“We're to I start! Worst company I have ever been insured with in my life and I have been with a lot of insurance company's over the years! Am going to keep this short so that people listen to my complaint about this company...DO NOT GET INSURED WITH THESE! they seemed fair when I rang up to get insured and were close to been the cheapest and I chose them because of there customer service when I was going to get insured! I rang and got a quote for me Mercedes Benz and they offered me on two occasions 30% discount, when I rang up the third time to say I am at the dealership and the cars ready to go they said this is false information and I am not aloud it, after going round in many circles they decided to give me the 30% off and said sorry. After 4 weeks of being insured with them my car and many other cars in my street got there windows smashed, I rang esure on multiple occasions about the windows on my car and they said if I pay £100 to autoglass I am covered for all my windows and for the damage done to my car off the glass and it won't effect my no claims neither my insurance. Now baring this in mind three people told me the same story from esure I book my car in a autoglass. I ring esure a fourth time to see if my car can get recovered till autoglass can get me a time slot and so my car is safe and secure and due to the fourth phone call they decided to change there mind after 1 hour and 35 minutes on the phone that I am not insured for all windows and would have to put in a claim that will effect my no claims and insurance. On top of all of the lies and being misled they tell me since my car isn't secure and safe that it's not insured. Take my advice! Stay well away.”

“I insured with esure they appeared to give a good deal. When I got the policy documents through they had charged for things that I had not asked for and not included my NCD protection which I had requested. I proceeded to phone them to try and get through but their phone lines were always busy. By the time I did manage to speak with someone the 14 cooling off period had passed and they refused to make any changes despite there being no claims. I wish I had gone with Liverpool Victoria who, although were a little more expensive, but have always resolved any issues positively. I have been forced to leave them due this paying a hefty £55 cancellation fee.”

“Huge regret ever using Esure! I was charge a cancelation fee even though my contract had ended. Then, when I was officially informed on the phone I could cancel my direct debit, I was sent a bill saying I still owed them money. I was also threatened with debt collection if I don't meet their deadline when I requested a letter or email detailing exactly what I have been asked to pay for so I can pay. The treat was repeated by the gentleman on the phone even though I explained I can't pay until the email or letter arrives so I know what I am paying for.”

“I got hit by someone they insure. And am not working as of the injury i got. They seem to think bills them self. I have 2 child in day nursery and food to provide. £88.45 ssp doesn't cover my food bill . As I am not working. It took me 4 years to save for a morgage and hole 12 weeks to take every think I've worked so hard for off me for some car hit me. I am in the wrong for someone else mistake. When you ring to explain they say go threw solicitors which I have . Am just try to chase things up before I get into more debt. I don't have family to rely on like most people.”

“I had a low cost car policy on an 'occasional-use' car with esure. The car developed a fault which rendered it not worth repairing. Broke the car and cancelled the policy - received a £55 cancellation fee - just under 1/3rd of the annual premium! I don't object to a reasonable cancellation fee but this is way too high. Further, as £24 was left outstanding they asked me to call customer services (at 5p per minute!) to arrange payment (this was the the only option given). After 15 minutes holding I gave up and am awaiting to hear how else I can pay. I shall ask for the cost of the call to be refunded.”

“Having never had a problem with car insurance we took a policy out with esure, i'd heard of them, they sounded reputable so was happy to go ahead. Six days into our new policy, we received a cancellation notice, I called up and they said that we'd used multiple addresses at the time of getting quotes on a third party website. Complete rubbish. So, I have 'mutually' cancelled my policy with them and will never use them again. Steer clear.”

“Unbelievably bad service. Do not use. No communication within the company. Do not ring you back when they say they will. The list of incompetence goes on. Best summed up by then phone interview me the day after in was involved in an non fault accident asking me to find my car as they could not. I had to phone round recovery companies untill I found it. Why have insurance to help when things go wrong with this company you have to do it all yourself with them acting as a hindrance not a help.”

“Awful company to deal with. Not open at weekends, so avoid having an issue Saturday or Sunday! Unhelpful,rude,unprofessional call centre staff deal with your queries if you are willing to wait an eternity for your call to get through. Slow at resolving a claim and are basically a company who look to exploit as much money out of their customers and the insurance system as possible. Lesson learnt will never use them again. AVOID”

“Ensure charged £26 admin to change insurance to another car, then the day after another £26 admin to add extra drivers + increases because they said the Toyota Aygo was more at risk of being stolen because it had no security system fitted. The Toyota book says it has a Thatchem cat 2 fitted. Not a good company. Will be looking elsewhere next. Being sorry about my experience is no compensation.”

“Shopped around after being with Esure for 10 years as a customer and realised i could save over £1500, yes... £1500 by switching my insurance. This was a total shock to me. I then called Esure and was told this could be due to my post code, claims of others who live in my area regardless of the fact I have 17 years no claims discount with them. 25 minutes on line and on the phone has saved me a fortune. Shocked that when I called I got charged £35 admin fee to cancel and had to pay the full legal cover for the year. They did not offer me a cheaper quote either? Staggering that they can afford to lose customers with no attempt to retain, that said, I would not have stayed - awful service.”

“My renewal quote was almost double the previous year despite no claims, and it is impossible to get through to anyone in the renewals department for a re-quote. Other insurance companies are offering the same product for much less. It was very easy to get through to the sales department but they couldn't help! Customer Service shouldn't just be about new customers...”

“On holiday in Barbados, we were tipped out of a 2 seat kayak by a wave - no problem except my wife lost her glasses. Went to Specsavers to order replacement on 8 Mar 17 (took advantage of Specsavers offer to buy one get one free - second air cost £60 because of extras, first pair cost £353). Contacted esure on 9 Mar 17 to see if loss was covered. Phone was answered quickly, but claims handler insufficiently knowledgeable, so promised to call back. Called back within 30 mins by Craig, who took all the details and said he would send a cheque for £253 (cost of first pair of glasses less £100 excess). No proofs or receipts required. Cheque arrived on 13 Mar 17. I could not ask for a better service.”

“Esure cancelled my policy without warning, on the basis that I had done different searches on compare the market. Called them to inquire and explain - no, nothing they can do and it is out of their hands.”
