Egg Insurance

Having experienced Insurance Express (see other op!) this year we decided that nothing on earth would make us go back with them, even if it meant having a higher quote off someone else! (They were that bad folks)... Started shopping around a month before the insurance was due which was 9th June. We had never bought insurance on-line before. About the same time all the insurance companies (or so it seemed) suddenly realised that Dave's insurance was about to expire and I was bombarded with flyers offering discounted this, that and the other - free no claims stuff - Oh my, gone all faint ... more

I am one of those people who insist on checking 50 different companies for my car insurance every year despite most brokers claiming they can do all that for me. It pays off though. Years ago when a phone call or a personal trip to your broker was the only way it was painful - now the internet makes it super easy even if it is still time consuming. So this year like every year previous I did my usual check of all the online companies and for the second year running egg were unbeatable. The first year I choose to insure with them the quote was just under £500 despite all other brokers and ... more

They Guarantee to beat your renewal quote – and they match that guarantee! Great quotes good and quick! My colleague was sitting here lunchtime ringing insurance companies to renew his car insurance. I asked him if he'd tried Egg and he said, do they do insurance? I thought this was a strange question considering he logs onto their site at least once each day to look at his credit card bill – sucker! Off we went to the Egg site and started filling out the form for a "quick quote". Basically you answer six questions and they give you a rough quote. They keep the number of questions ... more

I have various accounts with Egg (credit card, savings) but never realised how good their insurance deals were until I logged onto their insurance web site. You can only buy Egg insurance online and they act as a broker for all the major insurnace companies. The web site is easy to use and getting a quote only takes a few minutes. As always I ring around all of the companies listed in the Yellow Pages as I hate spending loads on insurance (in fact I hate spending anything on insurance!). But the cheapest quote by about £80 was from Egg (and I only drive a small car with 4 years no claims so ... more

You would not think that there was much to write about a car insurer without making a claim, but Egg stands out with it’s poor customer service. I found this out two years ago when I first tried to get a quote. It took a very patient person to get an internet quote from Egg in those days. You would get half way through the quote, and then the web page would freeze, and your details would be lost. Fortunately, at the time, Egg were offering very competitive quotes, and perseverance seemed to be warranted, and indeed it was. To be fair, the internet quote system has now been improved, but there ... more
