Excellent response from Aviva on recent travel insurance claim for emergency hospital stay in Switzerland, and also on the past on car insurance claim. We also had an electrician sent within an hour under their home insurance emergency cover. Will certainly stay with them!

Terrible customer service. Revoked my No Claim Bonuses even though the 3rd party has amitted liability and their insurance has paid Aviva and me. Getting through to customer services to get my NCB back is near enough impossible. Would never use Aviva again.

Had a flood in December, ankle deep In water , first u do online with a robot ??? Then finally five weeks later send someone out , now being fobbed off with low payment which will not cover costs , and told I can only replace carpets with carpet right , so i wouldn’t be able to match carpets with the rest of house , if I go elsewhere they have told me I would get less?? How does that work . Still waiting for someone to call me , totally disgusted never claimed in sixteen years .

Great 1st car insurance deal. Easy to use website and good customer service. Had no spam emails, text messages or phone calls. Although another insurance company had a better deal, I will consider Aviva in the future

I paid for 1 year car insurance but I could use its cover for only 2 weeks. The policy investigator couldn't find the temporary address address I provided when I applied for the policy, and instead of contacting me to inquiry about it, they have blocked my car cover. They just sent an email notifying that they void the cover... luckily I read it the day after, I risked to drive without cover for days because they didn't bother to make a phone call. First shoot and then ask questions, they treated me like I was a terrorist. I called them and instead of apologise and fix the situation, they told me I have to re apply for another cover and my previous premium money are lost. They made a mistake in checking the address, they mistreated me like I was a terrorist, they put me in a dangerous condition (voiding my cover without warning me), and I must pay. I am contacting lawyers, they must pay for what they did. Do you want to join them? First find a good lawyer.

Received a renewal premium of £460, updated my card details 2 minutes later and this was recalculated to £560 with no other changes. Aviva claim this is due to market conditions. Right, within 2 minutes of getting a £460 renewal, it went up by £100! Profiteering at it's finest. Will be leaving.

This is the worst company I have every dealt with The phone line is inaccessible and website useless They say they have sent on email when they haven’t They do not make clear the details of restrictive covenants They send documents to be filled in PDF which does not allow you to type on them without downloading in a different format . They take up to 5 days to get back to you if you are lucky . They just seem to do everything possible to paying out legitimate claims

Aviva are very poor communicators and in my experience hold very little empathy to their customers. For instance, just got told by 'Sam' that they will only communicate once liability has been established even though it has been 3 months since a simple rear end accident. Apparantly this is 'normal' but they dont provide any timelines or further information. Yet they still expect meto pay excess at my cost for the privilige of their 'cover'.

I had a car accident.... It took me 2 hours for a member of staff to find me on their system... while I was sitting on a busy A road !!!! I was the given false information on the recovery of my car, being told that it would cost me £300... I hung up and rang back.. got my car recovered, but because of Covid, I was left on the A12. I made it home 5 hours later...... After any accident, you need to be in contact with your insurer.... GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, THERE IS NEVER ANYONE AVAILABLE TO TAKE YOUR CALL... Be prepared to be on hold for over an hour.... and then be told, "sorry, I cant find you in our system " RUBBISH INSURER... Look else where

On Friday night, a 60 foot scots pine fell on my 70 year parents house, cutting off the electric and rupturing the mains gas for the road. They are without a home as it is unsafe - the tree is precariously perched on the roof and threatens to bring the whole house down. The 24/7 claims department do not have a clue (if you are lucky enough to get through to them), cannot tell us what should be done next and "may" think about considering the claim on Monday, by which time the claim could be significantly higher if the house collapses. Please do not make the same mistake as my parents and choose Aviva.

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. Absolutely terrible communication and care. After two months of suggesting my car would be a ‘total loss claim’ as it had been stolen following a burglary and suggesting a settlement figure with the lease company they then reversed their decision, despite the car being damaged in numerous gang related crimes. This fact had been reported to us by the police. In the interim we obviously replaced the car as it was a lease with another contract and lease on a new car. Aviva admitted that nobody had looked at the claim for two months and offered £250 compensation (less than 1 months rental which we had to continue paying on the stolen car) and stated that they would now repair and return the vehicle to us. We had no choice in this. Now 4 months after the burglary. We will continue to have two rental costs and will have to accept back the repaired ‘gang use’ car once they have repaired it. We are in contact with the Financial Ombudsman and have contacted the Financial Conduct Authority.

Avoid! They are good on marketing and looking from outside but when you really need to deal with them they just want your money. A non fault claim they "see it" as fault because they did not recover the money from 3rd party. You loose NCD because of that even if it was not your fault at all! but wait...it is your fault that they cannot or did not recover the money after 7 months because their solicitors are too lazy and don't care much because there is not much money involved. Absolutely outrageous! A big fat cat!
