Cant get through to them
Your phone system keeps cutting out so I can't hear what it is asking me. The URL it sends to me via text for live chat sends a link that does not work. I've filled in the form to be called back twice on your website and no one has bothered to get back to me. I got through to a customer service agent after guessing my way through the questions and she put the phone down on me.

Unprompted review
Reply from Commercial Vehicle Direct
Hello, we're sorry that you had issues getting through to us. The call back form on our website is for customers looking for a new quotation so wouldn't have made it's way to us in customer service. Looking at your username, you appear to be a company. Companies should press option 2 on the first automated question, which will put you straight through to an agent, as our automated system doesn't work for company policies.

Had a renewal reminder on email at a very good price. Then had a renewal through the post with the same policy number as the email but the price had gone up by over £150.00.
Having spoken by phone they realised the issue which then we came to a in between renewal price.
The only issue was that if I had just renewed by email the policy would have not been activated thus no insurance!!!
Not a happy bunny!!!

Hi Mr Caddick, after reviewing your policy it appears a system error issued 2 renewal invites - one with last year's price and one with the renewal price. We apologise for this and the inconvenience it may have caused. Our renewals team make multiple calls to customers who are due for renewal to ensure no customer is left without insurance.

Very professional company

The person I spoke to was a very helpful person who explained everything in a way you could understand.I still don't understand why my van insurance has to go up when it was my own car which I had the claim on and it was with a different insurance company.

Hi Ian, thank you for your kind words - I will ensure the agent's manager receives your glowing feedback. With regards to your claim, all motor insurers require details of any motor claim you have had, be that on a car, van or motorbike and this can impact your premiums across different types of policies.

Uncomplicated experience especially for old folks
Very helpful young lady bit drawn out but that is expected with a new insurance I suppose

Hi Christine, thank you for your kind words about our colleague. I'll ensure your feedback is passed to her manager so they get the recognition. When you first take out a policy with us there are a few bits we have to make you aware of, if you choose to renew with us the process is much faster.

A bit expensive but it was nice to have someone to speak to over the phone and deal with my policy on a personal level. However if the price doesn’t reduce for next year I will be shopping around again.
