What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Bolton-based insurance company Broker Direct PLC handles motor claims and customers describe a service that divides sharply. Praise centres on the helpfulness and courtesy of staff, with reviewers repeatedly mentioning being kept informed as a case progressed and the coordination with repairers and replacement vehicle providers. Speed is noted when matters moved forward, and several customers recall a first claim being guided through professionally. The frustrations are equally consistent.

Lengthy waits for a decision on a valid claim come up repeatedly, alongside confusion over excess payments even where footage indicated fault lay elsewhere, and conflicting answers from different members of staff. Some describe having to work out the procedures themselves because the process was not explained clearly at the outset. Cases involving written-off vehicles and disputed liability recur in the accounts, as does a fraudulent document passing basic checks. The contrast between individual teams performing well and the handling of claims as a whole shapes the impressions left, particularly around motor insurance and total loss settlements.

A move to a total digital experience for completion of claim forms would be helpful to avoid need to print & scan, which may not always be easy. Otherwise the process and the team were helpful and efficient.

I have scored you 10 in anticipation of the claim being fully settled which has not yet happened. But so far your teams have responded well and in a timely manner. Not having had any previous car insurance dealings it would have been useful if I had been given a clearer list of all the different party's and procedures involved, as ultimately I had to find out about these myself. However, the general level of communication has been very positive. I have not yet reached the point where I know if BD will continue to insure me for this no fault claim. But so far it's looking good.

A very professional service, repairs to my vehicle were authorised promptly. The recommended repairer did an excellent job.

Communication between the various 'suppliers' (Stellantis claim handlers, body shop, car rental etc.) and myself was excellent throughout.
