As a first time van owner it is hard to know in advance everything you need to know and do when it comes to insurance.
Brentacre were good at helping me get everything sorted. There were a few challenges and a bit of a scare about losing insurance but we sorted everything out in the end.

THIS COMPANY HAS GONE DOWN HILL!

This company used to be excellent, I used to promote them everywhere I went and then boom.

Rock bottom, it’s crazy how much you can support a company out of the goodness of your heart and they throw it back at you like a brick, telling me they can’t do this and that etc then the next minute they can do it but they ‘waved the admin fee’? So you can do it then you just chose not to do it.

Then i had to notify them for hitting a pothole (council said I had to) they put it down as a non fault which is fine but then the under writers (markerstudy) put it down as lost control of vehicle???
I then asked if brentacre would sort this for me but all I got was, talk to the underwriters yourself and thrown to one side once again.

It takes nothing in life to just appreciate your customers especially when they’re pushing your company to many people, make a phone call to the underwriters yourself and help the person that’s providing custom to your business.

I DON’T recommend this company anymore.

Reply from Brentacre Insurance

Hello Tom,

We’re genuinely sorry to read your review, especially as you’ve supported us so strongly in the past. We never want any of our customers to feel let down.

In this case, the issue related to how your insurer, Markerstudy, recorded the incident on their system. Initially, they noted it incorrectly as “loss of control,” but once the matter was raised, they apologised and corrected it to reflect the true circumstances. While we always do our best to assist, we do not have the ability to control how an insurer records information on their files.

That said, we’re disappointed to see Brentacre itself criticised for something outside of our control. Our team works hard to give clear, honest advice and to support customers wherever possible, and we’re sorry if this wasn’t how it felt in your situation.

Amazing customer service

Amazing customer service, professional and polite, really take thier time to go through all the details and make you feel like a human, unlike alot of other insurers. I've been with Bretacre for 3 years now and never looked back! On top of the amazing customer service comes the price, best price by far!

The customer service was first class and I didn’t have to wait too long for them to answer the call. The man dealing with me was very polite and friendly. And agreed to send a copy of my policy by post.

Great company giving affordable insurance for modified cars. Simple process and cover all aspects of your pride and joy. Staff always very helpful and professional and this is about year 4 I have been with them for my van. Highly recommend them for service and cover.

The first time I've purchased insurance and felt good after the process, they operate like real people not machines, nice to speak to, not sitting for 15 minutes on hold. Didnt keep pestering me like Just-Kampers/Adrian Flux desperate for the sale. Dont charge for modifications added ect. I would honestly stay with them in the future even if they weren't the cheapest (but they were this time).

Very easy to deal with and very knowledgeable people. I have insured my Plymouth with Brentacre for the last three years after receiving a recommendation and I have not been disappointed, always competitive on price.

Proper people with passion!

I've always insured my campervan with Brentacre for well over a decade now. This year, upon renewal on 10/9 I wanted to add my partner as an additional driver on the policy to avoid admistration fees, however we were due to get married on 11/9 therefore incurring administration cost for the change of Surname.
As a wedding gift to us, the underwriters said they'd waver the admin fees. Very kind and decent of them. Its so nice to deal with business's and staff that dont behave like machines.
Thank you Brentacre, and all your very helpful staff!

Good company, simple to insure modified van.

Easy to insure my modified Van. Listed everything I have done and policy is pretty reasonable.
Easy to reach on the phone which is a bonus these days !
Luckily not had to claim so don't know what that experience would be like.
