If you got with them you will end up with debt dead. They very good make you foolish. First quote was very cheap I put my details no claim exactly right year and they said it’s wrong and increased then send me another email ask DVLA code them another email said driving license took year I put nearly date witch I don’t remember exactly dates I got license. Then added another amount. Then my insurance cost nearly £2000. I’ve got 2017 old Benz care witch I pay last year small insurance.

“Run away”

★☆☆☆☆

written by KaydenceSims71 on 11/04/2023

Ladybird cancelled my insurance because… Ladybird cancelled my insurance because of a change of address and then took out money from my account the following month. When I called them, they said I was owing them £212.61 and sent me an email to that effect, of which they had never sent me before me calling them. They also blackmailed me saying if I do not pay, they would not issue me with my NCB. I think Ladybird, Close Brothers and Right Choice are all in this cxx game. It made no sense to cancel my insurance as I have never had a claim and still charge me for them canceling my insurance. Also I was told over the phone, that I was paying in arrears. Who pays for services nowadays in arrears, especially insurance. Has anyone heard anything so ridiculous??? PUBLIC, KEEP AWAY FROM THEM PLEASE. They are bad news.

“Possibly the worst company I have ever dealt with -...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by SofieEr on 14/03/2023

Charged me £245 for 15 days worth of cover despite contacting them within the cooling-off period in an attempt to cancel. Spoke to two ladies via telephone, found both to be extremely rude and unhelpful - also provided contradictory information. Very unprofessional company who are very hard to get a hold of - be prepared to wait for a very long time if you wish to speak to them by phone, email communication also very poor as they pick and choose when they feel like responding. Will be taking my personal matter further but would seriously advise anyone considering using this company to go elsewhere.

“Terrible ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Delilahr438 on 01/02/2023

Did policy online and Paid in full . I phoned them as my documents didn’t upload for them to tell me it had been cancelled but I could speak to the sales team to get another quote . All documents were in my portal . I said I’d cancel then and she said the charge was £115 what a nonsense They didn’t do anything I did all the work online . Avoid ladybird car insurance at all costs. I’m now doubting I will get my £500 back off of them . And I’ve got to wait up to 30 days in this day and age that’s rediculous. Avoid this company as they are very rude on the phone as well and started threatening me for no Reason accusing me of driving my car without insurance because I wouldn’t take the insurance out with them disgusting behaviour

“13 hours on call ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by CherishO'Hara106 on 07/05/2021

Complete incompetence, on calls to this company for 13 hours on a continuous loop. 7 emails which no bothers to respond to. Complaints raised which do not get addressed. I will be referring this to the ombudsman now. Requested a simple policy amendment in putting a new private plate. Was promised this was done yet no documentation to confirm the change. Back on the calls now hoping to speak to anyone who will help. Just spoke to receptionist who said she cant help but she has a new number to transfer me through to. Still waiting... Avoid this company like the plague. It is horrendous the wait times and there is a non existent customer service. Avoid avoid avoid!!

“DONT USE LADYBIRD”

★☆☆☆☆

written by AvahWatkins on 03/04/2019

Will never insure through Ladybird insurance again. Changed my car 3 months until the end of the policy, informed Ladybird and they said they would need to cancel it as the car was too expansive. I didn't receive an extra no claims bonus as I didn't finish the full year, onto of that they then took a £20 fee plus 10% charge and sent the remaining amount which I will hopefully receive shortly. I then searched for a new provider and Ladybird came up as one of the cheapest. Phoned them up and they said they're a broker etc etc etc. Will never use them again!!!

“Worst Insurance Sevice Ever!!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by NickGardner90 on 21/03/2019

Had the worst experience with Ladybird Insurance. They outright refused acceptance of my no claims policy on numerous occasions with my previous insurer AFTER I'd paid their deposit and have now charged a whopping cancellation fee for leaving them because of the way they operate.

“AVOID AT ALL COSTS! £160 to cancel within 14 days!!!! ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Beckydevlin_ on 27/01/2019

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! £160 to cancel within 14 days cooling off period!!! Hassled constantly!! Unprofessional. Asked for lots of evidence AFTER paying!! Asked for no claim discount proof from previous insurer and sent it and then they still wanted phone confirmation, so what was the point of sending it at all? Not in addition to being continuously hassled with over 5 phone calls from them one morning, (24th January), 3 emails and texts!!!! I would send documentations after recieving threatening emails at night that stated they would cancel my car insurance if I didn’t send it before 14 days. I would ring up customer services to ask why, I am recieving these emails, and all they would do is request more and more documentation. They asked for a bank statement with proof of address, driving licence check codes of me and my mother, V5 and to top it off a no claims discount email from my previous insurers.

Taken out a policy online then advised over the phone something was wrong , amended the policy & inflated the cost to over £800 - £300 above the previous quote yet i could get the insurance at the same price as the original purchase elsewhere. rang & told them i want to cancel the policy after less than 24hrs & complain, was told someone would be in touch but no one ever was & are trying to charge me £140 for less than 24hrs cover. ripp off merchants avoid at all costs.

“Avoid at all costs”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Sagex252 on 10/12/2018

Honestly the worst customer experience I have ever had with this company. Completely incompetent and shocking customer services. Unable to answer any questions that I had regarding my policy. Did not include commuting on my policy documents. Unclear regarding the documents required. Price quoted differed by >30% when actually getting cover. AVOID!

“Utterly despicable way to treat customers - keep well...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Lineoutking on 19/11/2018

Bought car insurance for my daughter who lives away - gave information as accurately as I could but knew that she would be contacted to clarify the details - I slightly under estimated the NCD and wasn't aware that she had changed jobs from waitress to cleaner (she's only 19 and in part time education) since I last spoke with her. Upon changing the details, they added about 15% to the quote plus an admin fee (knowing full well that I couldn't be certain that the information I was giving was guaranteed - even though it was based on the last policy I arranged through Confused.com and was the basis for the quote so it can't have been that far out!) and then when I said that i wanted to cancel they are effectively charging me £40+ a day for cancellation charges. When I complained all they said was that it's in the T's & Conditions - as if I was ever going to read them. Naturally nobody mentioned the risk of exorbitant cancellation charges when they were taking my details. It's quite clear that they don't give a damn about their customers or reputation!

“Cancelled policy with no notice.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ParisCarr on 24/09/2018

Policy was cancelled on me whilst away on holiday.. Apparently the documents I sent was not clear enough to read. Had to set up a new policy! Costing more than the previous quote and set up using the exact same ‘unreadable’ documents I’d sent them in the first place, that I pulled from a previous email I sent them! Terrible!!
