Great options for freelancers
Quick and easy to set up and very affordable for a start up. Love the fact I can pause it if there are times I am not working. Love the referral scheme too - £25 each for referring a friend!.

The website was easy to navigate
The website was easy to navigate. The policy was easy to understand. The fee was the best I have found for the same policy else where and could be set up instantly

Best insurance experience
Very easy process to start the policy. I contacted an advisor through the chat for some questions, replied after a couple of minutes and were really helpful. I really like that I can easily pause parts of my insurance and can use a simple UI for making claims and reaching help. On the negative, my equipment excess is 250 and not changeable, and it's an inconvenience that I need to receive an email to log in to my account, but it's fine security first, hopefully they'll add password/2-factor or something later on. Still the best and most straightforward experience I've had with insurance - but haven't made a claim yet. Just very glad there is an insurance option that has the freelancer's needs in mind.

Unprompted review
Flexible
The flexibility of being able to suspend insurance for the days I don't need it is great. My only gripe is that currently there is no Android app, only iOS. If I want to get to my account it's a long winded process of backwards and forwards between the browser and email. The security is reassuring, but a bit of a pain. Only really a nuisance if you want to stop/start insurance regularly. I am still happy to use the insurance and would recommend.

Good. But not as good as I’d hoped.
This looked like a good option for a freelancer like me who only works intermittently. I thought I could turn off the insurance when not working - you can, but you can only turn off 60 percent in my case.. so overall it’s probably cheaper but depends how many days you work. It would be easier if the app was accessible with face recognition as currently you have to follow an email link to toggle the policy on and off.

Easy to use
Easy to use, but requires more categories of jobs, especially those tailored for the live events industry. Other than that quick to establish cover
