A competent and clear inception process
Jessica had a clear and friendly approach. She explained matters in a concise and direct manner, clarifying understanding as we went thorough the inception process. If other firms could employ staff of this standard, life would be a little easier.

Verging on corrupt. Avoid
The cover was fine, until I came to cancel after passing my test after 6 months, when they wanted to charge me an EXTRA 50% for cancelling my policy. What a con.
Avoid these cowboys.

I had a great experience with Collingwood Learner Driver Insurance. They offered very competitive rates for a year's cover, which made it excellent value for money.
The team took the time to explain everything about the insurance in detail, so I knew exactly what was included and felt confident in my choice. They also provide a free app that my daughter can use to help her prepare for her driving test, which is a fantastic extra benefit.
Overall, excellent customer service, great value, and helpful resources. I would definitely recommend Collingwood Learner Driver Insurance to anyone looking for learner driver cover.
