“Terrible company”
Written on: 27/06/2019 by dangunnery (1 review written)
Literally the WORST company I’ve ever had to deal with. I will never use this company again. Changed policy and all it’s details including payments without notifying me. Ombudsman told me tat it was a serious legal issue if they have and I was entitled to complain, I’m just glad I’ve moved to another company. Very rude staff don’t know what they’re doing and managers who give attitude… Read Full Review

“Cons ”
Written on: 06/11/2017 by Bexewing (1 review written)
Took out policy last year for a car I was about to purchase but bought a different car on the day , they said it would be £300 extra but I refused as the online quote was cheaper for this car than the original car . Spoke to a supervisor who agreed to lower the cost was sent confirmation which I signed . Now nearly a year on they are saying that I owe £300 and that the supervisor sent wrong payment plan details . I have made a complaint which I was supposed to get a call within 48 hours have… Read Full Review

“AVOID AT ALL COSTS”
Written on: 08/08/2017 by Davisot404 (1 review written)
Don't expect to ever speak to someone. They don't send you any renewal paperwork and just take the money and when you attempt to cancel they want almost your years premium to do so! Everyone you speak to gives different info all of which is incorrect! They threaten you with debt collectors when you question the huge 'admin fee' anyone who goes with this company is gonna be taken for a ride!… Read Full Review

“Poor service and zero expertise”
Written on: 14/07/2017
This company is only interested in sales and take deposits for porported insurance readily. When insurers need further information, they pass this on too late leaving you no time to respond. Your insurance is then cancelled and you lose your premium contribution to the extent of 20% + fees. Nobody answers the phone at customer services despite holding for 50 minutes at a time for days on end. I don't think anyone actually works there… Read Full Review

“Horrendous service and mis management”
Written on: 11/05/2017 by Cars4u (1 review written)
DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY Have not sent any documents through after two weeks, my vehicles are not appearing on MID and therefore have no way of proving my insurance. Police have already issued a no insurance ticket to one of my employees that is on the policy. To get through to someone, it takes over an hour and even then not great help. Warning: Do not buy your policy through this broker… Read Full Review

They will find ANY reason to dispute your qualification for the insurance. They then still take their fee and the Insurer keeps your premium.

“Happy to be with insurance factory”
Written on: 28/02/2017 by garethm662 (1 review written)
People write a lot of bad reviews about insurance factory but they are actually really good.. they do not have the best customer service in the world. I was a convicted driver TT99 so as you can imagine my insurance would be high but insurance factory gave me best quote.and after a year it was dropped by £60 a month wich was really good. And when I lost my job and failed to pay the one month insurance factory gave me a extra month to come up with the money. So I have had a good experience with… Read Full Review

“I recently bought a car insurance from The Insurance...”
Written on: 14/11/2016 by royraja (1 review written)
I recently bought a car insurance from The Insurance Factory Ltd. As previously my car was insured under the company group car policy they not only disregarded that No Claims Bonus but at the same time charged me additional premium of £126 plus £45 administration fee. If I had to cancel the policy they would charge me £50 administration fee thus having no option other than to continue with the policy and pay the huge difference. All I requested them is to waive the £45 administration… Read Full Review

“So Dissatified ”
Written on: 21/10/2016 by Tilley126 (1 review written)
Been with Insurance Factory for less than a year. In this time I have changed vehicle on my policy 4-5 times as I lease a business vehicle. From the start I was never to pay a change over fee because of the amount of times I would need to change vehicle and that was the deal my lease company had with the insurers. Each time I have changed over vehicle they have charged me for changeover. All be it twice they have refunded me. Each change of vehicle takes 3-5 days, although you can only change… Read Full Review
