“Been waiting for over 500 pounds since April (almost A YEAR go). Customer service is terrible, it's impossible to speak to someone over the phone. It's only easy when you book (cause of course you are paying). I do not recommend this at all!”

“Warning do NOT use AXA for car insurance. I am a customer, have raised a claim and 3 months later am still waiting for them to instruct the garage to proceed with the repair because it is sitting in the queue to be reviewed. Every time I phone them to chase it takes 45 mins to 1h 20 mins waiting on hold. They have never in 3 months replied to an email (except auto holding email replies). Their web portal incorrectly says the garage is fixing the car when the garage has not heard back from them. It is an unmitigated disaster and clear from the way they behave this is not a one off. Avoid at all costs!”

“Dont use this insurance they are the worst ever. Sadly they are very big and had to deal with them a few times and they have the worst customer services I have ever experience. It can take years for them to deal with a claim and do everything to not pay until you take them to Ombudsman !!! AVOID AVOID at all costs.”

“Never buy insurance from this company. It is a total scam. I bought it from its UK branch for international coverage then moved to SG. When I wanted to make a claim in SG, they asked me to fill out a form about my previous medical conditions (regardless of whether the condition is emergent or not). More ridiculously, they only allowed my UK GP to fill it out. Unbelievable, I was in SG and bought international insurance which cost over 4000 pounds a year. Why did not they ask my UK GP to fill out such a form before I bought the insurance? Because they then could have an excuse to delay your claim. Eventually, you would have to pay by yourself because they would not reimburse you unless you got their pre-authorization. This is a total scam. I never see such an unprofessional company that only increases your burden/stress when you are ill and want to make a claim (I only paid 100 sg dollars to see the doctor and got solved of the issue). I would never recommend such a company to anyone.”

“Awful,liars. DO NOT USE THEM. Someone with an insurance from this company crashed into me. According to this person they reported the accident two weeks go, I did not heard from them. After waiting for ever at the phone I was given a reference number and told their garage would call me, (she said they did not call me earlier since they did not have my number???). Since I did not heard from them,I tried to cal again,it took me the whole day. Eventually they answered and told me that, the policy holder did not get in touch with them!!According to them somebody else reported the accident. When I asked how many times they have tried to contact the policy holder ,they would not answer.Thy put the phone down on me.”

“How this company has a 5 star defaqto rating is beyond me. I had to make a claim earlier in the year for a damaged headlight, after someone had reversed into my car and left without leaving any details. I contacted the claims team and they were useless. I was given incorrect information on more than one occasion and sent on a wild goose-chase to "vision" which is their approved company for booking your car into a garage for repairs. I told the claims team I wanted my car to be repaired at Southampton Audi as that is where my car was currently situated having its MOT. I was told by vision the nearest garage who could carry out my repairs was 25 miles further away in Salisbury! I pleaded with Vision that this was an enormous inconvenience, but they said that is all they could offer. More hours were then wasted contacting garages in Salisbury and getting absolutely nowhere as they could not carry out the repairs within a reasonable time frame. Due to the headlight damage my car had failed its MOT, so the repairs had to be carried out ASAP hence why I wished my car to be repaired at Southampton Audi where the car was situated at the time. I then gave up and called the AXA helpline number and was told that my car could be repaired at a garage of my choice all along! I also queried that the no claims team had said I would be classed as at fault in this instance and would be losing 10 years off my no claims! The call handler said this would not be the case and that it was essentially a hit and run I would not be classed as at fault and only lose 2 years no claims. This turned out to be further miss information and I have been classed as at fault! Axa need to seriously re-train their staff as the experience of making a claim was absolutely horrendous. I literally lost an entire day making endless phone calls going round in circles when I should have been given the correct information and guidance from the claims team at the first point of call. I am now trying to raise a complaint about this experience and being lied to, but trying to raise a complaint is almost impossible with AXA, as I think they simply do not care about me as a customer. Incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience from a so called 5 star insurer.”

“Axa Car Insurance are a thoroughly unpleasant company. Their insured hit our property over three months ago. We have sent everything they AXA have requested however they do not reply to any e-mails and if you try to call it is normal over 90 in a queue and over an 1 hour to 2 hours on hold. They are not fit for purpose and without doubt the worst company I have ever dealt with. We have now removed all our commercial insurance from them as a result of this issue. If you value your sanity do not use AXA.”

“The most terrible insurance company! Travelled to Istanbul in March and had my case opened by airport staff. Reported in airport and made a small claim when i returned. AXA refused to pay-even with my evidence, and do not reply to calls or emails. Esculated to Resolver now 8 months on. DO NOT USE AXA!”

“AXA reviewed my claim 3 years later and found that they had taken the wrong amount as an excess. Even though I was not asking them for the money they acted very honestly and returned the difference. A big thank-you to Louise who worked on the case and Liz who I spoke to by phone. Big company showing small firm customer care!”

“I had Axa insurance in Switzerland for the household. The refuse to pay out on fire insurance for some reason (although I did not claim for this they confirmed) and Civil liability was not covered. You can only cancel at the end of the term and the company are clearly just after money and to minimize any payouts. Avoid at all costs.”

“Shocking non-existent service. Company should not be operating. Phones not answered after hours of waiting when I tried to claim on Coverwise travel insurance 3 months ago after a serious accident. Now they're trying to pay me off to cancel my complaint - after a call out of the blue from their Mexico complaints team, 3 months later.”

“Would give 0 stars if possible. Waiting for 7 hours in hospital for insurance approval and all they can do on the phone is make excuse and lie about it being sorted asap. I pay for this insurance so expect the correct service. Completely unprofessional and will not cancel this insurance asap.”

“Do not use AXA!!!!! I have emailed serval times to get my delayed baggage claim sorted out. I made the claim over a month ago and keep receiving an automated message saying they are too busy to assist me. I do not understand why I purchased insurance with them if they do not help when I need to make an insurance claim. I can not reach anyone by phone, EVER! However, it was super easy to get a hold of someone when I wanted to purchase the plan. I am so disappointed in this company. I did research before purchasing travel insurance, and they had good reviews. I guess you can not trust corporations to do their jobs anymore.”

“really bad service 1 year my vans been off the road , with no appropriate replacement , as promised. 2 garages have attempted to fix it , neither is regulated. SO beware I had my policy cancelled, in error. I have dealt with some rude complaint agents , who hung up the phone. Despite having 2 complaints upheld , i have been forced to go to the ombudsman. Avoid at all costs”
