BEWARE
BEWARE - Ripe have a highly punitive refund policy on cancellations, offering only 10% refund after 121 days of the policy. I sold my vehicle and they have effectively kept the entire premium (once cancellation fees are added) for 1/3 of the time used on the cover. This is hidden in small print inside policy documents, it’s extremely underhand and possibly breaches UK consumer rights, I will be challenging this with Ripe and if I don’t get a satisfactory outcome I will be contacting the financial ombudsman. Stay well clear of this company.

Had been with ripe for a couple of years never had a problem made a claim last year and was settled within a couple of weeks really no problem came to my renewal and was informed sorry they couldn’t offer me a renewal as the underwriter would not cover me which was Aviva so I started hunting around and got a company coastal insurance who gave me a quote but told me because of my claim there where an additional 20% add on for my claim which I didn’t mind and agreed the quote who was the underwriter only Aviva who ripe said wouldn’t cover me this was not a write off claim damaged panel

More of the same
At first it seemed reasonably good despite their computer system crashing and the hard working David having to fill in the whole form again. But three days later I received a call from them saying that a typo had resulted in the policy being £5 cheaper and I needed to pay that. I suggested that waiving the £5 would be correct in these circumstances, but that was apparently not possible. They were still the cheapest no-frills policy, but do strike me as a bit unprofessional. David (who dealt with me) was clear, and worked hard despite the company and systems not being supportive to his work. I suspect the organisation is just another bureaucratic money-grabbing entity with bigwigs paid far more than they are worth, and a lack of investment in equipment and employees.

No claim bonus problems
Gave me a great price, and I purchased the policy. However it turned out they didn't accept my no claims bonus because it was from Motability. Therefore I had to leave. They were perfectly nice about it, but I was frustrated that it was not made clear that a no claim bonus was not permitted from Motability.

Hi Liz, thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re pleased to hear that you received a competitive quote and that our team was helpful throughout the process.
We’re sorry to hear that your policy could not proceed due to the no claims' bonus not meeting our acceptance criteria. We understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly after receiving a quote you were happy with.
No claims bonus requirements can vary between insurers, and certain types of no claims' history, including those earned through schemes such as Motability, may not always be accepted under standard criteria. We appreciate your feedback regarding the clarity of this information and will continue to review how we communicate these requirements during the quotation process.
Thank you again for considering Ripe Insurance, and we wish you all the best with finding suitable cover for your motorhome.
If you’d like to discuss this further or need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at motorhomes@ripeinsurance.co.uk and a member of our team will be happy to help.
Kind regards,
The Ripe Motorhomes Team
