Worst company I have ever used. Caught them out many times with pricing where they lack consistency and transparency. Sales staff are rude and clearly need sales training. If they know you want to cancel insurance they will simply increase the cancellation fee for doing so each time you call. I wouldn't go anywhere near them...

Worst Insurance group I have ever used. Complete rip off. A lot more expensive than other insurers. Half of the team have an attitude when they are speaking to you with a serious lack professionalism. Would never use them again.

Quotation given online, no method of paying online which means having to phone them up! Took 25 mins to be connected to an operater (not good if your trying to purchase insurance) Once through to an operater I had legall cover added for £30 per year just to then be told that the price of the policy had rose by over £200 even though all my details were correct and had not changed! Complete rip off company offer good prices just to change them when you try to purchase (they make their money on the very long phone calls that charge top rate)

Gave the advisor the correct information at the start. 3 months later I get an email so I called then up. They tell me that I gave the wrong information. After listening to the call their story is different 5 mine. They are liars. Stay well clear of these conns.

I would say run as fast as you can when this company quotes. I found this company thu confused.com for my husband's car.my husband has nil ncb I input this information on to the system and i called to take up the policy it took the advisor 40 mins to set up the policy dispite all the information been fill in by me . Apparently they gave my husband a discount which I was not told about when taking out the policy . I can't proven proof he was on my policy for 4 years as I don't keep my old insurance paperwork and the company I'm was with are being funny about giving out these information . So emailed them to explain was only told I need to prove proof or the price won't be valid . What they don't know is I'm a ex insurance broker and will be taking them to fca for mis selling a policy .

where do i start opened a policy up with these over a year ago (big mistake) started this policy on a vauxhall zafira had it a year in which time didnt recieve any paperwork from first insurance , as i was getting to the end of my policy i decided to sell the zafira and get a new car only to find that first insurance had auto renewed the policy for the zafira which i no longer owned. as a result of this i am now stuck with a policy that they expect me to pay for cancellation even though i did not get notified or anything when renewing. now on to my new car saab 9 3 2.3 convertable i wanted to insure my saab with them so called them before i bought it they told me £80 a month now i bought the car 4 hours later price is suddenly 107 a month? anyway i decided to do a quote with someone else who i priced me £57 a month for 2 cars my saab and my 1.9 diesel passatt compared to first insurance's price of £192 a month only thing is aviva who were excellent and very cheap priced me £57 a month want proof of no claims which is fair enough but first insurance are refusing to send them in the post. only positive thing about first insurance they are quick to renew actually super quick as its automatic without the customers permision and quick taking payment apart from this i can only assume they are called first insurance because they won 1st place award for worlds worst insurance company.

This company is a rip off. They charge £60 minimum to cancel a policy and an extortionate 2.5% to take credit card payments.
