While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

Great company, done my driving instructor policy through them for my 3rd year and they’ve been great. Joe W from the driving instructor team is very good, very polite and knowledgeable, makes my life... See more

I’ve been with Academy insurance, Egham branch for decades. I assume there has been a takeover by another firm. This firm doesn’t answer the phone. And is not the same level of service that I used... See more

I HAVE USED ACADEMY FOR SOME YEARS…

I HAVE USED ACADEMY FOR SOME YEARS AFTER MY ORIGINAL ASCOT BASED BROKER WAS PURCHASED BY THEM, MAYBE 10 YRS HENCE.
SERVICE OF LATE I HAVE FOUND INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT AND CONFUSED. CUSTOMER SERVICES EITHER DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE AND ARE SLOW [IN ONE CASE A WEEK] TO RESPOND TO AN EMAIL.
I CURRENTLY HAVE A PREMIUM CONTENTS COVER POLICY AND A BUILDINGS COVER [WITH ZURICH] WHICH I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO AMMEND SINCE 15TH NOVEMBER AND STILL REMAINS UNRESOLVED. IF THIS DRAGS OUT MUCH LONGER I WILL BE MOVING MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE.
I HAVE CALLED AGAIN TODAY ; THE PERSON I AM DEALING WITH IS OFF AND THE ALTERNATIVE PERSON THEY COULD NOT CONNECT ME TO.
NOT GOOD, SO MUCH FOR PRIVATE EQUITY HELD BUSINESSES.

Would highly recommend!

I dealt with Michael Dodd this year and again I was so pleased with the service and results. For the 2nd year in a row they have found me an amazing deal that we are so happy with and will definitely be using them again next year for our house insurance.

Asked for call back

Asked for call back. Recieved one in couple of hours but missed call as at work.
Called back later but hubby had already sorted new insurance with yourselves!
All sorted over phone.

Second year running and can not fault…

Second year running and can not fault the service and dedication I received. I really feel like a valued respected customer. Harvinder exceeded my expectations as usual and has most definitely gone beyond this year. Despite being ill she managed to get my renewal quote processed with only one email sent to her. Thank you once again Harvinder.
