Bought this policy because it was the most cost effective but when I was able to change the vehicle on my car insurance at the click of a button I became VERY impressed, felt more in control than I have with any previous policy and was very pleased that my partner had recommended General Accident.

The only thing I would change is that, sometimes during the course of the year, it would be helpful to be able to discuss a problem on the telephone eg I was changing car and for some reason the new car was shown to be unacceptable to you although this obviously was not the case and, whilst the problem was resolved very professionally by several e-mails, one short telephone call would have made a great difference and given me immediate peace of mind instead of having protracted correspondence over 2 days whilst I was on holiday as, under no circumstances, did I want to have to leave General Accident. I trust this is helpful!

'Not my fault' claim dealt with extremely east despite 3 x cars involved. Repaired well and quickly although some confusion over whether I had /needed 'replacement car' (which I was not signed up for and didn't want). Happy.

Happy with policy. Easy to amend details of policy as I changed my car part way through year.

Happy with my quote last year, obviously chose it because it was the cheapest. Not sure why it was a few hundred £'s cheaper than Aviva though (i thought they were owned by G.A.). Haven't needed to make a claim though so can't comment about that side of service. Will stay with G.A. If quote is reasonable next time round.

I have to say, I have not required to take out an insurance claim - by the looks of the reviews, I will probably never do it. That being said... I have been using GA for 2 years now straight after getting my license and I've had nothing but good things to say. They track my breaking and acceleration and I do admit from roundabouts to 60 roads, I do get marked down. The point system is on a 0-100 scale being monitored on: Speed, Time of day, Smoothness and length of drive. Any time past 10pm and you will get around 50-60 i believe for time of day. everything else for me is usually above 80. My score after 2 years has averaged to 71/100 which is still considered good driving and my premium has gone down. I have had to email when my policy renews as I took it out on 28th but I dont get paid till the end of the month so the money comes out too early. Making this change causes a double payment for the first month, one on 28th and one on the 1st but my last month is free. Changing this over the first time was a hassle and took about 2 weeks to sort. Their customer service is really lacking. And I dreaded the 2nd time around, but this was sorted fairly quickly after I knew what I was expecting. Overall they are a great telematics company (for the driving experience) and are quite lenient with the scoring.

So far I've had a good experience with general accident, was covered from the moment I clicked pay with great communication although I changed my car fairly soon after setting the policy up which was supposed to be cheaper, they then sent hpc to fit me a box instead of having another plug in device because "this is what they prefer for young drivers" but at a cost to yourself even if your new car is compatible with a plug in which I will be on the phone to them over!
