“They are expensive and I didn’t find my experience with them a good one, and that was without making any claims. So no I wouldn’t recommend them.”

“Do not go to AXA for your insurance, my wife's watch has taken nearly a year for them to finally tell us that because it was personalised we are not insured. When I purchased the watch I it was personalised, at not point was I asked this by AXA and because of this apparently this watch is uninsured. On taking out the policy I was told a number of times that I would be covered for any accidental damage. As it has taken so long for them to sort out my claim the watch has deteriorated even more than when we tried to make a claim. You must service your watch at the main manufactures otherwise it will not be insured. I was unaware that this was the case. Please don't get caught out like I did. I am still waiting on contact and every day this goes on my watch is getting more water damaged and rotting.”

“Terrible communication and shocking lack of customer care. On the rare occasions I could finally get through I attempted to get my bank changed over which you'd think was simple. They continued to try to take it from an old account so payment failed. As I was having so much trouble I decided not to renew. Just to add salt into the wounds they beat me to it and cancelled my policy because of payment problems. Cheap insurance but you really get the service you pay for.”

“Car insurance renewal quote was a lot more expensive than any previous renewals. Shopped around then rang Axa and hey presto they reduced the price to a more acceptable quote by adding loyalty discount, which they should have applied in the first place, it does pay to give them a call and push for something better, hats off to them but not quite 5 star”

“STAY AWAY FROM AXA!! Having used AXA for over 5 years, paying them over £7000 with no incidents, logged a claim with them in Dec 2019 and didn't receive a single update until JUNE when i was looking for a renewal. Once the update was received, they promised to close the claim but didn't, which increased my further premiums 2 fold in error, then waiting for them to resolve this meant i had to wait weeks to purchase new insurance, which then added over £200 because i needed it immediately as my cover had expired. I was told in no uncertain terms by the agent, it was my own fault i had no insurance because i didn't renew and if he was me - he would have paid whatever he had to to remain insured! totally delinquent and unapologetic whilst admitting he hadn't done his job! unbelievable!”

“CANCELLATION OF CAR & AUTO RENEWAL OF MY HOME INSURANCE! This Company was very good in the past; whether it be for Car Insurance or Home Insurance. Vary recently they became ridiculously RUDE from the point of customer service provision as well as premium wise! Their Premiums is 2 times higher than an average insurance provider? Also for the car insurance purpose; when you try to change the vehicle even with an exactly same vehicle; i.e. with a different vehicle which bears exact value, exact insurance group, even same year etc or with a vehicle lower insurance group and a cheaper value; they will still try to charge a substantial amount of additional charge! This is ridiculous and they assume that we are living in the 19th century and they ignore your knowledge and ability to find cheaper quotes? My car insurance after the point of change was due to expire in 8 months 2 weeks; I cancelled my car insurance got a refund of £721 for 8 month and 2 weeks, found another insurance provider for the whole year which is only £742. So this tells me something that they are charging me almost 27% extra. I am not stupid enough to pay the extra premium for the change of car! So I am happy that I got my insurance cancelled with the AXA; now my Home insurance is expire; again the premium they are asking is almost 40% than the average competitors! Hence the company AXA has killed itself by trying to charge us so much extra premium assuming that we are stupid and we are going to swallow it! Now the AXA is the crappiest insurance company I have ever seen! Not any more bye bye AXA. Please find yourself someone whom you can rip off! It is not me any more! I will be posting this comments all of the Insurance forums!!”

“Terrible Insurance Company. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. My partner took an insurance out with them and just a month later they have cancelled his insurance policy. They have admitted it is their error but as they have already cancelled it there’s nothing they can do. He now has to declare that he’s had a policy cancelled on him which has sent his premiums through the roof.”

“Home Insurance direct with Axa: I was forced to file a claim online yesterday at 1pm limited to 250 characters because nobody answered the phone for 4 hours. Upon logging my claim online, I was then told on email to expect a call within 4 hours, from an advisor, during normal working hours (9-5/Mon-Fri) yet nobody called. It’s now the following day and I’m still on the phone waiting for an advisor at 2.27pm for someone to answer after calling their claim number 5 hours 08 minutes ago, no incoming call from them either or a follow up on email as of yet. Ridiculous.”

“Axa cancelled my insurance after I had called to arrange another payment plan during the covid-19 outbreak and also charged a cancellation fee knowing I was struggling financially at the time. One lady Debbie went to sort it all out for me upon explaining my current situation. We were cut off our call and I called the company back. The gentleman I spoke to then, made me aware there was nothing more the company could do for me and had alreadybeem cancelled. I was absolutely gutted at a time I needed my vehicle the most. I explained I currently work voluntary for the Royal Voluntary Service, am a full time carer for my neighbour and have three children also to take care of two, of which have additional needs. I had also lost my gran and several other people over a short period of time and grieving. I am still, a week on so very frustrated with Axa for not coming to a agreement between us when I had also explained that, I hadn't read my emails and received their email 48hr later. I contacted them as soon as I saw a message from their team. Still nothing was done on Axas behalf. Would avoid the company”

“My claim was through Coverwise who say they are linked with AXA. Coverwise are impossible to contact, the web directs you to AXA. I've tried to call AXA with zero success! The AXA online forms cant be opened or accessed. How these companies are able to remain operating in the UK is a joke! Avoid at all cost.”

“FROM OUR TORRID EXPERIENCE AND UNDER TWO YEARS LATER WE ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO SETTLE FOR ONE EXPENSIVE ITEM OF OUR CLAIM. WE WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A MISFORTUNE OF HOME BURGLARY THEN FROM DAY ONE EMPLOY YOUR OWN ASSESSOR BECAUSE THE LOSS ADJUSTER SENT BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY WORKS FOR THEM. AFTER FIVE MONTHS STRUGGLE TO GET OUR CLAIM SORTED WE WERE NOT GETTING ANYWHERE. AS A MATTER OF FACT WE HAD THE IMPRESSION THEY WERE TRYING NOT PAY FOR OUR CLAIM AND MADE US FEEL AS IF WE HAD INSTIGATED THE BURGLARY. ONCE WE EMPLOYED OUR OWN ASSESSOR THE TONE OF THE COMPANY CHANGED AND HE MANAGED TO GET US MOST OF THE CLAIM EXCEPT ONE ITEM WHICH WAS QUITE EXPENSIVE. WRITING TO THEIR CEO WAS A WASTE OF TIME.THEY AGREED TO PAY SOME COMPENSATION AS TO THE WAY WE WERE TREATED.ONE OF THEIR COMPLEX CLAIM PERSON ON THE PHONE AGREED THAT BECAUSE THE ITEM WAS EXPENSIVE, THE INSURANCE COMPANY ARE RELUCTANT TO PAY. WE HAD PREMIUM INSURANCE COVER AND UNLIMITED SINGLE VALUABLE ITEM. WE ARE NOW TAKING THE MATTER TO THE FINANCIAL-OMBUDSMAN.”

“In June 2019, there was an alleged claim against my partner that he had hit someone else’s car. It was a false claim and a clear case of mistaken identity as my partner was nowhere near the scene on the date of the alleged accident. My partner has a liable witness to prove this. AXA also sent an Independent engineer to inspect his vehicle and the report stated that the car is perfectly fine and has never been involved in an accident. The third party has no evidence that my partner’s car was involved in an accident yet AXA has still kept the claim open. We are constantly on the phone to AXA to help us close the case so that we can carry on with our lives but AXA keep giving us the same excuses. The fact that AXA has been unhelpful in assisting my partner (bearing in mind that he has never missed a car insurance payment) has caused a great deal of stress for him and my family and has caused a huge financial burden.”
