“It isn't that Van Compare have poor customer service, but that all insurers rip off even well behaved motorists. I've been driving since the late 1980's and have never made a claim. I have been van sharing for some years, being kinder to the environment in doing so, and last had my own policy, with van compare 3 1/2 years ago, and have been a named driver on another van compare policy since. Now that I have to take out my own policy again I am being effectively fined with a policy more than double what I should be paying as I have lost my 9 years no claims. This amounts to more than I pay for gas and electricity per year! You'd think Van compare would do something about this unfairness, but they say their hands are tied on this as they are just the brokers. If we want to encourage people to van and car share to reduce emissions, the insurance industries urgently need to change their policies on this. Meanwhile this particular customer feels shafted.”

“Good friendly chat with the person I dealt with. No fuss, just got the job done at a reasonable price. I could of the van insurance a bit cheaper elsewhere but these seemed a straightforward company to deal with.”

“Millicent was very helpful and patient. I would have given you as a company 5 stars but I have one negative comment to make. Having just completed a reasonably detailed on-line application form, it is disappointing to have to go through so many of the same questions again. Then there is the tedious recorded disclaimer message at the end. I didn't listen to it as I am sure most people don't, surely there is a better way of getting these messages across. Under GDPR and plain English regulations, I can see this mechanism being challenged in court at some time in the future!”

“They are the worst company you can get a quote with, customer service if I could give - 5 stars, they are rude and try to get every single penny from you. Never ever had such a bad experience like this before. Never going to recommend to anyone as well I felt I was a criminal on the phone the way the treat me because they couldn’t match the same price from online. Over £200 more than the actual online price very poor experience.”

“Poor service, when I rang to cancel Van insurance I was put on hold 3 times and cut off, spending over 40 mins on the phone in total. Obviously a ploy that the very uninterested staff are taught to annoy customers lucky enough to discover a decent insurance broker firm.”

“I agree with several other people this company will charge for everything, including adding your no claims bonus. They are quick to call you following an online quote, reassure you they can sort things out easily but don’t tell you they charge for anything possible. If you only do one thing today make sure its not using this company !!!”
