Peter Best insurance is the best

Peter Best insurance came to the rescue when other brokers would not cover my old classic ex-military Land Rover Defender.
And at a very cost effective price.
The old war horse is back on the road and doing sterling service for this old war horse.

I paid for my insurance 2 weeks in advance, then decided to not go ahead. Despite the t&s stating that there is a 14 day cooling off period I was told that I would be charged £50. My complaints have been ignored.

Reply from Peter Best Insurance Services

Hi,

We're sorry to hear of your frustration and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

We understand that cancellation charges can be disappointing. However, whilst there is a 14-day cooling-off period, our Terms & Conditions state that a £55 cancellation fee applies if a policy is cancelled within this period. This information is provided before purchase and forms part of the agreement accepted when cover is arranged.

We're sorry if this was not your expectation and regret any dissatisfaction caused. Thank you again for your feedback.

Kind regards,
Molly

this world of doing most stuff online I am so really really pissed off with your company. I had a reasonable price online but after the dopey negative customer advisor spoke she wanted 800 quid more than my quote.! I answered all the questions truthfully.

It's just about the money right?

PS I'm a retired feeble but managing old bloke doing under 2000 miles a year in a 25 year old Mercedes.
What risk am I presenting? I'm not retired apparently. I am retired. Definitely. I know cos I'm home full time.
What's going on I'm probably the lowest risk of all your categories.
I don't expect one but would be nice if you at least reply.

Rubbish service

Rubbish service. Terrible communication.
Cancelled my policy without calling or writing to me.
And refunded 40% of the premium after cover of only 35 days!!!
I feel properly ripped off by Peter Best Insurance.
Give them a wide birth.

Hi,

We're sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience and understand your frustration.

Our records show that we contacted you regarding the required documents and allowed a reasonable period from the start of the policy for these to be provided. When they remained outstanding, a 7-day cancellation notice was issued, followed by a further 7-day extension to give additional time for the documents to be supplied. We contacted you via phone, email and sent notifications to your online customer account.

Unfortunately, as the requested documents were still not received, the policy was cancelled in line with the notice provided.
We're sorry this outcome was disappointing and appreciate your feedback.

Kind regards,
Molly
