Guardhog is able to amend its mistakes

In April-May, I had bad experience with Guardhog. They messed up during the process of selling me their policy, by making a number of confusing statements and failing to clarify the terms of the different types of policies they offer, leading me to believe I was insured against certain risks in my short let when in fact I was not. When an incident occurred and I inquired about a potential claim, they came back with a series of messages that were utterly confusing and inconsistent. Turned out I had no valid claim at all because I had no policy for when I had guests in the flat - which is exactly what I thought I had purchased.

However, as soon as I voiced my grievances through this site, I was contacted by a member of the upper management of the company, Mr Boldt, who had the amazing patience to go with me through the entire very long communications trail in huge detail. We spoke on the phone for at least half an hour. It was clear that he had familiarised himself with the record of communications between me and several different Guardhog employees. It was also clear that he cared about my case, and was determined to understand exactly what had gone wrong. He was also thinking of how the process as well as documents wording could be amended to prevent similar misunderstanding from happening again. I was impressed. After all, we customers are frequently on the receiving side of companies's errors or even incompetence. But one rarely gets anything more than a flat apology. Guardhog has the ability to put things right and to learn from its experience. In this respect, Guardhog is a worthy business. I am staying with them and would recommend.

Hi Dimitrina,

Thanks for taking the time to update this to reflect the fact that we managed to reach a positive resolution for you here!! Whilst things normally run extremely smoothly I guess the nature of life is that it doesn’t always…but we will always work hard to understand where anyone thinks we could have done better.

Above all very glad that you haven’t been put off sharing your home and that you’re going to continue working with GUARDHOG to do so!!

Versatile and efficient

Guardhog helps us to quickly set up flexible insurance policies, doing a lot of the leg work. It's efficient, versatile and easy to track policies. Would certainly recommend. Great customer service, in particular Hannah & Anna, both helping to quickly address a more complex query.

Go straight to Guardhog!

Excellent - I would recommend Guardhog. Don't bother with the comparison websites - so easy to talk through everything with a member of staff who really understood my requirements. Seemed to have all the options covered, even if my needs change in the future.
