If you are considering insuring with this company do not. You have been warned. In my opinion their claims service is dubious at best, if not worse. They may be slick at take on but in my view act immorally if there is a claim. I make these comments having been involved in the insurance industry for something like 45 years. I insured with this company for something like fifteen years back to back on an annual policy. I then had my first claim. Entirely my fault. The insurers insisted on receiving a document which in my view had no relevamce whatsoever from the Hire Company. The Hire Company declined and/or refused to provide the document. The insurer refused to deal with my claim. After deploying various arguments which I consider morally irreprehensible and involving my bank the Hire Company very generously returned the excess they had charged me which ended my claim. The insurer ought to have paid that money but did not do so. It is my opinion the insurer engaged in pure claims avoidance and acted contrary to treating the customer faily and FCA Regulations; which I intend taking up with the FCA. I knew what I was doing. You will have to judge if this company deploys these tactics against you will you know what to do.
I now insure with an alternative provider and I suggest you do the same if you want security in the event of a claim
Edit
Perhaps I wouldn't be so pleased if the car hire company had refused to provide the documents - but they did, eventually, and after that the payment was very quick.
