I had been insured with general accident for just over a year, I purchased a new vehicle and informed general accident about the change and they gave me the new premium quote of £120 a month (I was 19) which seemed fair so I continued the policy. I've now received an email (5months later) explaining that they made a mistake in the quote and actually the premiums should be 210 a month and that I hadn't been insured for the previous 5 months. I argued that I should not have to pay the extra as I agreed to the quote they gave me and it was their mistake, I was told directly 'if you're not happy with the quote, leave us'. They didn't even apologise for the mistake, leaving me out of pocket and more scarily, If I would have had to claim in the time, I wouldn't have had any insurance. Please don't use this company!!

I have been trying to get a quote on a potential newish car. I had to enter my job and organisation twice. It time logged me out when my husband was trying to enter his details and did not store what we had already up loaded AN hour later I still did not have a quote

The purchase of the policy was easy.After the purchase you have to supply all documents by scanning online. All communications have to be made online. You can't speak to an agent, it's all done online which is the modern way of conducting business but I prefer to speak to an agent

Very easy to arrange my car insurance which saved me about £100.

Much more economical than my previous policy and with a name I knew. Hope never to need to claim though!

I change my car after 3 months and had a nightmare getting hold of a phone number and then they were totally unhelpful and said they were an On-line company only and didn't do anything by phone. Somewhat unusual for an Insurance group. They also took over £60 for cancelling fee so decided I'd go elsewhere - appalling NON service all round. Would never use them again nor recommend them - but advise how bad they are!

Easy to use, but can't get any customer service after the first month it seems. Also, they think they'll be charging me £1000 for next years insurance but Hastings are offering £500, every other insurance company are offering similar. Nice try, but you're not getting me to shell out double just because you were the cheapest on my first year of insurance.

I have never known a company where you cannot speak to someone in person. I am having trouble accessing my details online and no matter how I try I cannot get to speak to anyone. This is not good customer service MB from Leeds

Stupid policy with no claims. You can't use the years on more than one policy.
