I had an absolutely outstanding experience working with Alina at Craft Insurance. From the very beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to finding the best solution for my needs.

What really set Alina apart was her attention to detail and her willingness to go the extra mile. She took the time to clearly explain all my options, answered every question with patience, and made what can often be a confusing process feel simple and stress-free. It was obvious that she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in delivering exceptional service.

Her communication was excellent throughout—prompt, clear, and always friendly. I felt fully supported and confident in every decision thanks to her guidance.

If you’re looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and highly skilled in the insurance field, I cannot recommend Alina at Craft Insurance highly enough. A genuinely fantastic experience from start to finish

not as good as when it was independent

Policy didn't auto-renew as I expected it to possibly because Craftinsure doesn't really exist anymore and is 'ripe'

Hi Patricia, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your comments, and we’re sorry to hear that you’ve had a less-than-ideal experience with your recent renewal.

As you mentioned, Craftinsure is now part of Ripe Insurance, and we’ve been working hard to ensure a smooth transition for all of our valued customers. The changeover did lead to some temporary issues with our payment systems, which caused the authorisation problems you encountered during the renewal process. 

We're glad to hear that everything has now been successfully renewed, and we’re committed to making your experience as smooth as possible moving forward.

We understand that transitions like this can be frustrating, and we value your continued trust in us. Should you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at customersupport@craftinsure.com.

Kind regards,

The Craftinsure Team!
