We had our contents insurance with Swinton, and I did not get round to comparing prices when this came up for renewal as it was right before Christmas one year. My bank later offered, about six... more

    4 Stars Swinton Car Insurance - Nice and Easy Review with images 23/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Price, Local Branch, Claims

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None so far

    Why choose Swinton Insurance! It was the dreaded time for me to look for car insurance again as per usual I check all the price comparison websites. Swinton came up the cheapest on two of them, so I decided to go direct to their own website to see what price was available and read a bit more about them. The main reasons I decided to go with Swinton was: *Competitive price – Some £38 cheaper than the next best price and over £50 cheaper than my renewal price. *Local Shops – I am one of these people who try to keep local companies open, well Swinton has office up and down the country so rather ... more

    Advantages Advantages Qick cover. Competetive rates. Nice staff.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hard work making a claim.

    I used to insure my car with Swintons. Once upon a time I was lucky enough to be able to buy a new car. It was bought on finance so I knew I would need fully comprehensive cover. Swintons found me an excellent quote and I was very pleased. They were able to provide immediate cover, by telephone, so I went ahead as I was keen to collect the car as soon as possible. I stayed with Swintons for four years and had no problems. Direct debits from my bank account were correctly taken and every time renewal was due I was sent a new, competitive quote, followed by the certificate, in good time. I ... more

    Advantages Advantages Easy to contact, good website, good value

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None whatever

    It's that time of year again - just after Christmas co-incides with when I bought my car (off my mum!) last year having just passed my driving test. Bit embarrassing leaving it so long, but money was tight and the busses were good to and from work ..... Anyway, went through Moneysupermarket.com to find a suitable insurer for my 2nd year on the road and came across Swinton. They were not the cheapest on the list for my circumstances, but they did offer everything I needed (plus legal cover as an option) and £50 cash-back after the policy has been in place for 90 days which made it cheaper than ... more

    Advantages Advantages Personal Service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Unreliable, do not tell you all the information, dont admit when they are at fault

    If I can give one piece of good advice, it would be do not insure anything with Swinton Insurance. When I bought a new car about 2 years ago, I unfortunately did not have time to shop around for car insurance as I needed insurance immediately. My quickest option was the Swinton branch in the nearest town. On going there at first I found the staff very friendly and helpful, and opened a car policy that day. That was fine, until my partner decided to go with them also. We went there to insure him and myself onto his car. Again, all seemed well and the policy was started that day. It was ... more

    Advantages Advantages helped us to find out about Diamond Insurance.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Failure to supply legal documents, non-customer friendly, ignorant.

    Members, if I may be as bold to suggest, quite forcibly, to stay away from this Insurance Broker!!! I approached Swinton earlier this year, to purchase car insurance for my Fiancee, although the quote was quite expensive, I went ahead and arranged to insure her vehicle. I waited over 2 weeks for the cover note to arrive! It didn't! I then went to their office in our town, and using the reference number given to me, asked for a cover note. The shop assisstant was helpful, that helpful, she wanted to relieve me of £25 for the cover note! I refused to pay this and informed her that I was not ... more
