“car insurance”

★★★☆☆

written by spikeharry on 26/03/2024

t ried to insure on line and found a waste of time. trying to make payment was useless even though they had my full card details it would not accept payment. was given telephone number and spoke and everything was done expertly exactly as an insurance company should work. I f your directors had any sense scrap the internet take on more humans and you would quadrupal your takings.

“compare the market”

★★★☆☆

written by loaf01 on 22/07/2022

The go compare site said I would get the courtesy car and key insurance included. Well, I didnt, so for the £358.00 quoted I ended up paying £394.00, its a bit naughty.

“Good price. Terrifying reviews.”

★★★☆☆

written by 62Buckley on 27/04/2019

The renewal price I got was the best. The online reviews are terrifying. I am reduced to hoping I don't have to claim.

“CPA”

★★★☆☆

written by RihannaGuzman1946 on 12/08/2018

When taking out this insurance online as most customers will do, you will have to agree to a CPA - continuous payment authority - which allows Zenith to renew your policy automatically next year unless you intervene. The payment process indicates that you must call Zenith if you don’t want the CPA to be applied automatically or you can pay by direct debit - but no direct debit option exists In their online form. It would suit most customers to have the option to opt out of the CPA in the online payment process and many will not notice they have agreed to it. CPA’s are a great way for companies to keep charging when most customers will want to review their options in the market place. The onus on the company should be to request from the customer permission to charge rather than request the customer to stop them charging. It’s just where many insurers sit these days and it feels all wrong.

“Good price....don't contact by phone.”

I received a great price for car insurance but contacting Zenith by telephone was a very drawn out frustrating process.

“A few things which I did not like!!”

★★★☆☆

written by eiMooney471 on 02/05/2018

I received the quote and was happy to pay the price I full as I did not want to do a direct debit. Yet I was still required to provide my account details to set up a direct debit for future payments, what these future payments are I have no idea. Anyway I do not like this and will be cancelling the direct debit which has been set up etc... Also I received the quote through Compare the Market and it was highlighted that there was a courtesy car, I haven't seen that this is the case on my paperwork, but that my be my mistake and not Zenith Insurance.

“Good price but didn't get what I was expecting”

★★★☆☆

written by Teedy on 06/10/2017

Got this insurance throught MoneySupermarket online. My old insurance company had upped their price by about £100. I was happy enough with the price and had selected all that I wanted with the policy eg, windscreen cover etc. I then decided to buy online and everything went fine. Then I printed off my Certificate of Insurance and found that it didn't have "Main driver allowed to drive a car not belonging to him or hired to him" which has been of every policy I have ever had. I contacted the Zenith through an online chat and ask if this could be added to my policy and the guy said they couldnt offer it which was very disappointing. I only wanted it as very occasionally I would drive one of my sons cars. It would have influenced my decision to buy the policy if it had stated this on their website when I went to it to buy the policy but it didn't not that I could see. Apart from that it was a reletively easy website to use.

“I mean, does anyone like an insurance company? ”

★★★☆☆

written by RussP on 07/09/2017

Saved me a wedge of money on my last premium, took first payment 20 days before the agreed payment date. I guess what they give with the left, they take with the right.

“Bit dissappointed”

★★★☆☆

written by Betsybee10 on 04/02/2017

Just taken out car insurance with Zenith and received my certificate of insurance only to find that I am unable to drive any other cars on my policy, called customer services and they can't even do it as an add on because as a company they don't do it apparently, so am stuck with this insurance for a year. I drive my partners and sons cars and they now have to add me to their policies as an additional driver. Really not impressed as it said nothing on the application!!

“Arranging the Insurance”

★★★☆☆

written by Chloeo71 on 10/12/2016

Although the process of arranging insurance was easy. The price was also very competitive. These were the two reasons I went with Zenith. Although the insurance advisor was pleasant, I didn't feel I was his priority at the time and felt that I was the one prompting him to ensure I had the correct insurance package rather than being offered a range of products to meet my requirements. I hope my future dealings with Zenith are better.

“good insurance but 1 thing let it down see underneath ”

★★★☆☆

written by Ignacio306 on 22/12/2015

I got fully comp insurance but it doesn't cover me to drive other cars at 3rd party if the other car is insured that's the only fault I have with it. I think they need to look into this. The reason I tuk the policy out is this year I have to pay monthly and it was the cheapest option

“Ok”

★★★☆☆

written by Skylar490 on 14/08/2015

Added £200 when I went to retrieve my quote for no reason. Other than this I'm happy with the overall service.

“Systems need improvement ”

★★★☆☆

written by Annikai101 on 23/04/2015

Simply called to let the Company know I changed address. Apparently by just changing my address the policy was refused however I could restart the policy which could have resulted me losing my no claims bonus. Said I would call back to think about it. Spoke to another extremely helpful lady. She tried again and explained sometimes the system is not always correct. It did work which meaning my policy was still continued. All of the sales team need to make sure they are doing this as I felt this was very unfair the first time I called. Especially after being told that I would lose my no claims when starting the new policy with them.

I need to find out if anyone else has had any problems with Zenith car insurance. My vehicle was insured with Zenith, I then purchased another vehicle, I rang up to change over my insurance, but their systems were down so I did it online, I typed my card details in an everything, and it came up on the screen that the insurance had been changed over. Only to be pulled over two months later by the police telling me the vehicle had no insurance. The insurance hadn't been changed over by them. I'm now taking it to court as I've been giving 6points on my 9year clean license and 300 pound fine. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Not had a similar problem but I can vouch for not getting calls answered. I spent weeks trying to call for up to an hour without success. The reason for my call was I had a bike accident and they made up a story nothing like what happened. I sent them detais in writing, they altered nothing. In the end I gave up trying to fight. I don't think they should be allowed to sell insurance, the company is a disgrace. I hope you have emails or screen shots showing what you did as Zenith won't be of help.

Not had the same problem but I can vouch they are probably the most incompetent insurance company going. No one seems to know what they're doing or how to run the business. Sorry about you circumstances Naith - it doesn't surprise me though

I'm thinking about taking my car insurance out with Zenith. When I pay my deposit, is that all I pay until my monthly payment and does it cover me to drive other cars?

Monthly payments will come out automatically once you have returned your direct debit mandate. Driving other cars would depend on the cover you requested, if unsure, check or you could lose your license. More importantly you have accepted their quote because it's cheap and so is their service. An hour on the phone without answers, don't give details over the phone about accidents, they write down what they want and refuse to correct it. They shouldn't be in business.
