Hi David, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your recent experience and apologise for the frustration caused.
We understand how important it is to be able to make changes to your policy, particularly when they relate to your payment details. While there may occasionally be a short wait if our advisers are assisting other customers, our telephone hold times have generally been very low recently. If there is a wait, you may hear hold music until the next available adviser is able to assist.
If you still need to update your bank details, you can contact us by phone on 0800 668 1505, Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:30pm (excluding Bank Holidays), and a member of our team will be happy to help. Alternatively, you can get in touch via live chat or email if that is more convenient for you.
We apologise again for the inconvenience and appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. If you would like us to look into this further or discuss your experience in more detail, please contact us directly at caravans@ripeinsurance.co.uk and we can assist you with this. We’re here to help!

Quite annoyed as sent emails to get a quote for a camera that was gifted to me. To ensure cover I explained that the camera was a gift and that it is likely more then three years old. I asked if I can still insure this and the representative asked for more details of proof. I went to the effort to get the person who gifted me the camera to write a statement and provide receipts of the camera and a couple of Len’s. I sent this back to Ripe and never heard from them. They have no way to phone on the website as far as I can see. For a camera specific insurer it is very poor. I could not recommend them.

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.

Hi Anthony,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your experience and apologise for any frustration caused.
Our cancellation terms, including how any refund is calculated and any applicable charges, are set out in the policy documentation provided at the start of the policy and available on our website 24/7. We appreciate that this outcome has been disappointing for you.
Thank you again for sharing your feedback. 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.

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

Hi Norman, thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and we're pleased to hear that your previous claim was settled quickly and without issue.
We're sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience caused when we were unable to offer you a renewal. We understand this was frustrating, particularly as you were able to obtain cover elsewhere with the same underwriter.
While both insurers may use Aviva as an underwriter, each insurance provider has its own acceptance criteria, rating, and risk appetite. Unfortunately, based on your individual circumstances, the decision was made that we were unable to offer cover through Ripe Insurance for a further year. Regrettably, this isn't a decision we're able to override.
We appreciate your feedback, and thank you for your custom over the past few years. We wish you all the best for the future. If you would like us to look into this further or discuss your experience in more detail, please contact us directly at caravans@ripeinsurance.co.uk and we can assist you with this.

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.

Hi Suzanne, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and we're pleased to hear that David provided clear service and worked hard to support you despite the IT issues experienced during your call.
We'd like to clarify what happened regarding the additional payment. Following the system issues, it was identified that a small human error had been made when your policy details were entered, resulting in the year your motorhome was purchased being recorded incorrectly. Once this was spotted, David contacted you to explain the situation and correct the information.
The £5.85 was not an administration fee or a charge for making the amendment. The age of a motorhome is one of the factors used when calculating the cost of cover, so correcting the purchase year resulted in a revised premium. The additional amount reflected the difference in the cost of the policy based on the correct information, which is why it could not be waived.
We appreciate that this was inconvenient, and we sincerely apologise for the error. While our advisers take great care to ensure all information is entered accurately, occasional mistakes can happen, and we always aim to correct them as quickly and transparently as possible.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you enjoy many happy and safe journeys in 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.
