I have to admit that when I bought the insurance, on a Saturday, the money was withdrawn from the account, but the confirmation did not come, continuously showing me that it was being processed, I called, customer service, (Nicola) very efficient, he solved the problem.

Cost good, same cover.

The prime reason was the price a good saving on the company I had been with. You still covered everything I require and reviews reasonable.
