“Do not use this company!!!! Charge £35 to cancel policy, keep you waiting on the phone for 10 minutes listening to a recording of what they can sell you. Terrible company and thieves”

“went on a comparison website for renewal. called Esure to renewat the new price as i was alredy a customer as the sute gave me cheaper price than they had quoted me themselves. thought everthing was set up ready to go with my new price and cheaper installments at a charge of £27 which i though was to change policy as i had just got anew car on the same day i was renewing. only to get a default notice through the post around a week later saying my DD had been cancelled and the now £28 hadnt been paid. i Called Esure to find out what was going on annoyed that i had a default notice, who then told me there was no record of a default notice( even though i recieved it in the post) and my insurance was now £400 dearer than the renewal that i had agreed to as no one had put through my request for the comparison site deal and was also £200 more than their renewal they had given me themselves. of couse i have cancelled with them and going elswhere but due to the Default notice may have to pay in full and loose my intitlement to installments. Unless of course i stay with them to pay with instalments at a very high price. WHAT IS GOING ON ESURE PLAYING DIRTY.”

“Spent three days trying to get through to speak to advisor and spent hours each day on hold . If this is what customer service is like trying to renew a policy I dread to think what they are like to deal with if you need to make a claim. Really disappointing . Will be looking elsewhere to renew my car insurance”

“Away for the bank holiday weekend, had a an accident. So contacted Esure, to get assistance in recovering our car situation however they could not help us, did not provide us with roadside assistance, could not get through to customer services after several times of trying continuously being cut off. In an emergency this is disgusting service, being stuck roadside with family and baby, they were useless. Called again the following day and then being told that they could not provide me with a courtesy car is disgraceful, away from home no other transport and they could not provide me with the service that i expected after paying money to them to be covered in this kind of situation. For the rest of the public paying them money, dont because in your time of need they wont be there to support you!”

“Do not take a policy with esure - after my experience having had a car accident and the insurance company did not provide me any help on accident, all they say on 24hr helpline number that we will connect you to department after that phone line off. I was away from my house on holidays with my baby and family. Our insurance company were disgraceful in there service, they did not answer there phone after the accident. They did not provide assistance. Speaking with them on phone now they can’t even provide us a car to carry on our journey. In my agreement all accident services, courtesy car etc are included”

“Esure should let there new policy holders know, that there’s a £60 fee, if you want to cancel your policy before it ends , I had 3 months left to finish my 12 monthly payments which was just over the £60 , so I didn’t cancel it , I let it run on till the end, plus it’s a £26 charge if you change your car in the 12 you are paying, doesn’t esure think it’s dear enough with out these extra payments you have to pay , I’ll definitely be leaving esure when my least payment is done, many thanks victor stolz.”

“Terrible service. Did an insurance claim and had an assessor out within 3 days. The estimate was entirely unrealistic (£64.10 for a skip!!!!) I complained about a poor estimate provided by assessor and being bullied into it - no response by email. Place note on Twitter and had immediate response and a conversation the next day and agreement it was under-valued. 11 days from my complaint only had acknowledgement of complaint (complaints should be acknowledged within 24 hours) but no closer to resolution. At this rate it’ll be next year before things are fixed (if we are lucky) I can’t get tradesmen to quote for the work, I have a mouldy house and need to organise everything myself and provide all the estimates before we can start work to the insurance to agree the cost is reasonable. I have never experienced such bad customer service. I’m undecided whether to make this an executive complaint or just go to the ombudsman because it’s not going to be resolved in the 6 weeks they have left.”

“I see some great reviews hear obviously they have never had to claim to ensure, I have fully comp insurance with glass replacement, needed a new windscreen last Monday and had to Wait 5 days for a replacement with auto windscreens a company endorsed by ensure. So if you are on holiday or on a motorway with kids in your car you will have to stay in a b&b until you get a replacement, up to two weeks I was told by auto windscreens. Called ensure nothing tuff, complained on trip advisor and advised to email esure with a link but absolutely nothing. Esure never never ever again,”

“Just tried a quote online but the VRN not recognised (sluggish upload of latest dVLA info) Website told me to calland quote a reference. Did just that, told me that they only accept calls from existing customers (how do they know I am not an existing customer - i used a friends mobile!!!!). Just hung up. Dreadful”

“I did not have a good experience in getting a quote from esure. When you do it online for a multicar insurance, it asks you to call a number. When you ring them, it defaults to saying that you do this online. I eventually managed to speak to a person and got a quote. Asked it I could review it before committing and he said that I should be able to review this online. I could not retrieve this online and when I called them again to request that they email me the quote to review, they refused. I asked if this could be uploaded online for me to review and they refused again. The only option they offered was to purchase the policy and then cancel within 14 days. For me, this is not operating with openness and transparency. It was clear that they had no idea on how to get new customers. I dread to think how I would be dealt with if I had a claim. On balance, I decided not to waste any more of my time on a company that has very poor customer service.”

“My claim is still not settled after 10 months. After the accident (September 2020), I started getting calls from different companies (companies who call you if you were involved in an accident and want to claim). These companies had all the details i-e my name and number, my wife's name and number, home address, details of the car and date of accident, details of the other car who was involved in the accident etc. Initially I though these companies were given my details to sort out the claim but after calling Esure customer service they had no knowledge about these companies. HOW DID THEY HAVE ALL THE DETAILS? I even filled in details of these companies on Esure nuisance contact form but no action was taken. I sent emails to Esure customer service and do not get a reply why our Privacy information was shared (sold) to nuisance companies. I think this is the reason why the premium is low as they sell your privacy information to other companies and make money out of it. Shame on you.”

“On 25/6/21 I lost my Jeep in a flood. On 28/6/21 Esure wrote it off, advised to clear it and collection by Copart imminent. Asked for a review and I did a positive one, swift, efficient etc. Copart never came. Then an email to say another company was coming to assess my car and a link was sent asking me to photograph damage. No visible damage, water in the engine! Told it would be collected 18/7/21. I did not take the offer of a rental as the Jeep is used on the farm and I need a truck, I have other cars. BIG mistake. Now no pressure on esure to resolve my case as no money to be saved. Nobody came on 18/7/21 for the Jeep. I have always got to initiate contact as nobody has ever contacted me from esure, ever, by telephone. Each time I speak online I'm told it will be sent to the person dealing (no name ever given) and they will be in contact. They never do, they never have. I noticed on Twitter, which I don't use, they said rather than complain, contact the CEO direct and we will resolve and gave an email. I emailed them and yes, the reply was somebody has to speak to somebody else about this. I still have had no contact. On the basis of writing it off and needing a truck for farming I went out and bought another truck anyway. If this is how you treat your customers, you do not deserve to run a business. Shameful, ignorant, neglectful and just not British in dealings. Avoid if you care about being treated correctly in your time of need!”

“We left a bad review when we were burgled as they refused the claim on some technical pretext when they couldn't be bothered to speak to the locksmith until 6 months later when he couldn't recollect the incident and never even bothered to speak to the Police. Net result told us to go to the Ombudsman who of course found in esure's favour as seems to be the case in the vast majority of cases. We then left a bad review that has mysteriously disappeared! Surprise surprise but we are talking about esure.”

“I have home insurance and home emergency cover with Esure and their response is very disappointing. After raising an emergency case for plumbing through the home emergency cover channels in the morning, they quickly took payment of the excess (something which I haven't had to pay for any previous home emergency cover) but then lost interest. Having been told to wait for a call from a plumber, it never came so three hours later we called Esure back and was told they would put it through again and to wait for a call. Two further hours later with no response I called the plumbing company that Esure supposedly assigned to our case and they told me they had no record of it. So yet another call to Esure and they inform us that they never sent the case through and that they won't be able to get anyone out today anymore. So after a full day and many repeated calls to Esure, we still don't have any idea if they are sending anyone out and will have to continue struggling with the situation tomorrow. Horrendous service in response to an emergency, the only thing they have managed to do was take payment of the excess and waste a lot of time.”
