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!

They seem ok but you have to download and print everything which is ok if you have a printer, I didn't know this when I took the policy out if I had I may not have taken it out.

I had to make a claim on my insurance & general accident were very helpful, making the claim was straight forward. Although I did have to chase them when I was waiting for a response.

Like all insurance companies they’re expensive but not as expensive as some.
