Churchill Will You Pay My Claim ? Oh Yes

Advantages: Speedy service
Disadvantages: None to mention

...purchasing my motor insurance from Churchill for a number of years now. My initial reason for contacting Churchill for an insurance quote was the catchy bulldog adverts, you know the ones, voiced by Vic Reeves - Oh no, no, no, no and Oh yes. However, once I'd contacted them I discovered there was more to this company than a catchy advert.

I've always been impressed by their levels of customer service regarding setting up policies, ...
...BRIEF HISTORY

Churchill Insurance was founded in 1989 with only 88 employees and initially only sold motor insurance. A year later home insurance was added and ever since the range of Churchill products has grown. Today the company employees over 8,000 people and sells insurance for cars, vans, motorbikes, homes, life, travel and even pets (I wonder if Churchill himself is insured ?). They also offer a range of other financial products ... more

Passionate about wasting my time

Advantages: Good CLAS service
Disadvantages: awful level of communition within company, too many phone calls, too little information

Churchill passionate about insurance, so their slogan says. Really I say how about passionate about being totally unhelpful! We had a car accident 11th August this year on the way back from holiday in Devon. We`d travelled about half an hour and ended up as car 2 in a line of 4 who had a bump..well number 4 car drove into the back of us all. I was taken from the scene in an ambulance leaving husband and kids with the mess to sort out. They were ...
...on 21st August and the Churchill engineers did not phone me until 28th August. When they did they wanted to "discuss" what I thought my car was worth. Bear in mind I`m off with whiplash, feeling rubbish and did not want to enter into a discussion with some patronising bloke about car value!!! Finally a written offer came through the post with…yes you guessed the wrong figure on it!! Another phone call to Churchill who said they would get the ...

Insurance For New Drivers? Ohhh yes!!

Advantages: Cheapest insurance for new drivers
Disadvantages: Hard to contact

...for me came up as Churchill out of a lot of strong contenders like Diamond, a company targeted specifically for girls. The first thing I found was that they would cover me for under a grand. I think my insurance was a little over £900 given the details I entered. (I drive an 02 renault clio 1.2i dynamique). This was fantastic given that many companies either returned a response of only covering those over 21 or covering me for the price of an arm ...
...like Lloyds and the AA, Churchill was the one which we finally decided on. Later that day, I gave them a call to confirm the offer I had been quoted with at www.confused.com and they told me that not only was that correct, I could also gain a further 10% if I booked online. The only drawback with this is that it has to be paid in full using a credit card, but nevertheless, I chose to go down that path. I had also been told that taking 'Pass Plus' ...

Cheapest insurer for an under 25.

Advantages: Cheapest by far for an under 25 year old.
Disadvantages: Minor policy restrictions.

...I took the quote from Churchill (which I had received via "insure direct"/Lloyds TSB). Their system had the ability to ignore the post-code since I could provide a postal address instead (hooray - common sense prevails..!). Thinking nothing more of it I had the insurance policy for one year and it was due for renewal a few weeks ago. I started phoning all the 0800 numbers again to find a new provider thinking that due to my limitations last year, ...
...I..! Churchill insurance have insured me - an under 25 year old (just!!) with six years NCD on a Ford Focus 1.8 LX - for 250 quid. I have a limitation on my policy which states that I cannot drive any other vehicle, and an additional excess of 150 quid, but the actual premium was a good 150 quid below all the nearest competitors..! Their service and efficiency a year ago was outstanding - they had the common sense to allow my quote to be processed ...

Car Insurance

Advantages: Cheap, quick
Disadvantages: no nodding dog

...if you are already a Churchill customer. I then clicked on, get quote and filled in my details. I also had my wife to add as an additional driver. The whole process took around five minutes. The only part i didn't like is your claim and convictions screen. You have 2 boxes for each and you enter any history you may have. Now with myself, I selected no convictions and no claims in the two boxes. But in order for me to continue to the next screen, ...
...convictions in the second box. Work that one out for yourselves. When i had finished entering my details, you are presented with a summary screen for you to make sure everything is correct. If you are happy then you are shown your quote and was I happy! My quote was nearly £75 less than what i was already paying. You can obviously change your excess amounts and legal cover etc but i entered everything exactly to what i was already getting. When ...

As good as their word

Advantages: Excellent service. Competitive premiums.
Disadvantages: Don't insure more powerful cars.

My family have been Churchill members for some eleven years and have never had an accident until last year. My girlfriend was driving her Corsa along the road when a driver pulled out of a lay-by without looking. The damage was fairly minimal. The nearside wing was crushed. We rang Chruchills and told them what had happened. They asked for the particulars of the accident over the phone then asked us whether we would be available to take delivery ...
...margin. The only drawback with Churchill is that they don't, as a rule, insure powerful or performance cars. They also have a CLAS policy which covers all legal fees associated with an accident. This saves the embarisment of having to pay for your own solicitor should you need to contest anything outside a policy's normal cover. This extra policy costs another £15ish and certainly adds to a good insurance policy. ...

Stiched up like a kipper

Advantages: Cheepish
Disadvantages: Did not cover me for what I had asked for

I had a quote from chirchills mainly because I had car insurance with them & that had been very good value. I went through my exsisting policy with the Tele Sales person & they came back and said they could do the same cover for £40 less, Great I thought and soon as my exsisting insurance ended I signed up. This has been running now for 2 years & recently I have had a accident at home & needed to claim. To my surprise I was told I was not covered for accidental damage. I could not beleive it my old policy was & I had asked for it. I told the claimes person the full story & he checked back and found my original quote and yes it was for accidental damage, but the new policy was only for standard cover. I asked well don't you record your conversations for security perposes etc. Yes the man said. "Great I said get it out & listen to ...

Review of Churchill Insurance Company Limited

Winston would not approve

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Do you, like me get inundated with 'can I quote you for this' or 'this is the best and cheapest' Does it not drive you mad? The trouble is you can almost bet your bottom dolloar that whoever claims to be the cheapest probably is not. Since the offer was accompanied by a free phone number I asked for a quote. Some considerable time later I did get one but the terms and conditions attached need careful consideration. For that matter so did the quote. It was not the best and whilst Churchill were very competetive when they first came into the market it would seem they no longer are in the top bracket. I found better cover for less elswhere so keep looking. ...

Really good customer service

Advantages: quick and efficient claims handling
Disadvantages: check all is covered

Due to unfortunate circumstances in the last 3 months I have had a car stolen and a break in to my house. These things are usually extremely stressful, however I have been amazed and surprised at just how quickly and efficiently my two claims have been handled , with the break in I recieved a cheque in 3 days for the jacket and wallet, for the cds I now have alist with their CD replacement company who will deliver later this week, When the car was stolen ad wrecked by joyriders I had a cheque within 2 weeks and for more than I thought they would offer, all that with a really friendly and helpful staff, I THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. ...
