What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Helpfulness and approachability stand out across the feedback for this Birmingham insurance brokerage operating as a car and motor insurance agency. Various customers describe staff as polite, patient and willing to assist, with reviewers repeatedly mentioning a reassuring manner during what can be a stressful process of arranging cover. Named members of the team feature in accounts of positive experiences, with Zavaar singled out for patient support and Jack praised for professional, friendly handling of van insurance, including what one customer considered a competitive price.

The service is described as dedicated, with employees taking time to explain details and remain available throughout. Reviewers also note a generally positive atmosphere and efficient handling of enquiries. Some accounts are less favourable, citing unexpected rises in ongoing costs, a transfer of cover between vehicles that proved costly, and difficulty in obtaining a return call after providing details for a quotation. These points recur across a number of the lower-rated contributions and temper the generally warm picture of the brokerage, though the predominant theme remains the courteous, helpful conduct of the staff.

I do not recommend them. I bought a car because my old car broke down and I had to transfer the insurance to the new car. They took 600 pounds from me for the old insurance, which was 1450, and there were only 5 months left on the policy, knowing that the car I bought was a 2012 model. The insurance is more expensive than the price of my car🤣🤣😅. In short, they are exploitativ.

Recently needed insurance for an unusual car (a classic Mercedes with an engine swap). Comparison websites were giving £4k+ prices, so asked to current owner where he got his insurance from... Cut a long story short Bernard from the Birmingham branch was able to cut the £4k quotes from elsewhere to £2.5k immediately and then he put in some leg work and was able to get it down to just £600. Couldn't have been happier with the service, will be back when insuring my other cars.
