Excellent customer service

Thanks to Claire Lewis and whoever it was I spoke to prior to Claire for being so helpful and sending a letter to the RAC for me regarding an incident in 2020 in which they were the insurers. Very good customer service thanks Bev Sweeney xx

My car insurance is due for renewal and…

My car insurance is due for renewal and I received an email from Provident saying they were unable to quote for the following year. I have been with them for years so I phoned to find out why. I was told it was nothing to do with me or with my driving record they weren't renewing policies at this time. I asked why? I was told they hadn't been told why. I then asked if I had renewed 6 months ago would that mean in 6 months time I would be refused a renewal because they aren't renewing policies at the moment? Just got the same answer, they aren't renewing policies at this time. Very unhappy customer.

Good afternoon, we are sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with our explanation. We are currently not accepting any renewals or new policies for any customer at the moment. All we can advise is to search for other insurance on a comparison website. Many thanks, Kieran.

I changed my car and tired to update this information online to make the process a little quicker, and then something went wrong so I called. My call was taken by Dave who was very friendly from the start. I explained my situation to Dave and he made the whole process seamless and everything was explained very clearly and the process was done in no time. He was excellent!!! It makes a difference

Great customer service and renewal quote

Renewal quote came in cheaper than last year and better than open market quotes.
I needed to change a few details and spoke with Lynn who was very helpful and friendly.
Really impressed with the service.
