like everyone I want to know what I am paying is reasonable, the cover is adequate, customer service and understanding is paramount, and ease of transaction and communication is of extreme importance.
I believe all this was achieved by first obtaining an online quote which I then used to discuss my requirements directly with Mathew, a Hughes representative, who acted professionally, courteous, and remained focused on ensuring my concerns and requirements were addressed, and secured me an acceptable quote/cover.

Rang as I got a text reminder of home insurance options in August on back of a call to me some time previous when I advised my insurance was up for renewal Sep probably whilst dealing with car insurance. The girl I spoke with was great providing me with all the information and costs for a new provider saving me £1000 on my current provider with similar / right for me cover. I was taken through all the questions , info etc…with ease. The girl was professional and polite and all was completed in a reasonable time. Previously it has been daunting to embark on especially if cold call. Reminder came at good time and gave me some time to think and set aside time to dedicate to dealing with this and getting a much better deal for cover we needed.
