Jenny was absolutely brilliant

Jenny was absolutely brilliant; incredibly informative, patient, and personable. I've had to cancel my renewal due to the price but Jenny explored other options and gave me really balanced and useful information even when it was clear I had to cancel - if superb customer service alone could've kept me then she'd have done it.

Happy Customer

Today I spoke to Michelle regarding submitting a pet claim. Michelle spoke clearly, introduced herself, was calm and respectful. She was extremely helpful. In fact, I felt she went above and beyond to be helpful, which is rare in current times.
As I was not fully prepared for and did not want to take up Michelle's time. I requested I would ring her back when I had more information. She said she would give me a call back and she did. I could not be more satisfied with my experience today. Thank you, Michelle.

Great service, postcode levy policy is flawed be aware

Firstly, Shane who dealt with my call today, gets a 5 star. He was excellent.
However, RKC policy for charging based on postcode regardless of circumstances. In my case the vet charge more in my new post code area. Fair enough.
The fact I haven’t changed my vet, have no intention of changing my vet of 25+ years or the fact that RKC can see I haven't changed the vets I've always used for made no difference.
Consequently, RKC increased my monthly premium by over 20%. That gets a 1 star.
I understand the policy.
But if the post code changes but the vet remains the same. The justification given to make the levy does not exist.
On that basis, t seems more than a little unjust to apply the levy anyway.
I would have thought a company of the Kennel clubs stature would trear their customers better. Sadly, it seems they're just another insurance company.

Hello Andy B

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We're really pleased to hear that Shane provided you with excellent service. We'll make sure your kind comments are shared with him, as we know he'll appreciate the recognition.

We're sorry to hear of your disappointment regarding the change to your premium following your change of address. We completely understand why this has been frustrating, particularly as you've remained with the same veterinary practice for many years.

Our premiums are calculated using a range of factors, including postcode, which is why a change of address can affect the cost of cover even when your chosen vet remains the same.

We genuinely appreciate you sharing your feedback, as comments like yours help us understand how our pricing approach is perceived by our customers. We're also delighted that, despite your concerns with the policy, the service you received from
Shane made such a positive impression.

Kind regards
