Windscreen replacement - phone system transferred me direct to autoglass, denying me the right to shop around for a more convenient and timely replacement, resulting in having to wait 3 weeks for completion. To add insult to injury, in replacing the windscreen, the operatives broke a front quarterlight, meaning car was off the road up to 3.00pm the following day waiting for that to be replaced. All round poor show, from both General Accident and Autoglass, both of whom failed to allow me to speak with a representative.

Competitively priced, easy to join. Not had an accident(long may that remain) so no gripes whatsoever.

Very easy to set up and use the website. 15yrs without a claim and then some silly person drives into the side of my car. Usual worries about claiming etc, which were soon found unnecessary when making a claim through their online system. Never had a claim dealt with so efficiently. Yet to find out if they will increase my premium due to non fault accident, I hope not as I would really like to stay with them as a customer. Thank you GA.

They managed to mess up my direct debit payments and you have no way of contacting them by telephone to sort out any issues, that means i received a reminder each month. In all my time with car insurance (over 20 years) this is the only insurance company that managed to mess up my payment. I wrote to them on a few occasions to sort out the issue but never received a reply. I would not be using them again

Didn’t have the best experience with general accident, when buying the policy I couldn’t get in touch with them over the phone so just had to buy online and then 6 months into the policy when I wanted to contact them to make a change to my policy I couldn’t get in touch with them again over the phone. I then found out that they are an online only company which hadn’t been put across to me at the start of the policy, this caused me to have to cancel my policy halfway through as I couldn’t find a way to make the change that I needed to online.

Unfortunately I had my first accident recently, it was not my fault at all but general accident were so easy to use, all online so even though it happened in the evening I could send all the details through when I finally made it home. I've had my car repaired and it was just so easy, I had the choice of my repairer which was great because I could find someone who had great reviews as I've heard some horror stories of repair centres.

Rang them to check details and would have not had the right cover from their poor quote system, policy wording and poorly trained staff who took 3 attempts to explain their policy and contradicted herself!!! I am in the industry and aware of some of the issues. Very unhelpful and potentially dangerous level of service
