“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”
“Took out pet insurance last year - that was fine. But this year the renewal email went into my junk email so I missed it for a while. When I looked, the premium had increased hugely and they had also increased the excess from £60 to £60 plus 15% of any costs. I had not asked for auto renewal but they renewed it anyway. I tried to cancel 2 days after renewal, well within the 14 day period, but have been charged a £30 "admin" fee. This was hidden in the T&Cs so my fault but I'm still annoyed... thankfully saved nearly £15 per month, better cover, better excess with 4Paws.”
“Automatic renewal cannot be stopped as the name on the policy is my wife's maiden name. I am not considered the policy holder and cannot cancel renewal.
Renewal price is 31% higher than last year without any claim.
Avoid at all costs.”
“After being a Kwik Fit insurance customer for 3 years. I contacted them regarding a change of car and mileage. I moved from a 1.6 to a 1.8, the make and model were the same. More substantially my expected annual mileage had doubled from 10,000 to 20,000miles. Kwik Fit wanted to charge me nearly GBP 300 per month!! The guy on the phone did not have an explanation for this, it was just 'how it is'. I did the right thing and changed insurers and am now paying very similar to what I was previously. I have since received a letter from Kwik Fit informing me that if I do not pay them the GBP owed, (as a result of cancelling the policy early) they will pass on my details to a debt collection agency.”
“Very poor...had a recent cat accident. The other party admitted liability, but when I came to renew with KWIK FIT, they went from £360 to £1200 per annum. They are greedy sharks...dont touch them.”
“If I could have left a zero star rating …
If I could have left a zero star rating I would.
What a load of sharks!!
My pet had an operation, which was to remove her dew claws, I say this so that you can see it is impossible to reacur because she no longer has them.
We have loved her many years which has involved her waist line increasing, so much so she has gone from a small breed to medium breed. Thats not a problem as she is still not over weight - in the words of the vet.
However, Kwikfit Pet insurance feel justified in incresing her premiums by over a whopping 100% the only difference to the policy is an increase in weight of 1.5kg.
This is not my only complaint, They received the claim over a month ago and still no contact from them. They only get in touch when they inform you you need to pay more.
Staff at customer services are quite obviously reading from the textbook, no one seem to comprehend what I was trying to say just kept repeating the same line.
Will I continue with the policy, well if I don't they will sting me for the rest of the premiums at the increased rate. So what choice do I have, over a barrell springs to mind.
Would I renew, not on your nelly.
Started the complaints procedure but don't hold up much hope, as they are no longer taking on new customers they have no need to watch there ways as poor feed back is not a problem for them.
In summing them up I would definately say they are not a company with any morals, would I use them for any other insurance, NO, would i reccommend them NO.
Shame on you Kwikfit, your should feel ashamed of yourselves”
