It's online only, but it's impossible to speak to someone if you are unable to get online. Which happens most of the time. Would not go with them again

I insured my car because the quote offered was reasonable. I have not had any dealing with General Accident since buying my policy so I can’t offer any criticism, good or bad.

I always like a hard copy of the policy . Every thing on line is all very well but some of us like to read the paper copy

After numerous communication with GA l found them very inefficient in dealing with telling the DVLA that my vehicle was insured with them which should be automatic. This put me through a lot of unnecessary trauma. I even went to the Police and they tried but without success. In the end I emailed the CEO of the company before this was resolved. Very dissatisfied.

Decided not to renew with GA as they increased the premium without bringing my attention to that fact and made an assumption I would accept. An email advised me they would automatically renew - I don't think so.... One phone call from them may have kept my business - an opportunity missed on their part. Poor show indeed.

I added my son to the policy, I thought it was rather expensive considering he is away at university, his age and driving experience to be honest. This is the only contact I have had with General accident. Deborah Goodband

Windscreen replacement - phone system transferred me direct to autoglass, denying me the right to shop around for a more convenient and timely replacement, resulting in having to wait 3 weeks for completion. To add insult to injury, in replacing the windscreen, the operatives broke a front quarterlight, meaning car was off the road up to 3.00pm the following day waiting for that to be replaced. All round poor show, from both General Accident and Autoglass, both of whom failed to allow me to speak with a representative.

They managed to mess up my direct debit payments and you have no way of contacting them by telephone to sort out any issues, that means i received a reminder each month. In all my time with car insurance (over 20 years) this is the only insurance company that managed to mess up my payment. I wrote to them on a few occasions to sort out the issue but never received a reply. I would not be using them again

Didn’t have the best experience with general accident, when buying the policy I couldn’t get in touch with them over the phone so just had to buy online and then 6 months into the policy when I wanted to contact them to make a change to my policy I couldn’t get in touch with them again over the phone. I then found out that they are an online only company which hadn’t been put across to me at the start of the policy, this caused me to have to cancel my policy halfway through as I couldn’t find a way to make the change that I needed to online.

My wife and I wanted to check if we could do a multicar policy instead of renewing on her own as her policy is dew in 7 days now! Which also is cut off date for notice of termination for renewal. All I needed was someone to talk to me and explain the process, but after a month they're not contactable by telephone unless you are making a claim. When I clicked on the help boxes and tried to do the online thing,I could only get pre set answers none relevant.,..aaàggg

Can’t complain with the service I had when getting the insurance however if you need to speak to someone you have to do it online

Good price but the lack of a call centre and the incomplete website on which your forced to depend can be extremely frustrating.

No communication with the insurer. Since I had no claim then no need to contact them.

After setting up the policy I have had no cause to contact the provider, so cannot comment on their service in this respect.
