I was very impressed with the level of cover offered on the car insurance with 1st Central ~ and it was the cheapest out there by a significant margin! However even without me changing any details, the quote kept changing price - in the end, I had to pay more than was initially quoted 1 hour earlier...maybe I was just too slow but that was a little bit frustrating to have seen a cheaper deal but for it to have gone in the space of 30-45 minutes but hey!

It was ok, however I was unimpressed by the fact that I wasn’t told that having called and going through the policy was already considered as acceptance of terms and conditions.

Been a customer for 5 years now and renewed with yourselves every year, but this time around i needed to add a SP30 conviction and after doing so the price went up quite a bit, i noticed my no claims bonus had reset to 0 and would not allow me to put my 5 years ncb back on, i ended up having to start a new policy as a new customer which was more expensive than my original quote, i have now renewed but was disappointed at the increase in price.

Ok wouldn’t let me select the payment date as the 28th when purchased on line so I’m going to have to ring to get it updated.

Well I have taken out your policy. Only the next year will tell if it is any good. Hopefully I won't need to use it. The policy offered what I wanted so we will see.

Moved from on-Street parking in London to a garaged car in rural Hampshire. Upon updating my circumstances, 1st Central offered me a £20 reduction on the yearly policy. I cancelled the policy, took out a new policy with 1st Central, and saved £225 pounds on the yearly premium. Please explain.

Total amount paid should be confirmed via email. Did not give me any details of which number to contact if I have a break down from RAC which I purchased with my insurance.

The website is not very mobile friendly . Some of the items appear in random places in page and when trying to go back and edit your details the “Continue” button stops working . The website needs some work done as it doesn’t work or look as it supposed to.

They offer 14 day money back if you cancel policy within 14 days of paying, however they don't tell you in big letters like they do for their 14 day money back that they charge £50 admin fee which other companies don't charge.

It's really to early to give any kind of review on your company.. The first impression is OK..

Price Very good which is why I selected, service good. However the £50 admin charge within the 14 day cooling off period I think is out of order. Shame because other than that they would have had 5*

Went through the money supermarket site and 1st central came up as the best choice for saving money. I will be buying from them at the end of this month so I can’t comment yet, but so far, I’ve read a lot of positive comments and feedback about them
