“Having been with them for 2 years when I finally try to make a glass claim I find I can't book an appointment with Autoglass through the system and every attempt to contact by phone to get it resolved results in minutes of recorded 'guff', a bizarre selection of music and absolutely no response by a human being. This has definitely put me off renewing - if this is what it is like trying to get a windscreen crack fixed what would happen in the event of a serious accident? No support or help whatsoever.”

“My wife and I wanted to check if we could do a multicar policy instead of renewing on her own as her policy is dew in 7 days now! Which also is cut off date for notice of termination for renewal. All I needed was someone to talk to me and explain the process, but after a month they're not contactable by telephone unless you are making a claim. When I clicked on the help boxes and tried to do the online thing,I could only get pre set answers none relevant.,..aaàggg”

“They provided all the help and information that I needed. I would ask help from them in the near future.”

“No contact with insurance what’s so ever. Once I had purchased the insurance I had no contact even when I wanted to add another driver.”

“The GA Telematics app in itself is generally well designed (if a little slow here and there). Although what is totally unforgivable is the black box which is shoddy, to put it politely. Be prepared to be told that you were speeding and that you’re accelerating and braking is bad no matter how safely you drive. If you start your car and sit still for 10+ minutes then turn your engine off you will be given a score of 0/100 which is infuriating since they reserve the right to cancel your policy if you have a single journey score of under 50/100. The premise of a black box policy is sound, but in practice the gps it relies on is comically bad, my experience with this company has really put me off of taking out a black box policy in the future.”

“Easy to set up. All done online to keep costs down, upload documents online and 14 day code to phone them with any issues otherwise phone through the claims number if there is an accident. Any chnages to your policy like change of address or add a driver is done online and tell you how much it would be to add them instantly. Good service haven't had to make a claim, but so good so far.”

“I cancelled my policy on the 22nd of May 2018 online. I had a message of a Refund in 5 workings days. Up till now, they have not responded to my emails and I cannot ring them. I have not been refunded a penny! They are the worst I have dealt with.”

“Good price but the lack of a call centre and the incomplete website on which your forced to depend can be extremely frustrating.”

“I had my reminder to automatically renew my car insurance which I was happy to do. I received an email thanking me for staying with General Accident for another year and summary of my new policy. I then received notice 4 days later that I had not renewed my policy. I was unable to speak to anyone by phone as you need to put in your policy number and I kept being told I had the wrong number. I tried contacting via emails but had no response. Eventually, having checked with my bank, my payment had been taken and after I tried again via email to make sure my car was insured I eventually got a reply saying they had received my payment. There was no apology or explanation as to why I received an email saying I had not paid and I still am unable to further anything by phone as it says my policy number is incorrect but it is the number on my policy. I appreciate General Accident are an online company but I would have thought there would be some way of speaking to somebody when you have an urgent problem. I think their aftercare service is not acceptable. After this experience I would not recommend General Accident.”

“Up Loaded NCD proof and the policy was cancelled with me being contacted or told that they needed further proof. They are impossible to contact and offer no solutions despite taking your money”

“I hit a pheasant and it broke my front grill. I had a quote from my preferred garage and then called GA. They were very helpful and sorted everything out from there on. I have nothing but praise, so unlike any other insurance people I have had to deal with. I didn't get past from one department to another and my claim got dealt with swiftly without any messing about. Well done GA, if your quote for my renewal is competitive I will definitely be using you next time.”

“No communication with the insurer. Since I had no claim then no need to contact them.”
