I was checking I had breakdown insurance as not showing on docs even though I specifically requested the cover. I rang up to be told that extra. I rang again as still couldn't see it only to be told that covered at no cost but documentation incorrect

I was please initial, but when my renewal became due I received an email saying “my insurer was not going to re~new my policy without any other explanation…… With this I didn’t have a choice but to go elsewhere. I got a competitive quote and signed up. Grove and Dean proceeded to charge me £900 on my credit card. Then they said I asked for a month’s extension…. I didn’t and clearly there was no reason for me to request this facility. They had the cheek to ask me to provide evidence of this ! So all in all it seems that things went very haywire? Hopefully this was a glitch for some reason and at the end of the day they are probably a very good company, but we all have to be vigilant and make sure everything is in order with any company we deal with. I now take screenshots of everything at all times. Be aware that you need to make a record of any forms you fill in on line because mostly you don’t get a copy and that needs to change,

Been insured with them for years but the price increase for my next year of car insurance was too high, phoned to query this and the attitude of the staff member I spoke to was awful. Didn’t try to keep me as a customer although I’ve been insured with this company for five years no claims. Understandably prices are increasing everywhere but I didn’t appreciate the manner in which I was spoken to. Seems they don’t actually care about customer service.

Never had to make a claim so cannot comment on that aspect of company. Sent renewal notice promptly. However I did ask for a hard copy to be sent to me. Young lady said she would but never received it

Good price for the first year, but got charged more when I submitted my agreed value form, which i was told would last for three years, so thought it might be worth the extra cost. When it came to renewal, the price had gone up a bit and the underwriter changed, excess was more too. Decided to renew because I had the agreed value, only to be told afterwards that I had to submit another agreed value application because the underwriter had changed, but it would be free of charge. I submitted the forms again, same ones & information I had previously submitted and then got told I had to pay more because I hadn't previously declared the 5 speed gear box, which I obviously had when I previously sent in the forms as well as when I originally took out the first policy. Anyway, all MGB's have a five speed box, i.e. 4 forward gears and overdrive. Luckily, my policy hadn't started, so due to all the mis information and unhelpful staff, I decided to cancel the renewal, got a full refund and went elsewhere for my insurance.

Been with Grove & Dean years. This renewal though, was something else. The price and add on costs were horrendous. So, I had to do it myself even though I was ill and ended up hospitalised. I could have done without that if Grove & Dean had been reasonable.

It is no surprise to me that Grove & Dean followed suit in pushing people into financial turmoil with unacceptable price hikes. There was no need. At all. One of the plus points to owning a camper van was paying a lower insurance price because after all, it is generally driven a lot less than a car and is usually a persons second vehicle..... Now, it costs the same as a car to insure. With this changing world where freedom to move around is being restricted, Grove & Dean have proven they are focused on the same thing as all the rest; Profit not people.... Ultimately it will be the same everywhere, so here I am, but I hope some day to find at least one company who will freeze prices in hard times because a couple of years without profit is not a loss, its heroic.

Very difficult to actually get in touch with a person to speak to. Waited on the phone for over 4hours at different times, attempting to contact. (Approx 45 mins per call to no avail):

Last year's insurers, Aviva, wanted to double my premium (100% increase). I settled on Grove & Dean for a 40% increase and have rated 3 stars because the value will be determined by the way they treat clients and deal with claims, etc. which remains to be seen. Needless to say I am very disappointed with the market prices increasing when I have an unblemished record going back over 20 years.

They do the job but didn't like their attitude. Unpleasant when asking, demanding, a photo of my bike in it's garage, as if they had been asking for this for weeks. Watch out for the £50 cost for every change and even to cancel during the cooling off period. Won't use them again.

When you can finally get to speak to real person the service is quite good but waiting 30 minutes to speak to an agent detracts from the good service you get when being dealt with.
