Swinton Car Insurance - Nice and Easy

Advantages: Price, Local Branch, Claims
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 ...
...keep local companies open, well Swinton has office up and down the country so rather than call the dreaded call centre you can call the local shop.


*Cash back – As usual I always check the cash back sites, and to my delight Swinton was on Quidco. So when I taken the policy out online I got any additional £50 cash back.


*Finally looking online, Swinton sounded very positive and from what I could read many ... more

It Was A Long Honeymoon, But It Ended In Tears.

Advantages: Qick cover. Competetive rates. Nice staff.
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 ...
...due I was sent a new, competitive quote, followed by the certificate, in good time. I always got first class service and used to recommend them to my friends. One day I had to make a claim. I had never had to do this before, but knew that I must inform my insurance company at once. It was past eight o'clock in the evening by the time I managed to get home but I had all my details ready, including the police report and details of the driver of ...

Swinton Car Insurance

Advantages: Easy to contact, good website, good value
Disadvantages: None whatever

...telephone number of the nearest Swinton office. The only thing that surprised me was a higher excess amount to that I had specified, but this wasn't enough to put me off and I was advised before entering the card details, so I had the option to change my mind if I wanted to. A short while after the transaction had been completed I received a courtesy call from my local Swinton office advising me to contact them with any difficulties and thanking ...
...So far, my experience with Swinton has been a good one - a product I needed at a reasonable price, with incentives and prompt and courteous customer service. Reading the other comments here I hope this good beginning lasts. Also hope I never have to claim from any company, but will certainly let you know the outcome if I do! Summary: Easy processes, clear website, easily contactable. Slightly more excess than I wanted but this helped keep the costs ...

Swinton - No thanks

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

...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 ...
...the bank, I discovered that Swinton Insurance had been with drawing almost £300 from my account for the last two months. Not only had they been taking my own policy out of my account, but had taken upon themselves to take my partners insurance out of my account as well. We had specified when taking out the cover that the money was to come from Jon's account and he had signed a form to allow direct debit from his account. At no time during our time ...

Swinton Swindle

Advantages: helped us to find out about Diamond Insurance.
Disadvantages: Failure to supply legal documents, non-customer friendly, ignorant.

...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 ...
...informed her that I was not leaving until I received that for which I had paid. Eventually, she gave me a cover note. So endeth the saga, I'm afraid not, this "Company" then went from bad to worse, after 2 months, we changed the vehicle, sent back the old policy and awaited the delivery of the new one, and waited and waited. Numerous telephone calls and 3 strongly worded letters later, (sent recorded delivery to the CEO) and we received Policy Documents,. ...

The Price is not right

Advantages: Easy to arrange
Disadvantages: ££££££££££ TOO EXPENSIVE £££££££££

...to deal with people like Swinton Insurance and thats why i guess so many people use them, just ring them up, hand over the relevant information and let them do all the searching to find the best quote. Sounds fine done it, well i decided about 7 years ago to take the easy option and all i can think about is how much money i have wasted over the years. Year after year of just accepting the quote and the reasons for the price increase without really ...
...insurance rocketed up and i was told that the whole of the industry had adjusted there prices up 25%. This was the wake up call i needed to start thinking where is all the money going. This year i decided to check out a few others after the latest quote which jumped another 10% to nearly £450, just so you know i drive a Ford Mondeo on a K reg with full no claims discount and Full Comprehensive Cover. A quick search around and i managed to chop a ...

SAME COMPANY DIFFERENT CHARGES

Advantages: Able to offer cheap quotes
Disadvantages: See op

The company ------------ Royal & Sun alliance is a leading insurance company for building & contents although they do offer various other products but are well known for insuring the above. They offer Insurance direct or through intermediaries such as AA, Swinton, Sainsbury's insurance e.t.c. which are all paid commission by Royal & Sun alliance. (they have also recently launched there new service known as More than offering slightly cheaper quotes.) My Experience. -------------- I took out an insurance policy with them through AA & Swinton not knowing that my house was insured by Royal & Sunalliance for both contents & buildings rather than AA or Swinton. Which realised when I made a claim later that year. When my household insurance was due for renewal I decided to go direct thinking it would save money as there would be ...
