Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently highlight the competitive pricing, often finding policies significantly cheaper than competitors or renewal quotes. The website and user experience are consistently praised for being easy to navigate, straightforward, and quick, allowing for efficient policy setup and management. Many consumers appreciate the clarity of information and the ability to customize coverage to their needs. However, some customers also noted issues with customer service, describing it as difficult to reach a real person, with some experiencing unhelpful chatbots or robotic call center interactions. A few people reported difficulties retrieving quotes or issues with policy documents not appearing correctly. There were also isolated instances of strong dissatisfaction with the claims process, and concerns about changes in cover levels between comparison sites and the company's direct platform.

Moving house.

We're moving house and our new property needed insuring as soon as contracts were exchanged. As an existing customer with Aviva I had hoped to bridge the 2 properties with one policy. Disappointingly not an option; Aviva, you need to look at this.
Tried taking out a new policy for our new property to find the quote was higher than the renewal (due in 2 weeks) quote for our existing larger (more valuable) property.
Tried Go Compare and Aviva came in cheapest; £80 lower than the quote we received direct. Doesn't inspire loyalty in your customers. You got my business but only but chance. Must try harder!

I chose Aviva via Martin Lewis website

I chose Aviva after using Martin Lewis comparison site. The price & cover was very competitive.
Once transferred to the Aviva website the process was easy completing to start the car insurance policy.
Very happy with the entire process and would recommend Aviva to others.

Really poor phone support.

I hate using chatbots. It may be Aviva's preference but it's not mine, so I phoned. After the usual tedious recorded message (lots of patronising, irrelevant and massively irritating information, many completely useless options) I spent 12 minutes on hold, and was forced to listen to that terrible music. I finally got through to a human who took my details then cut the call for no reason and without asking me. He put the shockingly poor music back on, and transferred me to the wrong department. More time on hold; more time explaining to the wrong department; they transferred me to the right department - more time on hold with that horrible 'music'. After 25 minutes of this mickey-taking I was able to have the 90 second conversation necessary to get the information I needed. They call this the customer 'service' department. Fill in your own punchline. When it comes to renewal I will be looking for a company with a better reputation for phone support.

9 Years No Claims, Yet Prices Keep Rising

I value honesty and fairness, and I try to approach situations with grace and integrity. However, I feel genuinely disappointed with my recent quote from Aviva.

I’ve been offered an annual car insurance price of £514, alongside a £450 excess, for a 2011 vehicle. For something older and likely lower in value, this feels disproportionate and difficult to justify.

I also have 9 years of no claims discount, yet my premium seems to increase year after year rather than decrease. This is particularly discouraging, as careful driving and loyalty don’t appear to be reflected in the price.

I understand that pricing is based on risk and many factors behind the scenes, and I respect that companies need to operate sustainably. But from a customer perspective, this quote feels excessive and discouraging.

I hope for more transparency and fairness in how prices like this are determined. At the moment, it leaves me feeling that loyalty and reasonableness aren’t being reflected in the cost.

I hope this feedback is received, honest but respectful and that it might contribute in some way towards more balanced pricing for customers in similar situations.

I've just changed to Aviva

I've just changed to Aviva. Whilst it was not the cheapest quote I received, I opted for the Gold Standard, and paying monthly their interest rates was the most competitive and they do not charge for policy changes, I've also dealt with them before a few years ago. I only left because their increase for renewal was too high.

Policy increased by £200 per month…

Policy increased by £200 per month despite no changes other than moving house. Aviva stated this was due to the policy lapsing for more than seven days—I was in the middle of a move and didn’t realise auto-renew wasn’t in place, so the lapse was around 14 days.

The cars, coverage, and usage all remained exactly the same. I would have accepted a reasonable admin fee for the lapse, but an additional £2,300 per year feels excessive and unjustified.
