These people are just so good. We have been fans over many years. They are everything that an on-line call centre isn't. You have specialists who will go the extra mile and know their stuff. I think w... See more

Terrible service

Terrible service, no update a week after a no fault accident, no communication , no hire fare. constant having to call and being pushed between city insurance, an underwriter whom they could never contact then to the solicitors, whom again pushed us back to city insurance. Not one person knows what is going on. Or not one person who can answer a question. 30+ minutes on hold to be told to call the solicitor, again another 20 mins on hold to be waiting for a call back to not receive one

Friendly and knowledgeable staff

Never had to make a claim but had a van insured with them for several years and found them to be helpful in getting a good price..not the cheapest but always in the range. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly with email documentation within minutes.
Van sold now and will miss my annual chat!

Con artist

Insured with them in early December and had to cancelled the policy in early march as their insurance company KGM Motor did not insure EV cars. The policy cost almost £590, I got refunded £185 back for less then 3 months cover, between this cowboy broker and the insurance company they have taken over £400 for 3 months of cover. Never deal with a broker like this before, the cost they charge to stop the cover was over £100 in admin costing I presume they got just as much commission to insure it in the first place. You have been warned, a very expensive lesson for me.

Good Morning, I am sorry to hear about this - having checked the details, we have no record of you or the payment mentioned. Regretfully, it appears you may have been scammed by a ghost broker and would suggest you contact your bank to discuss this further.

We would highly recommend working with City Insurance

We have worked with City Insurance for many years and have been very satisfied with their service. The company consistently provides us with cost-effective insurance quotes and convenient annual renewals, making managing our insurance needs straightforward and hassle-free.

One of the standout aspects of City Insurance is their excellent communication. The team is always prompt and clear in their responses, ensuring we are well-informed and confident in our insurance decisions. A special mention goes to Roy, whose willingness to assist at all times and rapid response has been invaluable. His professionalism and dedication make him a key asset to the company.

Overall, we highly recommend City Insurance to anyone looking for a reliable insurance provider.

Avoid and try Simply Business

Wasted a day going back and forwards, couldn’t seem to grasp what I was saying and came back with ridiculous quotes! even though I’ve a perfect record.
Go to simply business and get top insurance companies at less than half the price these quote.

Fast and detailed response within minutes

I emailed six brokers for car insurance as we are returning to the UK from abroad. Only Mark from City bothered to answer with a relevant response. Two others referred me to their online forms which frankly they should know by now one size does not fit all. We got a detailed, personalised reply and I am delighted to say I then ordered a car and already have the policy document from Mark at a sensible price with the cover I want. I can only suggest you "forget the rest and contact the best." Great service and expertise is hard to find these days but City have it in spades. I am delighted.

Listening & Understanding

Although my premium came in higher than I imagined it would your staff listened and made suitable adjustments. They were courteous and helpful, not overbearing.

Hassle free experience

I was able to speak with the same representative on the few occasions I rang the company, which meant I didn’t have to repeat everything or require a second rep to familiarise themselves with my particular requirements.
The City Insurance quote wasn’t vastly cheaper but I was determined not to use a online only insurer this time.
My advisor was excellent and business was concluded in a timely manner.

Avoid for learner driver insurance!!…
Took the full 12 month payment and WONT refund pro rata less an admin fee once you have passed your test. Told there small print says NO refunds. Passed after 4 weeks so would have expected some sort of refund.
