I have been with Privilege car insurance for a number of years now and recently added my wife's car on a joint policy. I can honestly say that Privilege is one of the best companies that I have ever dealt with. The helpline staff are only too pleased to help, nothing is a problem to them. They are extremely helpful an pleasant people to deal with. I would recommend them 100% all the time. William Brown

2 years car insurance with Privilege, at the end of policy I had to tell them how to do their job, I had to tell them what action to take, I had to tell them send me a copy of their corrected mistakes. Did they say even sorry? Keep dreaming!! ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE

Appalling insurance, charge you way more than you should be paying a month, cancelled my policy last week and I'm STILL awaiting my refund into my account and it's been on average 2 WEEKS, which has left me with an uninsured car, stay away from this provider.

Indian call centre, horrific communication both internally and externally and no real interest in helping!

Absolute terrible customer service. I’ve been subjected to laughter on the phone, Pretend Managers on the phone . Staff eating whilst talking to me on the phone. Staff showing no empathy and just being blunt as can be. Shocking company

I originally moved one of my cars insurance policy to Privilege a couple of years ago and the my second for simplicity. Unfortunately in the last 18 months the customer service has become a little challenging just on the basic premise of getting details of insurance contracts or policy details and I am starting to continually find they are highly in-competitive in the vehicles that I have changed too. As many insurance businesses now have on-line document depositories they are defaulting to these rather than send actual bits of paper, or view in this case an email with documents attached. Now I have realised today that I didn't actually have this details so requested it be emailed which I was assured it would be within 4 hours maximum, but I also highlighted that having looked at the online document depository that this was vacant of any actual policy, although I was told this was in place so the email evidence would have been fine however no real explanation as why to why this was devoid of any info even though I have used this facility before and my password still functional allowing me access. In not having received anything after 5 hours once again I was a little concerned and chased to be informed that the back office was busy and this could take between 30mins and 4 hours which had already past in my case. Additionally the individual that I discussed this with became a little defensive indicating the a special pin number was required for access to policies when I highlighted this aspect but then no real reason why I could actually access the online portals but they had nothing in them. Additionally I was told through the verbatim script that must be handed out that she would request again and this could take up to 4 hours before I received emailed documents, which is odd as I had already made this request 5 hours previously through one of her colleagues, so in essence if I actually receive the documents this could be up to 9 hours. IF! The is the second time I have been disappointed with Privilege in less than 12 months I would advise that you avoid them and I await to actually see if I get the documents that I have actually requested on three occasions now. 1) Original 2) Request earlier today and 3) Re-request. As an aside my other insurance company emailed directly and within 10 mins. Its great that Privilege are so busy that they might have to take up to 4 hours to provide existing client info, it makes you feel truly valued as a customer! Hold the Press! - in having just typed this I have suddenly received details how odd that it has just come through now, I am not naturally cynical but it might make you think. These are just my experiences others may be different.

Bitterly disappointed that despite only making two honest claims (one which we chose not to pursue) that we have now been declined household insurance! Be very careful, back in 2015 on a technicality Privilege made our first ever claim into two claims, even though we could evidence it was only one. Now following a recent leak we were advised by a specialist whom we paid for to contact our insurer, which we did. Despite not pursuing this claim Privilege have since told us we've claimed too many times and are a bad commercial risk! I intend to take this matter further with the Financial Ombudsman Service because we have been unfairly treated.

Privilege have been nothing but helpful. The cheapest insurance for young drivers and were happy to price match for a much lower price at renewal. They have also been extremely helpful when an elderly driver drove into my car. No hidden costs for any changes to my policy mileage too.

I was charged £229 for a change of address. When I said that wasn't fair and how can they charge that much he said because they can and if I didn't pay they would cancel my insurance. I don't know how trading standards can allow this.

I have chosen this insurance because it seemed the best option in terms of services and price. After one year the price went up and I asked why, the answer because my car is valuable. This makes sense? And they did not let me know in advance. Later I had an accident, it was not my fault, I took pictures and collected information from the other vehicle. Privilege did not pay any attention to my case that I had to pay my share and more the price went up because I was the one responsible for the accident. How do you think I feel, not being protected by the insurance company from which I have been paying £83 and now £115 plus £ 50 for canceling the insurance ...

Never made a claim with them but have been insured with them for 5 years. I'm a bit lazy with renewals and just let it roll over usually. I've just bought a new car and went on comparison sites to get an idea how much. I can get the same cover with more benefits for nearly £400 less

Disgusting company! High prices are not justified, not qualified staff. After the cancellation of the insurance policy, they still continued to withdraw money from the bank account. Very negative experience.

We had two cars insured by Privilege & as one was no longer required we sold it. We informed Privilege of this & were very surprised & disgusted on being told by Privilege that there would be a cancellation charge of £53, yes, that's correct, £53!!! HOW THE HELL CAN PRIVILEGE JUSTIFY £53 FOR PRESSING A FEW BUTTONS ON A COMPUTER KEYBOARD?????? As former loyal customers of Privilege, guess who we will be going to when the other car is up for renewal........ If I could have given no stars I would have done.
