“Do not use. I was guaranteed a good price. Rang up to added ncb to my policy and my policy went up nearly £100. But now I'm stuck for the year. Won't use them again or recommend them. Sharks. I'll be very surprised if I even get my ncb back at the end of the policy.”

“Dont bother, will give you a good quote and then you have to ring the broker and be told they cant do it at that price, wasted 4 hours on this pile of tat only to go on comparethemarket and got it done and dusted within 25 mins, total messers. I would put 0 if possible.”

“South african rip-off merchants. Take £4 off you and then say you have to phone to confirm, then you find out you can't have the low price quote but only the £800 most expensive quote of all the quoted prices. So I say forget it but then I'm told I lose the £4. Do that 100 times a night, not a bad little earner!”

“The guy was speaking in monotone all the way through. He kept asking me some questions 2 or 3 times and got annoyed when i did not know how many miles per year i did, as i've had the van 2yrs, which was mostly through a pandemic. He then gave me a quote, which i used my 7yrs no claim from my car, which was £450 +, where as my insurance quoted £467.04 which i only had 2yrs no claim on. Your company advertises that most people save about £114, than staying with their own insurance. I feel this is a rip off, especially that he asked what my insurance quoted for this year. He took all my details, including my email address, which i don't think you need unless i was to take up your offer of insurance.”

“Less like zero , rude consultants , poor service , lie about the valuation , when you pay full payment. Then call to you and inform about mistakes on web page and you need pay more or if you asking about a full refund , this Company deducted orginal payment by £25.00 as a service fee. ZERO COMPANY , NO TRUST. RUDE STAFF”

“Rip off company. Avoid. I took out a policy, was uncomfortable with the customer service (their behaviour made me concerned it was a scam) so cancelled it within a hour. They ignored the cancellation, contacting me the next day to confirm the policy. When i explained I had cancelled it they advised a £25 fee for the privilege. Insisted it was in the terms and conditions I agreed to. When I asked where I could find a copy of them, they refused to provide and just kept repeating I had ticked a box on the application agreeing to them. Reporting to the FCA”

“Don’t bother, after refusing to insure me as I live in a mobile home which has its own address ( and has had for 15 yrs) it’s the van they insure not the property, then I made a mistake on no claims bonus so they doubled my premium. I paid policy in full and when I cancelled after 4 weeks got back less than half my money. Don’t ever pay in full for a policy, pay monthly cause if you need to cancel you won’t be stitched up.”

“I used van compare for 3 months when I exited the contract after selling my van they charged me double what the policy was worth, I have requested an itemized breakdown of why there are extra fees and they refused, When I explain the mathematical amount for 3 months plus cancelation fee is less than theyre charge they just read a script and do not supply information requested, from experience I would say they rip people off and hide behind legal terminology. AVOID THEM”

“Dreadful. I bought a policy today and wanted to cancel, after they increased the premium by £300. My instruction to cancel was 20 minutes after the deposit was paid. They flout the cooling off period as stated in the Consumer Act and charge you £25.00, should you wish to cancel. I have had no written confirmation from them regarding this policy, nor anything regarding my instruction to cancel. I do not even have a policy number, but they have my deposit of £ 159. Reported to the financial ombudsman.”

“Stay clear of this cowboy firm. They wanted an extra £10 a month just so i can comute to work in my van, eventhough i already told them it was to comute in. Then they tried billing me £75 cancellation fee when the policy was only 12hours old. Had to pay £32 in the end. Bunch of jokers.”

“Typed all my details into the website, got an instant phone call saying they can do it cheaper than the website. Transferred me to another company which I had never heard of who then asked for ALL of my details. Firstly, I did not give you permission to call me (I stated email only on the contact info) and whats the point of giving all my details if you ignore them and pass me round to someone else. No thanks.”
