Wouldn’t accept certificate return by email!
When cancelling the Policy before inception (as cheaper elsewhere), Hughes asked me to send the Certificate of Insurance back - yet they would have accepted a certificate “returned” by email if my communication preference was “email”! They wouldn’t amend my preference solely to “return” the Certificate, so I ended-up returning by post plus email - quite a charade to appease her in order to obtain my full refund!
Generally, the lady was stringent, pretty unhelpful and inflexible - not really Customer Oriented.
Probably better to go for a multi-car policy for larger discounts elsewhere.
