Ripe made everything so easy for me. This was my very 1st motorhome insurance and they took care of everything and made it totally stress free ... not to mention they were the cheapest by far.

Hi Terry, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you found the online quote process frustrating.
We'd like to clarify that the driving licence number field on our online form is designed to accept the licence number without the final two digits, which is the standard format used for online insurance applications. We're sorry if this wasn't clear and appreciate that it may have caused confusion.
We're pleased that you were able to speak with one of our advisors, who was able to assist you in completing your quote over the phone. Your comments are valuable, and we'll take them on board as we continue to review how we can make our online journey clearer and easier to use.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best. 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,

Introductory discounts rip off
Usual discount for new customers people who already with them have to pick up the bills.. I thought this had been banned but Ripe still rip off existing customers

Hi Martyn, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with our introductory pricing.
We appreciate that introductory offers can be frustrating, particularly when you see a different price being offered to new customers. The regulations around pricing that prevent introductory discounts from being applied at renewal relate to certain types of insurance products and don't apply to our products.
Our introductory offer is available to all new customers during their first year. Once that introductory period ends, the policy moves to our standard pricing. However, if you're unhappy with your renewal premium, we encourage you to get in touch with us, as we're always happy to review your renewal and see what flexibility may be available.
We can see that you're already in contact with one of our advisors regarding your renewal, and that an offer has been made to you. We hope this helps address your concerns, but if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to continue the conversation with our team.
We value your feedback and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. If you do have any questions regarding your shooting insurance policy, please don’t hesitate to get in touch as we're always happy to help. You can reach us directly via this link: https://help.ripeinsurance.co.uk/hc/en-gb/requests/new

Watch out for the refund policy
I took out a policy for my motorhome costing a little over £300 for 12 months. I sold it after 167 days of the 365 days of cover and was told by Ripe I was not entitled to anyrefund at all on the policy quoting the poicy info. Be mindful of this if you do chose this company. I wont be as Ive used other companies who are happy to refund minus an admin fee.

Hi Alan, thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed with your experience.
We understand how frustrating it can be when the outcome isn't what you were expecting. Refunds following the cancellation of a policy are calculated in line with the policy terms and conditions, which can vary depending on the insurer and the stage of the policy.
If you’d like to discuss this further or need further 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.

I understand that Ripe Insurance has…
I understand that Ripe Insurance has recently taken over a really good business GJW Direct and in the process set about absolutely ruining it.
I have been insured with GJW for more than 20 years partly due to the excellent relationship and personal service I have experienced in that time from Debbie Ashton and colleagues.
Now this morning i have tried to send some information to Debbie and the email bounces back. The phone number I have for her no longer connects.
I go on the website and there is no phone number listed so its obvious customers and potential customers have taken a back seat in the priorities.
I'm being forced to use 'live chat' which does'nt understand my simple request for a phone number and then goes on to tell me an agent will get back to me in 15 minutes.
So its very clear to me that some management consultancy or newly hired Director who will be with the business for 2 years before moving on has taken the view to implement a backward step for the business. Cost saving, efficiency, reduced staff numbers - but forgetting that people buy people and people in business make the difference.
I have listened to some of the recorded messages one gets when i finally found a phone number talking about 'giving our customers the best service' and ' collecting information about out customers' ... absolute BS
And now i have received an email from 'Virtual Assistant' asking me to answer some questions before literally pages and pages of script about what i just don't know.
Do you guys even consider how this looks for your business and in a customers eyes - we all HATE IT
No customer wants to be treated this way and for me its very simple if this is the way i will be treated from here on then i will be leaving GJW

HI Simon
I am sorry you feel this way.
Our main phone number has not changed and can be found in our FAQ's.
We do like to offer our customers different ways to contact us including via live chat, phone and by using our contact us form.
Our average wait time for live chat is around 4 minutes but can be slightly longer during busy periods.
When calling us, some questions will be asked up front to save you time when you do get through to us.
I have asked Debbie to give you a call and she will be in touch.
Kind Regards
The Ripe Team

In all my life of insuring motor…
In all my life of insuring motor vehicles i have never come across what i have experienced. Months away from my renewal to be told I have something against me to stop me being given a renewal for the next year as I have a claim witch i have not informed on where I have had a year of trouble free motoring. When asked on this, they have failed to give me an explanation as in what, ie a guessing game of the last 5 years of my motoring life that apparently i have failed to remember. Unsure of what this is this could be and trying to figure out my entire life of driving mistakes to be told computer says no and guess again and if I don’t know my policy is void. Being sold insurance what I am trying to figure out has now being invalid all year if this is the case and being bullied to an answer a question i do not know the answer. I could spend a life time guessing and would never know the answer without being told, absolutely ridiculous, shambles in fact. Avoid insuring at all cost utter scammers stay way clear. 😡😡😡😡

Hi Steven and Katie, we're sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
We understand how frustrating it can be to receive a query about your policy, particularly when you're unsure what information may be causing the issue.
As part of our renewal process, we carry out validation checks to ensure the information held on your policy is accurate and matches industry records. Our system compares the details provided against information received from sources such as the DVLA, the Motor Insurers' Database and the Claims and Underwriting Exchange (CUE). If there is a discrepancy or information that appears to be missing, this can result in the policy being referred for further review.
When you spoke with our team on 30 June, we suggested reviewing your information and, if necessary, contacting your previous insurer to confirm your claim's history. Please be aware that records can sometimes include notifications such as windscreen repairs or key cover claims, even if they don't immediately come to mind.
We're sorry that this process left you feeling frustrated, as that was never our intention. 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
