“Trying to intimidate with threatening letters and emails . I needed a car and insurance in a hurry as I was away from home and needed a car . The quote was over £150 more than I currently pay. My son set it up so didn’t have details of an incident that took place in 2025 . Being treated like a fraud instead of trying to understand the situation. Being held to ransom as he had already paid .”
“Avoid!!!! If you don't cancel they will automatically renew your policy.If you cancel they will charge you a penalty. They deliberately have this policy so they automatically take you money.Than there staff is rude.Pay extra but keep away”
“I had a very disappointing experience with this Kwik Fit Insurance.
I completed an online insurance application, but the website indicated that the payment had not gone through and that I needed to contact customer services to proceed. When I contacted customer services, the process took a long time and I was asked to provide information that I had already entered online. Due to this poor experience, I clearly informed them that I no longer wished to continue and arranged insurance with another provider.
What is particularly concerning is that I never received any confirmation that payment had been successful, nor was I aware that a policy had been activated. Despite this, payment was later taken from my bank account and a Direct Debit was set up without my knowledge. I only discovered this after checking my bank account.
I find it very strange that a policy could be started when the website indicated that payment had failed and no payment confirmation was provided. When I contacted the company, they insisted that the policy had been purchased online and informed me that I would be charged a £30 cancellation fee.
The whole experience has been frustrating, confusing, and time-consuming. I believe the process lacks transparency and has been handled unfairly. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this insurer.”
“I’m very unhappy with the service I received today. I requested to switch my car insurance to my other vehicle, and despite this being a simple and urgent change, it still has not been completed. This delay has caused me stress, inconvenience, and unnecessary frustration. I expected a much faster response and better communication from your company. Having to wait so long for such a basic policy update is unacceptable. Your customer service has been disappointing, and I feel let down as a customer. Please improve your response times and the way you handle important policy changes.”
“Absolutely a waste of time and money. Spend a few hours sending dvla permissions despite giving my drivers lucence number and putting all the data on the comparison site. I got fed up of their nonsense and cancelled was charged £59 for 10 days cover. Avoid them like the plague”
“Awful insurance company! Absolutely horrid to deal with. Cancelled my policy within 7 days and then charged me £45 in fees so in effect I paid for 2 months cover and got 7 days! Don't bother even calling the customer services, they shoddy and won't do anything! AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE!”
“Taken out insurance, received correspondence late requesting driving licence. Insurance policy cancelled, WAS CHARGED £20 ADMIN, asked to speak to manager and had phone put down on me. Whilst I understand the issue. not great service”
“Awful experience as the automatically renewed my plan and took payment even though I have cancel the plan and DD. Charged me cancelation fee on top of the payment which I already made. No refund has been proceed either. !!!!”
“My car was stolen 2 weeks ago, insured with kwik fit, honestly couldn’t fault them. Excellent service from the time I reported the theft, car was valued at a really reasonable price and everything settled and payment received within 2 weeks (as car unfortunately not recovered) no issues at all and would definitely recommend”
“Delayed everything awful service accident not even my fault…. Never insure with this company again. No one to one service. No direct case handler you will have to talk to different person every time.. dragging and draining service.”
“Unclear information during quote, resulting in additional charges. Aended details not saved. Welcome email not received. Awful & slow customer service.”
“Wife accidentally cancelled DD. Rang back immediately to sort out with customer services. Took payment and assured her all was sorted out. A month later, cancellation letter arrives. Going round in circles trying to find complain details and get it sorted. Utterly useless would NOT recommend to anyone. Their staff are incompetent and useless and it's a struggle getting through to the right people for anything. Business trainwreck.”
“Second insurance company in a week that has threatened to cancel my insure because my drivers licence with my name & address on it was not enough proof of where I am living.
at least these sent me a email unlike nutshell insurance who just cancelled it.
probably thousands & thousands of people insured who live in a rented room etc with no bills & I guarantee they did not have to provide all this stuff.
Just straight up Discrimination. Just because I don't own or rent my a way over priced home I cant insure my car.
Insurance companies are bigger crooks than politicians. Charged £30 to cancel after only having the policy for like 4 days & it was not even active.
Also there letter to threatening to cancel my insurance came immediately after I just signed there credit agreement. Crooks”
“Absolutely useless money mindedness.
I purchased a car insurance online and cancelled it within some 7 days. They decided to charge me £30 because I didn’t want to have their service.
They accused me for not providing the correct and honest information, which is a big lie. I provided all the information required stating that the named driver had an accident last year which wasn’t her fault. They made a big thing of it and wanted to increase the premium significantly and that way make more money. Absolutely not reliable company. I’m making a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.”
“Having informed them of an accident as per their instructions, I find myself now penalised. I made no claim but apparently my neighbour did as it was considered 50/50, news to me.
That said, the young lady telling me to calm down as I was speaking too fast is not acceptable. I was not rude, I was not shouting and I was not once disrespectful, just speaking too fast, no wonder they no longer sell insurance poor show. I have yet to try and get my NCD paperwork from them.”
“my renewal went from 30 to 54 ppound to 94 pound a month as im 42 years old full no claitims never been in an accident no even a speeding ticket ever anyway my renewal letter was deliverd to next door house whitch is empty got it 3 weeks late could not do policy any cheaper nice cancel fee 69.00 on top of payments good day for kwickfit bad for me same car better policy from axa 28.90 a month not worth beighn loyal to them any more shame on them lost all my garage calls aswell not to mention not the best telephone maner not rude poor girl sounded badly trained in my opinion”
