“Previously I would have rated this company a 5 Star. However, it is not until you actually get to see them in action you can really write a true review. It is true they are cheap but then there is a reason for this. - Customer services sent me an email saying they had been trying to phone me. However, on the day in question I was home all day and no one from the company had phoned. - Customers services are extremely poor they never keep you informed or updated with progress. (not acceptable service) - I complained that they fail to obtain sufficient evidence and understanding to investigate an accident thoroughly they seemed to have a set protocol they follow. (no one from this company came back to me regarding this) - I provided these people very detailed information and not once did anyone from this company come back to me (not acceptable) - Customer services advised me they have a policy of a 50% blame for any accident on an island regardless of who was at fault . (even when it is impossible for a rear tyre to impact the front of another vehicle unless that car is traveling sideways) - I was quite horrified that they had no interest in the fact that the other driver failed to stop at the scene of an accident and I had to turn around and follow the car to get their details.”

“Worst customer service. I don’t thank they have people working as you only get templates emails. I had an incident in France and I was told that it was my fault even someone else hit my lost my no claim next year Insurance was doubled and there is no one who would listen to your complaint. The staff working for claims and complain would not listen but would they you to go to Financial Ombudsman Service. disgraceful please please don’t use them.”

“Worst company customer service zero. I don’t think they customer service team as you always get a template copy and paste email. Please do not be conned by them especially when you are hit by someone else they will make you at fault. I was hit by car in France and the impact was so little that you can barely see a scratch on my car three months later I was told by Esure that my claim has been settled where I never claimed and I was declared to be at fault. Lost my no claim and my next year Insurance Was doubled. The claim team and the complaints team are horrible to deal with as they would say you can go to financial Ombudsman Service.”

“Absolutely devastated! Last month via help chat I updated my details which was supposed to lower my insurance this month but in stead not only did the price not get reduced, they have double charged me on direct debit. Note I can’t contact the support team. No answer no nothing. Esure car insurance”

“I called Esure to speak to them about cancelling a car insurance policy. There is no one to speak to due to COVID and once they read out the message, the phone gets cut off. There is no way of communicating with them. This morning I managed to get on to the online Chat function and at 11:40am I was caller number 356 in the queue. At 2:25, the Esure system was telling me i was caller number 1 in the queue and this is what the system has been displaying for the last half an hour. Finally Esure cut me off. How does one get in touch with this company to get any info? It is a disgrace if one has to wait until the COVID issue is up. This is another way of this company ripping people off and not giving access to deal with the complaints of customers.”

“Absolutely disgusting service. Wasn’t bothered about listening to customers thoughts and feelings, just kept threatening saying they would write a minor claim down as fully my fault basically messing future insurance up for me - when I was trying to provide evidence for the incident where the other driver was fully at fault and he wasn’t bothered. I had cctv evidence and because it’s not normal that I didn’t get photos due to not carrying a mobile phone around with me he said the cctv is invalid and he was terminated the phonecall. Waste of time this insurance company!!! Look into the fine print as you basically get insured for absolutely nothing. Generally useless. Excesses for everything. Might be “cheap” but that’s because you’re paying for nothing. Literally. Don’t waste your time with them. Absolutely discusting customer service from all departments.”

“Had a claim some 2 years ago and I have just received repayment of the excess, original estimate 4 months. I had been assured that the loading on my premium would also be refunded but this has not been mentioned. Spoke to Esure and told it would be passed to the underwriters to consider. Competitive premiums and ok provided you don't make a claim! Now insured through a different company.”

“Make sure you read those terms and condition people. I week of my insurance policy to run before renewal, I need to update my address. Policy Premium goes up £2.83 yet £26 to change the poorly! Zero flexibility. Will I renew my insurance???? I think not”

“Appalling service. Misquoted me after 35 minutes spent clarifying the terms of the insurance I required. When I rang back days later (after 40 minutes waiting in a queue) to take out the policy with my quote reference number they said they can't cover me due to me doing Amazon Flex (which has its own insurance policy to cover drivers during deliveries). Despite clarifying this numerous times during my initial call (for which I got the quote reference), they misquoted me. I'm furious. Spent 1hr 1/2 on the phone for NOTHING. Appalling service from people who clearly have no clue what they're doing. AVOID”

“Avoid!!! I missed one payment and they cancelled my insurance without telling me! 2 weeks later after driving around with no insurance they inform me that have cancelled it. I phone them up and paid my payment I had missed. And it was left as that. Cancelled! Few weeks later I have debt collection letters saying I owe them £105 because I cancelled the contract early!!! Absolute joke!!!”

“Awful customer service. I tried to change my address less than a week into my policy and told I couldn't as no proof of address was provided to my original address. I live with parents, so the only proof of address I had was driving licence which they wouldn't accept as it had to be a utility bill, which I obviously don't have. We were moving house at the time too. So they advised let it cancel then take out a new policy. Which I did and the new policy was then cancelled as "they had previously cancelled a policy" I phoned up to try and explain and they weren't interested... Both times I was also charged an "admin fee" for the cancellation. I was advised against using Esure by a few people but gave them the benefit of the doubt as they were competitively priced. Thought I'd be safer with a bigger company. I was wrong. I suppose like most places, if you get insurance then never have to change anything or claim they are probably fine... And I guess that's where all the 5* ratings below came from. But don't expect them to be helpful when you need them most. I certainly wouldn't be confident that they would be helpful if I'd have had an accident.”

“I suffered a bereavement last year and had to move areas, I rang esure yesterday and told them of change of address, because I suffered a bereavement I would be charged £25 for admin fee. The heartless management were more interested in the money than in real life tragedy that befell their customer aka money making machine. THE MANAGEMENT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT US, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, DISGUSTING I WILL NOT BE RENEWING MY POLICY IN JULY. if the management is interested at all, I miss my baby everyday and my hear is broken.”

“Truly shocking service. Been with them for years. Two claims over five years, then they refuse to insure me again. In the meantime, they don't stop cross selling you home insurance, jeez.”

“I had comprehensive car insurance with esure for about 2 years, last year somebody made a claim against me, after that he never called or presented any evidence to support the "claim". 11 lmonth's later esure told me that they still did not have any contact/evidence from whoever made that claim, yet they still told me that i have a "outstanding claim" that could affect my No Claim Bonus Discount. Even worse, after many, many phone calls, email, letters i was told that "the claim was no more" but when i ask for proof of my NCD, on the letter/email, it says that i still have a outstandig claim against me, even if the "claims department" says that they "deleted" that. In the end i moved to a different car insurance. PS: I would give 0(zero) stars for esure if that was possible!”

“Car insurance was much higher than competitors when renewing and excess was crazy for the age of the car”

“I had an accident. Other party were with Esure too. Claim was settled very quickly 50:50 even though I was not at fault and had photos, witness etc. Ombudsman involved and 2.5 years later they get their lawyers to look at it which is what they should have done at the outset. Lawyers decide I was not at fault. That is after the other side has made a personal injury claim against me which no doubt has been settled. Shocking customer service.”

“I wouldn't want to rate this as a 1 star. This is such a poor customer service. As I was wanting to make a claim I was asked silly questions which were unnecessary such as private and confidential documents where I can't have any access to as it has nothing to do with me. It's just ridiculous to even apply for a claim in this”
