TrustpilotIf I could give 0 stars I would
If I could give 0 stars I would. My uncle died in a tragic accident BEFORE his new car insurance started but via Brightside Car Insurance would not give a full refund but instead kept £130 of my uncle’s money. He died on 4th September before his old insurance ran out and I think that it is disgusting that they did not return all of his money. Incredibly heartless and cruel.

TrustpilotIncreased premium by 60% for no reason!!
They just increased my home insurance premium by 60% despite me being with them for over 10 years and NEVER making a claim! There has also not been a natural disaster in the area to justify the increase. I am absolutely furious and have changed insurer.

TrustpilotExtremely Disappointing, Delays and Excuses to Avoid Paying Out
It’s taken over six months for my cat’s claim to be reviewed. While the insurer paid out the smaller part of the claim, they continue to delay the larger invoice, asking for the same medical information multiple times, despite confirming in writing they’ve already received it.

TrustpilotExtremely bad service
I am trying to help a very elderly friend whose garden wall was demolished by a van driver 10 weeks ago. On making a claim, through A Plan who she has been with for 35 years, a cheque arrived through the post for an inadequate sum supposedly in full settlement to which she had no previous knowledge as she had not even submitted a quote at that time. Since supplying quotes she has heard nothing.

GoogleThe worst company I have dealt with. This is my first claim with the company and I have been with them for the last 4 years. My claim has been ongoing since November 2019 and still has not been finalised. I don't receive reply back from emails and when i call them, am promised a call back and which I never receive. Am tired of chasing. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS COMPANY

TrustpilotBeyond awful
Beyond awful. Took over 6 months to a settlement after the whole downstairs of.my house was damaged by water. The agent I was assigned argued about every quote even to the point that he said that he knew how much plastering should be as he has done little bits himself in his own home. Would never recommend and will definitely not be renewing my policy with them. Slow, rude, argumentative and absolutely clueless.

Landlord insurance.Water leak from our flat that damaged property below.Cover deemed it wasn't our fault and hence didn't pay out. I'm at somewhat at a loss as to the point of paying this company several hundred pounds in premium.

If everyone at Covea was as good as Riz, I would give you 5 stars. Riz has been so helpful with sorting out my claim, I was so stressed out till I received his call and couldn't thank him enough for his help. Christmas bonus for Riz please Covea.

So difficult to find any contact details. Finally got through to RAC to be told they are nothing more than a broker for this insurers. I have been passed around a lot, so difficult to contact.
