Very unprofessional

Very unprofessional, in 2022 I had a hit and run incident while I was on a lesson. When it coma to my insurance they never supported me and advised me to accept even though it wasn’t my fault and I had CCTV Footage confirming my innocence. I wasn’t told 50-50 will be classified as my fault so the following year my premium went high sky. In 2024 I had the same situation and they closed the case without my consent, again 50-50 which affected my premium AGAIN. I found them really rude and aggressive whenever I was make a complaint that I didn’t agree to 50-50. Even though I have been with them for 5+ years my loyalty wasn’t appreciated. I would never recommend them to any driving instructor

Excellent Customer Service and Outstanding Support at DCL Insurance

I had a great experience with one of the advisors at DCL Insurance who helped me from start to finish. They were friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain all the details and make sure I fully understood my options. It was reassuring to speak with someone who knew the taxi insurance industry so well.

Throughout the process, they were always available to answer my questions and never made me feel rushed. Their communication was clear and professional, and they handled everything efficiently, which made the whole experience smooth and hassle-free. It really felt like they cared about providing the best service rather than just selling a policy.

What impressed me most was their genuine willingness to help. They listened carefully to my needs and found the best deal tailored to my situation without any pressure. Thanks to their support, I felt confident and satisfied with my choice, and I would definitely recommend DCL Insurance to other taxi drivers looking for reliable and supportive service.

I received a cheaper quote from another company arround £200 cheaper than DCL renewal offer. I spoke with lady Jill and after discussing with her Manager she reduced my quote to £250 pounds which was best price compared to any other insurance company. I highly recommend DCL for private hire insurance
