I purchased an insurance for my vehicle…

I would not only like to thank Trustpilot but Abbeygate as well. I recently complained about not being refunded from Abbeygate. Since the time of reporting, a few hours later Ivan from Abbeygate telephoned me personally to understand what my grievance was and to apologise for my customer experience. Abbeygate has made a refund into my account. Ms Claudia Ferreira also apologised for the inconvenience caused. I would not expect anything less from Abbeygate. They have kept a high bar of 5 stars, and I do not see any reason why this should be tainted by 1 complaint, however well received and attended to. Thank you, Ivan. I wish there were more copies of yourself, as you excel in customer care and commitment. Your passion to be the best is very much evident.

Abbeygate has an competitive edge over the other car insurance company. My consultant Francesco was most knowledgeable, spoke English well and had a lot of patience with me. He fulfilled his promises to me and is very approachable. He is always willing and able to assist me with any of the queries I had. I therefore salute Abbeygate on their excellent service delivery.

Abbeygate are a good company to deal with, obviously having documents in English is a major benefit of dealing with them. They like to do everything old school by phone, I think in this day and age a renewal should be easier than it is currently. An email with a link to pay if you want to renew is not hard to do and saves time for them as well as the client. Something to think about, but generally very good company.

Disappointing

I've been a customer with Abbeygate for 2+ years and never had any problems renewing or buying insurance but I won't be using them again. When my car was hit in an accident by an at-fault driver and I needed help, Abbeygate kept telling me it wasn't their problem to help with as I only have 3rd party insurance.

This was despite the at-fault party's insurer patiently telling me that my insurance company needed to be involved in the mediation, and that I did indeed need to file a claim with my own insurance company in addition to theirs.

In the end it was the other driver's insurance company that helped me contact my own insurer, who arranged my car repairs in the end.

Anyway, all of this delayed the whole process by 2-3 weeks and added a whole bunch of unnecessary stress as I was under the (incorrect) advice of Abbeygate that I shouldn't need to contact my insurance company at all. To add to all of this, I emailed Abbeygate for clarification on the whole process so I understand what to do for next time and they never bothered to reply.
