“Jaguar Enthusiasts Insurance”

Written on: 10/12/2012 by phoenix_escort

Generally always found Footman James to be pretty good and offer reasonable value, though they did seem to put their prices up a fair bit last year. I've now come to change cars and they won't let me put my new car onto my existing policy since it isn't a Jaguar, OK no problem I thought, will change policy types. Except they won't let me use what's left of what I paid on my old policy on the new one, and won't refund me as I renewed 7 months ago and can only cancel under 6! Absolutely... (read more)

“FJ turn into ripoff merchants”

Written on: 21/06/2012 by labeline (4 reviews written)

I had been with Aon for years getting consistently good quotes for years. When Footman James took over I was worried that things would change. For a couple of years things were ok but then it changed. My renewal premium this year jumped from £177 to £699. A 300% increase. I phoned for an explanation and was informed that last year had been a mistake and that the premium should have been £1777, a 1000% increase over the previous year when it had been £190 and that I was lucky that this...

“I was the fish they wanted in their keep net!”

Written on: 28/11/2011 by Bedfordkev (1 review written)

What I am desperately seeking is an insurance company that will offer me consistencly in their dealings. I am not a natural switcher always looking for the best deal but I do expect my insurer to provide value for money & offer a reasonable deal year in year out. Footman James are not that company! In the first year I was given a good quote with a reputable insurer & I was enticed. Unfortunately when it came to renewal my quote was more than 50% greater than year 1 and whilst they reduced...

“terrible when it comes to a claim”

Written on: 30/08/2011

I have been getting insurance through Footman James for my vairious classic cars over a number of years now and have mostly ended up with Equity Red Star (FJ are brokers). Whilst the recoevery is very good indeed as noted by another reviewer, I have recently had to make a claim and they have been terrible. Poor communication between them and the insurance company. Failing to call me or return calls plus sending out irrelevant and spurious letters. Changing the conditions of the agreed... (read more)

“worth the money”

Written on: 30/06/2011 by fxgtu (3 reviews written)

My first insurance in the UK was in 2007 with FJ. I've got high quotes from others and a friend recommended FJ to insure my car. They weren't on any comparison sites, but still beating them by their price. So far so good I thought. In a week we got broken down on a motorway, gave them a call, two hours later we were going home on a towing truck. They coverd the towing, no questions, no further paperwork was needed, well done. Few months later I moved home and I notify them. No administration... (read more)
