Hi Steven,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your renewal price was higher than expected. Premiums can change from year to year due to updates in underwriting criteria, individual risk factors, or wider market conditions, but we completely understand how frustrating it can be when the increase feels significant.
We appreciate you highlighting the difference between your renewal quote and comparison site prices. Your feedback is valuable and will be passed on to the relevant teams so we can continue to review and improve our pricing approach and customer experience.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave your review.

Resolved - eventually.
I wouldn't use this company again! I declined a policy online and they renewed it anyway. Customer Service were helpful enough but it will have taken me over 2 weeks to get my money returned to my card if it comes when they say, completely unacceptable when it's their system at fault. I don't trust them and will avoid them in future. PS - after posting this review the company responded and refunded my payment very quickly. Therefore I've awarded them an extra star.

Hi pam,
I am very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your experience.
We do aim to be as transparent as possible and notify our customers weeks in advance of the renewal of our intention to automatically renew unless you either decline the renewal online or tell us over the phone.
If you would like to send your policy details to us at social@geoffreyinsurance-bisl.co.uk I would be happy to review this for you.

Amateur service and Greedy with it.
Wanted to change the policy to a new vehicle on the following Monday and spoke to a foreign sounding woman who wanted to know the price?? I went round in circles for 30+ minutes asking the price of what? She refused to put me through to anyone else, I tried giving her the cost of the new car but not what she wanted? In the end I had to revoke the policy (which I did not want to do) and was charged £131.76 for the privilege. Absolutely dreadful service and total lack of expertise. And Greedy with it

I think it's still very early
I think it's still very early. The power of 1 evaluation with the company is so serious and responsible, which I believe it is and I only start using my insurance on the 22nd on Saturday, therefore, I had no experience. It is the first contact. But I hope that this company is a responsible company. And that you can provide an excellent service in any way. I want to thank you for the opportunity to be with you.

Hi Marisa,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear how stressful this has felt for you. Charges landing when money is tight can be overwhelming, and it’s the last thing you need when you’re already having a tough time.
We never want anyone to feel there’s no understanding or support, so we’d really like to take a closer look at what’s happened and see what we can do to help get this sorted for you.
We will be in touch with you to see how we can help.

I had to pay £60 because Geoffery don't insure electric vehicles
New car day arrived, went on line to amend my policy and was unable to do so.
I called customer services to make the amendment, only to be told that they will not insure my vehicle as it is electric. And they will have to cancel the policy and charge me £60.00 for the priviledge.
Not happy, I did not want to cancel. I just wanted to amend the vehicle and was prepared to pay the extra premium. But not to pay for cancelling the policy when its there fault for not being able to insure electric vehicles.

Hi Ian,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and feedback with ourselves. I'm sorry to hear we were unable to offer a quote to insure your new vehicle with ourselves and you were unhappy with the cost to cancel. Please can you email your policy details over to social@geoffreyinsurance-bisl.co.uk so we can discuss this further with you.

AVOID THIS COMPANY !!!
They may be cheap for car insurance but you never know what they’re like until you have to report an incident. Absolutely awful….., after initial contact they don’t want to be bothered with you so if you’re happy to spend hours on the phone being passed to 5 or 6 different departments all telling you different things then sign up. Better off going with a more reputable company

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, as this is not the level of service we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating it is to feel passed between departments and not receive clear information, especially during a stressful situation like reporting an incident.
We’d really like to look into this further for you and raise it directly with your policy underwriter. If you could please email us your policy details to social@geoffreyinsurance-bisl.co.uk, we will make sure this is reviewed properly and handled as quickly as possible.

Great as long as you don't need to…
Great as long as you don't need to claim, communicate or renew. Update. *** Geoffrey phoned me to discuss my experience, confirmed my ludicrous renewal quote had been a mistake and would send me an correct and improved offer. As yet, nothing received....alternative insurance has obviously been secured.

Disgusting customer service
Disgusting customer service from this insurance company. Cannot give a simple quotation to change my car unless I buy it 1st and then call them to change so then I have no choice! No option to send an email complaint in this day and age!! It's 2026!!! Absolute shambles of a provider. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Hello Imy,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
We’re really sorry to hear how frustrated you felt during your experience — that’s certainly not the impression we want to leave. We completely understand why you’d want clarity on the cost of changing your car before committing to a purchase.
Mid-term vehicle changes can sometimes only be fully confirmed once the new vehicle details are finalised, as premiums are calculated using the exact registration and risk information. That said, we appreciate how this can feel limiting, and your feedback is important in helping us review how clearly we explain this process.
We’re also sorry you found it difficult to raise a complaint by email. We know convenience matters, and we’re always looking at ways to improve how customers can get in touch with us.
If you’d be open to it, we’d really welcome the opportunity to look into this further for you.
We will be in touch with you shortly and we’ll make sure your concerns are properly reviewed.
Thank you again for your feedback!
Laura

Hi Kenny,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — and we’re really sorry to hear how stressful this situation was for you and your wife!
We can only imagine how worrying it must have been to be stopped and told there was an issue with the insurance. That’s never something any customer should have to go through, and we completely understand the anxiety it would have caused.
We’re pleased to hear the matter has now been resolved, but we’re sorry it took longer than it should have. Your comments regarding the certificate of insurance are also important, and we’ll be sure to feed this back internally as we’re always looking at how we can improve our service and communication.
If you’d like us to review the situation in more detail, please email your policy details to us at social@geoffreyinsurance-bisl.co.uk — we’d be more than happy to look into it further!
Thanks Laura

Hi Ryan,
We’re sorry to read your comments and to hear that you feel this way about your recent experience.
We want to reassure you that we are not under new ownership, and we certainly do not operate in the way you’ve described. Renewal premiums can sometimes change due to underwriting criteria, claims history, market conditions, or updated risk information. However, these changes should always be explained clearly and professionally.
Regarding instalment options, payment methods can occasionally be affected by account history, credit agreements, or changes in lending criteria. That said, this should never feel abrupt or unexplained, and you should always be treated with courtesy and respect.
If you wish for us to review your renewal offer, please send your policy details to us at social@geoffreyinsurance-bisl.co.uk.
