1st CENTRAL Insurance Reviews

Obtaining the quote and accepting it was easy and appropriately quick. However, I had a question about the implications of use in voluntary work, and for this I used the Chat feature. This took well over an hour, to the point that I ended one attempt and started again.

OVER CHARGING 1st CENTRAL INSURANCE

OVER CHARGING 1st CENTRAL INSURANCE
who you employ cannot speak good English also you charge way over the normal price, start charging more after you get People to pay for insurance.
I changed my vehicle which was on a Sunday, I could not get other quotes as I needed to drive the vehicle that day,.
If I could put no stars then I would.

The add on sections are a pain

The add on sections are a pain! Especially when you’ve already selected the highest insurance cover they still try to upsell you. Other than that it was simple and straightforward.

I took out car insurance with this company and have just had a phone call to say that I had not declared a claim when a fox hit my car. This is rubbish I was completely open about this claim and they are now asking for a further £150. I spoke to a friend who had a very similar experience. I am still trying to speak to someone in authority. When I asked I was just left hanging on the phone
