Great sevice from Hughes Insurance.

Ryan took the time to explain,in detail, exactly what I was covered in my new car insurance policy. This was refreshing as some of the comparison sites I had used, pushed me in to insurance packages that seemed to be competitive, but did not provide the cover I had requested. He answered my questions patiently and I felt reassured that I was buying the right policy. The price was competitive and offered many extras.

Constant administration errors

Constant administration errors. Daily phone calls about issues that have already been resolved. Letters about unpaid fees in error. Over charged and refunded for an no fault accident. Huges are a broker so they just blame everything on the provider and take no responsibility.

Reply from Hughes Insurance

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you've been left feeling frustrated by your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.

We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive repeated contact regarding matters you believed had already been resolved, as well as communications about charges that were later found to be incorrect. We also appreciate that being charged and then refunded following a non-fault incident would naturally raise questions and concerns.

I wanted to clarify that when applying for an insurance policy, it is standard practice for insurance companies to check the CUE database to access any claims history. CUE is a central database that holds information on all insurance claims and incident reports made by policyholders. If the information disclosed does not match what the database confirms, we ask for you to contact us to discuss this in more detail. When updating the information to match the CUE database, this can affect the premium you were originally quoted. We apologise if this was not made clear to you during the conversation you had with us.

If you would like to discuss your concerns or log a complaint, please contact us direclty and out team can get this raised for you.

Kind regards
