“Been with lancaster for a good few years now even though my premium went up slightly each year. 2023 i payed just over £350, 2024 they want over £1000. Not a chance!”

“Insured my car with Lancaster 2022-2023. Found cheaper cover elsewhere for 2023-2024. Just had an email from them so out of curiosity filled in form. Quote was over £800. I'd already used Compare The Market and had a quote of £320. Needless to say I won't be using Lancaster.”

“Extremely disappointed and amazed that I have sold my classic car within 6 months of new insurance and expected after many years with Lancaster that I would get a refund, but not a penny. Regret now that I had recommended them to the new buyer who did actually insure the car with them! Be aware folks.”

“Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. No online facilities and almost impossible to get through to, then if you do, they can never help, you’re told someone will call you back, and surprise surprise no one does.”

“Be warned - if you insure your car annually with Lancaster Insurance and then have to cancel 50 days into your policy because you change your car and they won't insure it, you won't be due a refund. They just tell you it's tough luck and refer you endlessly to their terms and conditions. I won't be insuring any of my vehicles with Lancaster Insurance again.”

“I took out an insurance policy with Lancaster Insurance company for £108. When I cancelled after 26 days, due to selling my car, I got zero refund. Ripped off! I will never use them again.”

“Terrible company to deal with. Ended up being charged the full year amount for 86 days cover after cancelling the policy due to sale of the vehicle. They only 'refunded' 6 months of the premium for 86 days cover and then the cancellation charge convieniently was exactly the amount of that 'refund'. Will never use for any of my vehicles again.”

“Took out the insurance paid for the year, cheap but I have an old car so suited me. Only to be told could not use ncb then told no refund and they were doing me a favour by not charging a cancellation fee. It was them that wanted to charge more money and again me out of pocket, beware and check your no claims bonus is valid with them??”

“Someone suggested I insure my car as a classic and Lancaster was the first firm that came up. I did the on-line quote form and the result was nearly double what I am paying via a normal insurance. Within seconds someone was on the phone to me, hassling for the business and saying that they might be able to get the quote down to match my company. I asked why, if that was so, the quote didn't give that figure. No real response. A minute after I'd put the phone down, another rep from the firm called, saying much the same thing and again with no reason why the quote was so high. I imagine if I'd had the first year at the negotiated rate, the second would be much higher. All sounded very dodgy. Wouldn't dream of using them.”

“Expensive rip off merchants.”

“I had to pay an extra £60 on top of my annual quote as they said my no claims discount of 22 years couldn't be awarded as my per my no claims discount award or I would have to work my way back over all these years to prove it. As their insurance was less than £140 I happily paid up as they said during this conversation they didn't work that way and when my insurance would be up for renewal my NCB would add on each subsequent year. Here I am a year later claim free with 9+ years discount and a renewal quote of over £850”
