    Rang them to request a change of address and they wanted me to pay an extra £80 per month....apparently its a more high risk postcode....funny that because when I got some quotes from other insurers my premium only would have been £10 extra a month...so cancelling the policy with them. DONT BE MISLEAD BY THEIR CHEAP QUOTE. Looking back know, it was too true good to be true....getting VERY CHEAP comp insurance as a 24 year old lady driver with 2 year exp, 4 points on license and with my hubby as an additional driver....and you get free breakdown too!! DONT BE TEMPTED PEOPLE!

    I insured with Quinn- Direct after finding them the cheapese car insurance on the compare websites. I got my car and insured on a provisional license as I was learning at the time. I paid for the insurance in full. However, 3 months down the line I have now passed my driving test & rang to inform them and they have put it up by £445 which is same as what I have already paid, so they have doubled it!! Plus, because I had paid the first part in full, I then had to pay the money up front in F ...

    Insured my car through Quinn as they came back with the lowest quote. Moved house after 3 months of the policy and customer service staff informed me that due to the postcode being higher risk the premium would be increasing from 40.50 to 84.95 pounds a mounth. Checked on comparison websites and the new quote is about £50 pounds a mounth.I have cancel policy and have to pay 350 pounds after 3,5 month of cover.
    50% of beginning premium plus 20% of additional premium.

    Never agein !!!!!!!!!! ...

    I'm today cancelling my policy with Quinn after 3 years with them. They are great until you're unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident.

    I was unlucky enough to have a minor bump (we're talking really minor here, scuffed bumpers, cracked lights, and no injuries) the day after my policy renewed. Quinn had already sent out the new policy agreement with payments etc on it, but then tried to retrospectively recalculate it (*after* they had agreed to the original), and want to more than doub ...

    Insured my car through Quinn as they came back with the lowest quote. Moved house (about 500 yards away) after about 6 months of the policy and customer service staff informed me that due to the postcode being higher risk the premium would be increasing by £72 pounds. Apparently the fact that the car is now parked overnight in a garage inside a secure gated car park does nothing to negate this higher risk. Checked on comparison websites and the new quote is about £1 cheaper than the ...

    My hubby whilst learning to drive had an accident in April 09. Quinn-Direct Car Insurance still (now October) have not settled the claim. After complaining to head office, it took 4 weeks and 15 phone calls we got a letter (had to get it faxed as it still hasnt arrived in post), to say that they are currently not in position to settle the claim due to statements they have to check. Its taken them 7 months, in the meantime the car in still lying in a garage, fully comp insurance was paid for in f ...

    My daughter has just passed her driving test after having the policy for 5 months with quinn direct, on a provisional licence. We rang to inform them of the change, and was told her insurance would now cost £327 extra on her premium. Instead of £42 per month it has now shot up to £109 per month. There is a huge cancellation fee, so we cannot afford to cancel. We will wait until the policy ends. Then stay well away. Quinn Direct are a rip off.

    About a month ago we started a new policy with quinn direct car insurance to insure my car. I filled out the direct debit form and sent it off WITH the no claims evidence letter from my old insurer. a month later after thinking everything was fine, I recieve a letter telling me the policy has been cancelled from the 20th of september, which is over a week ago of me recieving the letter (meaning I have been driving uninsured unknowingly!!)! I quickly contact them, they say they haven't recieved t ...

    In April of this year I put my son with a provisional licence as a named driver on my Clio 1.2 for £35 per month as this was the cheapest quote I had found. In July he passed his test and Quinn put my insurance up to £138 per month! I rang customer service and asked how much it would be to cancel the policy and was told £35 cancellation fee. At beginning of September I cancelled my direct debit and also rang to cancel the policy. A few days later I received a letter from Quinn ...

    My policy was canclled without me knowing as they said there was no mandate set up when there actually was as it was emailed to them as they asked me to.
    They then said that they have not recieved my email. Which they replied to and I have a copy of.
    They also told me that to start up my policy I would have to pay £1100. when I asked them what happend to the deposit I put down they said I have lost it all.

    So I would reccomend everyone to avoid Quinn Direct, there left hand doesn't know w ...

    Quinn-Direct operate a scam which brings them to the top of the list on search engines for cheap insurance for young drivers. What they do no tell you is unlike most reputable brokers they increase your premium massively if you are unfortunate enough to pass your driving test, they will hit you with a "variation" cost. I am talking about £2,500 extra. Getting your money back is an epic, so do yourself a favour, AVOID!!

    Quinn direct is a great company until you make a claim.

    They take the remaining premium off the top and then your excess, as well as undervaluing your car.

    Customer service is rubbish, from the highest level to the lowest they provide appalling service, basically just quote irrelevant points to you in an attempt to pacify you, whilst none of them appear available to make any decisions whatsoever.
    Poor customer service, they are the only insurance company i know who are trying to make a profit ...

    Quinn-Direct Car Insurance is a disgrace, i've been very happy with them till i moved address about 6 miles away from my old one, tried to change my address with them i they want to charge me £1235 pounds!!!!
    Ive been trying to get a no claims bonus as i am a young driver but i'm forced to cancel the policy and start again from scratch!
    The funny thing is that if i was to get a new quote with them with the same details but the new address the insurance premium is even cheaper than what i w ...

    Quinn operate with VERY sharp practice. They tempt you to take our cheap provisional licence insurance with them. When you pass your test they then immediately charge you - without any consultation - a VAST sum of money - in our case £5,100 - to amend your policy to a full licence. They don't allow you to cancel!

    Quinn direct are a bad company and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
    They was happy enough to take my money but as soon as I made a claim it changed.

    It's been a month since I claimed, have to keep chasing them they decided to write off my car last week from looking at photo's after 3 weeks.

    They haven't offered me a figure. So I have no car for a money and no money for a month.

    On reading reviews when I first started with Quinn-Direct 2years ago I was very apprehensive. Two years later I have to say I am more than impressed with this Company. The Staff are very professional and Courteous any time I have had to call them. Someone mentioned their accent which I have to say is strong however very clear spoken and very pleasant to listen to. I have no hesitation in recommending this Company to anyone as I find their Customer Service First Class.

    I have had the misfortune to have had some dealings with Quinn-Direct Car Insurance as I was recommended to them by a close friend.

    From senior management downwards - they seem to fly by the seat of their pants - every issue I raised was ignored despite 15 Calls

    2. They are offering bottom book value prices to all claimants in relation to the value of their vehicles.

    Got a quote through GoCompare.com, cheapest by far (The other insurers were > £2k p/a)

    First time driver, 1 year named driving experience, Group 2 car, £1295 (With optional windscreen and legal protection). Of course, the free breakdown cover provided is an added bonus.

    Requested the named driver evidence a day after getting the policy from my mothers insurance company, 2 weeks later, still nothing through the post so contacted them and they say a postal strike is occurring.
