Payment website froze - delay in confirmation of insurance
The website froze at payment stage with no confirmation on line and no e.mail sent. However money was taken and only after the insured period expired did an e.mail with my certificate arrive. I had presumed it was unsuccessful so paid again with another car hire excess insurer.
Emailed team and refunded within hours so have upgraded 1 star to 4 star!

Process to book is simple
Process to book is simple. However I never recieve the documentation without having to chase it. I haven’t had to claim yet so can’t comment on responsiveness.

Great experience with customer service
Great experience: I had to extend my car hire insurance while I was away and it was a quick and easy phone call (and great price). The agent was friendly and helpful - one of the most straightforward customer service experiences in a long time!

Tried to pay by valid uk credit card
Tried to pay by valid uk credit card. The payment mask confused Sweden with Switzerland so that the telephone country code was wrong and could not be overeritten and refused my Swiss post code and blocked the payment. I tried a Swedish post code as well as a valid uk post code, but all were blocked. In the end I succesfully managed to make a direct payment from my uk account.

Kind and knowledgeable person on phone
I had a question and the person I spoke with took time to respond and was extremely patient when I did not understand the first response - they rephased and we clarified my issue - thank you
