Pet insurance

Advantages: Peace of mind
Disadvantages: none so far

...direct debit every month at £9. 34 This is for cover for life and it covers up to £1000 of vet fees and this is peace of mind when anything goes wrong with your pet. To date Mampi Swift has been to the vets, for sensitive skin which was due to an allergic reaction to some additives in his dog food. Vet fees £240 as it took three visits to the vets to find what was causing the reaction and to clear it up with the medication. The insurance paid up within three weeks of the claim, we had to pay the first £50 excess. He was loves to chew twigs and wood and when visiting a friends house who has bamboo in their garden he couldn?t resist having a nibble at a piece that had snapped off in the winds and was on the floor, I?m not sure why but this made him sick for a few days, so another trip to the vets at £85 was claimed. He has just gone two...

Swinton Car Insurance - Nice and Easy

Advantages: Price, Local Branch, Claims
Disadvantages: None so far

...back. *Finally looking online, Swinton sounded very positive and from what I could read many customers were happy with the service they provided. Applying for the car insurance! Just like many companies there are many ways for you to obtain quotes and subsequently take up the policy. Swinton appear on all the comparison websites such as Confused, Money supermarket, Tesco etc. I would always recommend going through all these sites and then do a full quotation with the top company on their own website as often that can be cheaper. Swintons website is very easy to follow and within 3 minutes you can have a price which will be guaranteed for 30 days. It?s always worth while checking what offers Swinton have on, just now they offer £40 cash back per motor insurance policy. You can call Swinton on free phone number 0800 138...

Privilege Insurance - Apalling and inefficient customer service

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Poor service generally; pedantic; lack of response to complaints; ridiculous hold times

...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 February. At this point I was fairly sanguine as I had not provided the proof. I reinstated the policy with zero no claims on the understanding that when I managed to obtain proof of no claims I would receive a backdated refund of the difference...

Swinton Car Insurance

Advantages: Easy to contact, good website, good value
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 the other options anyway. Their website was easy to navigate and make the appropriate payment and the confirmation page came up with useful details like the address and telephone number of the nearest Swinton office. The only thing that...

V insurance . .

Advantages: Seems a good policy.
Disadvantages: Let me down, just once.

...Vauxhall Insurance, is now underwritten by UK insurance Ltd, although it used to be another company, I will not name them, and certainly won't recommend them either. I was insured by them for quite a number of years, until it came to renewing the policy that is. well, in the past I have always had the insurance automatically renewed every year without doing a thing. And this year proved to be the opposite, they just didn't renew it, and the first thing I knew was when I wanted to tax my car, and found that my policy had expired! I rang the helpline, which was answered very quickly, and got the confirmation I had asked for. The voice simply said "You are not insured with us" This amazed me, after being covered by them for years, it turned out tjhey did not renew for no apparent reason. I of course needed insurance, so went to one...

Hair Insurance

Advantages: Works really well
Disadvantages: Spray can be quite stiff

...using it. How much to use will depend entirely on the length and thickness of your hair. My hair is medium thickness and currently just past shoulder-length, and I find about 10 sprays is sufficient. If I want a bit more extra protection, like if I'm going to be out in the sun all day, I just use a bit more than usual and this seems to do the trick. This is a fantastic detangler. After spraying it through my hair, even when a combination of rubbish shampoo and rough-drying my hair has left it extremely tangled, I can immediately comb it through with no trouble at all, it's amazing! It has a gorgeous fresh, fruity, summery scent which is much nicer than most hair products I've used, and it really lasts in your hair long after you've used it. Once my hair is dry after using it, it feels really soft, smooth and silky, and I find I...

NOT the CHeapest - but CHeerful Motor Insurance

Advantages: 5% discount for online quotes, easy to apply, competitive premiums, helpful staff
Disadvantages: need to get letter for NCD proof, (not available in R.O.I or Northern Ireland)

....tesco.com/finance, is very easy to use. As with most online insurance quotes the page which allows you to obtain quotes takes about 2 minutes to load. The details are very easy to fill in and you can choose your level of cover; comprehensive, third party only, and how many drivers you wish to be on the policy and your level of excess. For Tesco Club Card holders you can enter your card details – you do not earn club card points on your tesco insurance purchase, but occasionally they have been known to give away 1000 points, though not at the time of my order. After making secure payment I received my Policy and documents promptly by First Class post within 2 days of buying online. All you need to do is check and sign the documents and send any proof of No claims discount if applicable. I did not have my proof available at the time and Tesco were...

Review of Tesco Insurance

Orange Insurance - Brilliant

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: The £15 "admin" fee

...I had my contract phones covered with Orange insurance for 3 years and in that space of time i had 2 phones replaced. 1 stolen, 1 damaged. On the occasion that my phone was stolen i had to pay a £15 admin fee which was probably the only pain with this cover. But on the 2nd occasion because the phone was damaged through no fault of my own they didn't ask this of me. The claim took about 10mins & once i'd given over all the information I always had my new phone with me within 1-2 working days & that was all for £5 a month on top of my bill. I wanted a Nokia N96 and Orange were charging alot. So I got my upgrade via carphone warehouse, which means I can't take advantage of Orange Insurance and Carphone were asking for £14 a month for insurance so i haven't bothered this time....

Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...My hair has been in really bad shape these days, with all the straightening and backcombing I do to it, and also because I go to the pool 3 times a week to keep fit, and the chlorine does not have a good effect on it and leaves it very dull and lifeless. Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance is a spray on leave in conditioner for weak or distressed hair, I decided to try it because I seen it advertised in that 'makeover' tv advertisement where they take a normal girl and make her look great. You can buy this spray in conditioner for around £3.50 in boots for the 250ml bottle which is a great price as I use alot of it and the bottle feels still about 1/4 full and I bought it 2 months ago. The first thing I noticed about this spray is the smell, it smells gorgeous, just the same as all the Aussie products do, its hard to describe the smell...

Free Insurance

Advantages: Price, service, friendliness, efficiency
Disadvantages: Awful hold music!!!

...unfortunately involved in an accident in January, and so I saw this side of the company too. A call to the claims line with the details, and it was all taken care of. Out came an engineer to view the damage to the car (a write off unfortunately) within 48 hours, and within 5 days the final decision had been made on the future of my vehicle. This was again a quick and easy process, notify Privilege of what has happened and they take all the pain out of it, taking over completely, but keeping you informed all the way through. Great premiums, great cover, free legal cover, free courtest car, and amazingly quick service. And a company unafraid of modifications to boot. Does insurance get any better than this?!?...
