Agreed this years premium and paid in full. Didn't notice the email they sent me later saying that they had underquoted and were charging me £20 extra. Only noticed when I checked my account weeks later. By then too late to cancel. Always dealt with them by phone, could they not have called if there was a problem. Been with them a few years now but will not be renewing. Buyers beware.

Web site looks good seems simple to use until you try. I filled in details on first page and couldn’t progress any further for no reason, tried phoning for a quote and could grasp what I was being told nor could the telephone operator understand my regional accent. I’ve since gotten insurance elsewhere

Hi there not happy at all i done the insurance application online and answered all the questions was quoted £470 i validated the policy online. Then i got text after text message telling me to call to validate the policy,starting from the begining again when it came to the question do you have any convictions i said yes one SP30 he said you did not tell us about the SP30 online and i did he then said would have to re quote again and it was a further £85 this SP30 has never increased or affected any other insurance premium that i have before including van compare before and have looked in to it and as far as i am aware it does not affect the premium cost. So no not happy at all and mayaby within the next few days after further investigation cancel with you i await you reply Mr Donald mac kinnon

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.

Hi Robin, Thank you for your Feedback, I have checked you policy and I can see that our Sales Executive has made you aware of why there was an increase to the original quote you had done online. If you would like to gain a further understanding of the reason for the increased premium please email us at sales@bismail.co.uk and we would be happy to assist. Regards Nichola

Had to keep re-sending information as kept saying they hadn’t received it. Asked for a lot of information that is normally available on the insurance database. Got my driving history wrong even after viewing my driving licence online. Need to updat their servi e. Very stressful taking out insurance with them wish I had just gone with other company.

Far from happy with all the extra hassle. I had to send you photo proof of my driving licence. Utility bill. Passport. Photograph of myself. Then that wasnt good enough. I was asked to take photos of both sides of my driving licence.... Ive been with you a few years. Not happy. Will shop around next year.

Had great difficulty contacting customer support on one occasion kept in the phone system for 47 minutes with no response and when I did get through after 5 attempts over 7 days and 5 messages. The issue was only resolved by Annie Mguba using her wonderful personal initiative that resolved the problem. Which was that I could not down load my documents and still have not been able to down load my breakdown docs, but was not willing to go through the same long winded ordeal without bothering Annie as she is the only one who has a genuine interest in the customer in that department, and that includes the supervisor who on 2 occasions was to ring me!!! still waiting?

The questions were over the top for a van that has been insured before for ten or so years and the DVLA thing was a nonsense effectively getting the client to do your job. It would seem that your company was unhappy with the voracity of the Aviva policy and the nine previous insurers. If I wasn't so busy and had not already started the process late I would have binned you as an insurer and gone elsewhere
