Kameran was incredibly helpful

Kameran was incredibly helpful, he spoke slowly and made it easy for me to understand exactly what I was purchasing, one of the best insurance advisors I have ever dealt with, I was inquiring about several different insurance options and he took the time to explain them all to me without making me feel rushed, in the future I will be asking to speak to Kameran for all my insurance needs,
one more thing give the man a pay rise he deserves it!! He is very good at his job and puts the customer at ease throughout the whole process. Mr P Wright

Classic bike insurance

I have dealt with Footman James in the past and once again the experience in sorting out my classic bike insurance was straight forward and everything explained in full.

Insurance renewal

Have used Footman James for quite a few years now but next year I will be shopping around as their prices are no longer competitive . Nearly doubled in one year despite having no claims and only driving less than 1,000 miles . I chose to speak to a person to renew .
The lady I dealt with was very informative but rather too serious for me ? She could have been a bit more friendly ! Very “belt and “braces !!!!!Will look elsewhere next year !

Absolutely furious with Footman James…

Absolutely furious with Footman James classic car insurance brokers price hike - because footman James have dumped Ageas Insurance and opted to go with another KGM insurance Brokers... Classic Car owners are being charged multiple administration fees on top of renewal quotes... The reason Footman James is using another broker is because Footman James is wanting more profits so cutting it's own administrative staff and we the classic car owners are being forced to pay two broker fees.. Dump Footman James go direct to KGM... My insurance went up from £102 annual to £380 absolutely furious.. After 10 years being with them.. Massive price hikes WITH NO Change in car plus owner circumstances.. Gratuitous Greed!!.

Excellent customer service staff.

Excellent customer service staff. Rang for quote for rare vintage motorcycle and the process was very smooth. They were not at all fazed by the unconventional specification of the bike- very impressed and will be using for further vintage bikes. Price explained in detail and very reasonable.

It is great to talk with real people with a limited wait time. The staff are really friendly and helpful and guide and you through the complex process of vehicle insurance. The premiums are very competitive and i would highly recommend them if your looking to insure your favourite cars.

Reasonable premiums

The premiums were reasonable and Kyle was very helpful and pleasant on the phone, and dealt with my queries with commendable patience. I hope to insure my car again with them in a year's time.
