Whilst it has cost me more to do so, our policy is now more accurate after acquiring an up to date valuation of the rebuild costs, at your suggestion.

From Market Deeping to Boston

Fortunately, we have never needed to make a claim. But we have always felt that we have been offered the best cover for our needs.

We're sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. As per separate correspondence, we are treating the matter as a complaint. We can understand your frustration about all the questions, but insurers expect us to properly understand what is happening in the property. We have spoken with you today and hope to go through a full quote once you have the time to speak with us.

They are ok

They give you ample to time to look over your chosen policy, and they are good at being competitive with their pricing; however they got important details wrong on my policy, but this was quickly rectified.

Competitive pricing, but don't expect quick responses

We've insured our self-drive hire business with Alan Boswell for the last couple of years due to their simple hiring process and competitive pricing. We never needed to make a claim so hard to judge how good they would've been to deal with for that, however communication the rest of the time has been pretty awful. When we came to cancel our policy due to closing the business it took 2 weeks to hear how much a refund would've been and then almost another week to actually get the money back in our account. We had other insurance with other brokers who told us instantly how much the refund would be (and they were also only brokers, which was AB excuse) and we had the money back in our account within 3 days of asking to cancel.

Don't use for car insurance

Been using AB for car insurance for years, this year I got a quote for £4000 saying it was the cheapest they could find. I found an alternative quotes all under £1000. I realuse they have been ripping me off for years!

We are sorry to hear this but would say that we are not in the business if ripping people off. Not all policies are the same, so we hope you are covering at least on a like for like basis. Because Trustpilot is anonymous, we can’t investigate your case in detail. If you wanted to contact us on feeback@alanboswell.com we would be able to provide a more detailed response.
