“AXA probably the worst insurance company in existence. I booked a hire car for my arrival in England and paid for both the rental and the insurance. The names that came up were Cartrawler, another very bad company and AXA. My insurance documents were sent to me by email in Spanish. I replied to the sender requesting they be sent again but in English, I also requested a receipt for my payments. The reply I got said that this site is only for sending emails and cannot receive them. I telephoned AXA here in Spain but no-one there could speak English. I did try to tell them that I had insurance with them but they were not interested. I strongly recommend, stay well away from both Cartrawler and AXA. It took me two days on the telephone and internet before I managed to speak to someone who could help.”

“AXA assistance home emergency cover are possibly the most inept company i have ever had the misfortune to deal with..I have had 2 very simple jobs (a blocked sink and a gas boiler that doesn't work) i have been without heating and water for 2 weeks now. I have paid for 2 hours labour when the job took 20 minutes (still got problem). How the Halifax Building Society associate themselves with AXA home emergency cover is beyond me. I want Everyone to know how bad they are, and if offered their EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE, think twice before you use them. THEY ARE NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE...”

“I was notified in February this year that I had been in an accident in January 2017. Wrong! I had definitely NOT been in any accident at all. It turns out it was in an area where I've never ever been. I wasn't told where this accident (or incident as they kept referring it to) had happened until the following day. AXA told me that they had contacted the other insurers who said that It 'sounded like the same car!!! Never mind confirming the correct vehicle registration number. I kept denying this claim as it definitely wasn't me but AXA asked me to send photos of my car. Therefore I sent thousands of photos from every which way but loose. I also obtained witness statements from everyone I was with at the time of the supposed incident and sent these off to AXA. Also a written statement from myself denying the incident. When I was initially told about the accident it was in an entirely different name but still my car registration. I also sent them a photo of myself as I was asked for the card part of my driving licence showing my picture. . I don't have one due to still having my original paper driving licence This makes me think it was a mix up with the reg. This notification all happened the day before my birthday and two days prior to flying to Australia. So I will never forgive AXA for a). ruining my birthday and b).ruining my holiday. As I have not heard anymore from them (not even answering the phone ) even though I was given the name and email address of the claim handler.I have asked for an apology from AXA.p as I was made to feel guilty until proven innocent. To date I have not heard anything. My renewal is due any day so I will hopefully receive that notification and they will quickly receive my reply. No way. I will never go with AXA again.”

“A minor damage happened on JAN and the opposite driver committed the whole liability. As the insurer's arrangement. I sent the car to the garage. I waited 1 month without response, I called customer service and they told me they will arrange the repair and call me back in 2-3 days, I waited another 1 week, called customer service and told the garage reported there is no damage on my car!!!!!!!!! Then the customer service suggested me to send the picture to show the damage. After they receiving the pictures which shows the damages obviously, another 2-weeks waiting without response, I called the customer service and the i was told that the technician saw my pictures and there was no damage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A few days later, I received a letter told me this is a final decision and if I am not satisfied please escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service. But actually, there is nothing about the what the decision is in the letter. Does it mean any claims will end up with nothing if you are insured by AXA? I called them again and the person said they will chase my case and no more response at all. Finally, I gave up dealing with this filthy insurer. However, today, after 4 month since the incident happened, I received a letter asking me to confirm to close my case!!! The management of AXA is a chaos and their staff are arbitrary and lack of training.”

“I was fully comprehensive with protected no claims protection and legal cover. Another driver had a heart attack at the wheel and drove into me on my side of the road. The police agreed that it was absolutely not my fault but still Axa did not compensate me for my claim and stated that due to the fact that the other driver was clinically dead prior to impact that they are not liable. I'm now hugely out of pocket. The icing on the cake is the fact that they have made the claim my fault and put my insurance up despite having protected no claims. I've never been on hold for less than 45 minutes and now need to complain via the regulator. I'm not sure how they could be worse.”

“Everything you don't even deserve to be an insurance company seriously have you ever heard of something called communication? I strongly disagree with yours actions you shown towards your clients! Having 2 car crashes that aren't even my fault and they are still not helping me with anything as they all tell me false information.”

“I have been waiting over 6 months for AXA to sort out my claim after my car was hit by another car who's owner had failed to put on the cars handbrake. this happened in Calais last year. The owner of the vehicle admitted fault and all the drivers details were sent to AXA including their insurance, licence. name, address, photos etc. After making numerous calls and always being kept on hold unreasonable amounts of time before being fobbed off by someone who could not care less i have had no feedback for several months. AXA have contacted me today, not with any response but to advise me my renewal is due at an increased cost of 25% on last year which was also up a similar amount on the previous year. despite over forty years of no fault accident free driving. i am frustrated and disgusted and will be contacting the insurance services onbudsman to attempt to resolve what Axa can't or won't.”

“Do not want to give a 1* rating as it is to high. Inept staff who are unable to recall and type correct details into the computer. 1 hour on hold every time i have to phone. No acknowledgment of complaints nor have they been resolved after 5 months. Claim ongoing since Dec. No action taken on claim unless I phone.”

“I recently had my home burgled and consequently put a claim into AXA, from my first contact with them they were superb and helpful. They were quick to organise a company to secure my property and the rest of the claim continued in the same way. Like most people I took out my building and contents insurance assuming I would not be needing it, how wrong I was. A dreadful event was made less painful by there helpful staff. Superb customer care, would and have recommended them to all.”

“Our garden wall was blown down by Storm Doris recently, the worst winds in our area for 90 years, six large trees felled on our estate, two main roads by us blocked. AXA refuse point blank to pay for repairs, stating they 'do not believe the storm was a contributing factor' Utterly appalling, what on earth do we pay insurance premiums for? I will not let this go without a fight!”

“When trying to contact them regarding a claim that was in process it took over one hour to speak to someone on the phone and the next day it took 1 hour 10 minuets to talk to someone who then said I was in the wrong department and was in the right place at the beginning. Useless”

“I've had a bump with my car 3 weeks ago i called the claims department straightaway to inform them. I'am now still waiting for someone to get back to me about repairs etc i've tried to call them myself but can never get through, they close at 5pm i tried calling them at 8am waiting 10 mins in a queue then i couldn't wait any longer. Never ever have i known an insurance company like this its ridiculous I strongly advise no-one to insure with them, if you have a bump your stuck!!!”

“My car was crashed while parked in front of my hose. Axa takes forever to answer calls, very unprofessional customer service, it takes at least 40 minutes to get through to an advisor no matter what time I call. They hire a thrird party to deal with their out of hour calls which is so disappointing because the third party is not able to do anthing. Overall happy to leave Axa, my car was written off as no fault of my own but Axa still charged cancellation fee for the insurance. Unbelievable.”

“Victim of an accident which happened in February 2017, it is now April and still not sorted. They unashamedly undervalued my car as a write-off and are basically forcing me to accept. I don't want to write off my car. I'm very disappointed so far with Axa I paid more to be with them because I thought they were the best company, But instead I feel bullied by them, they dont care about us the customer, they only care about looking after their own interest. Also to add, they don't bother contacting you for anything, you have to do all the work. I have sent so many emails, made so many phone calls and been on hold for so many hours. Very disappointing insurance company, if I had known, i would have saved my money and gone somewhere cheaper. My case is still ongoing, I will update my review once case is closed.”

“Took our home insurance with them at a very keen price via a price comparison site but on renewal the premium was hiked up by 33% despite no claim on the policy. By the time I realised it was outside the cancellation period.”

“Very easy to create a travel policy with them. BUT when I needed to claim because I missed my plane they were not helpful for me to pursue my claim for compensation. Its only a small claim but they make it SO DIFFICULT and long winded with lots of obstacles that most people will give up the fight! BEWARE that many insurers are backed by this company (including M&S insurance), so check each policy small print first. DONT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE.”
