Privilege Insurance

I received 2 years worth of insurance with Privilege when I purchased my new Nissan in the Summer of 1999. And mightily impressed with them I have been. Obviously I have no premium to pay but when I asked them for a quote ready for when my free insurance ran out they were easily the best quote I received. My insurance package from Nissan allowed me to add up to £1,000 of extras to my car, and notifying them was a quick and painless experience. A quick phone call to their 0800 number, telling them what was being added, and handing over my debit card number for an administration fee of £40 and ... more

I had always driven Company Cars until last November when I was made redundant and purchased my own car and insurance for the first time. Privilege were the cheapest quote I found. I set up the policy on line and was advised that I could have a no claims discount if I provided proof from my previous employer's insurer that I had made no claims. I requested this via my employer but it was not forthcoming and I contacted Privilege in Jan 09 to advise them that I had not deliberately 'overlooked' this but was having difficulty due to the redundancy circumstances. They then cancelled my policy in ... more

I owned a VW Scirocco GTX and Privilege Insurance came recommended by a Astra GTE COnvertible driver. He got £25 for the recommendation and I got a very good deal. I insured with the same company for 3 more years and then changed the car. Again they offered a competitive price and the changeover from one car to the other was seamless. But then I had to make a claim. I noticed that there was damage to the back door but it had been done while the car was parked up. At the same time I was taking the car in for a service and while I was at the garage I asked the body shop to give me a quote. The ... more

Ive updated this opinion, but have left my original in place at the bottom. In feb this year I sold my Legend and bought a rather sporty Fiesta 1600 sport. Due to some little git, I only had the pleasure of driving it for 10 miles because they stole it after only 8 hours of ownership. I should be grateful that I recovered my money from my insurance, but my opinion of this company has fallen to rock bottom. The process of sorting my claim out was nothing short of a shamble and my opinion of the staff that I dealt with cannot be written down with Ciao deleting it. The car itself was written of ... more

I am only 20, but have a good job with a high car allowance which my company expects me to use. I bought a BMW 3 series, which was a 2.8 petrol. As you can imagine all my insurance quotes were pretty high. When I tried Privilege I was amazed. There quote was £2000 or just over, it was still expensive, but i was getting quotes between £3500 and £4500. I agreed to the policy straight away, quite impressed with myself for finding such a 'bargain'. Everything was fine until my partner had an accident on Christams Eve. At first, I was amazed at how friendly and efficent they seemed. They got me a ... more
