Damage to your automobile, damage to another person’s property or vehicle, harming someone with your vehicle, and other financial hazards can all be avoided with car insurance.
With so many car insurance providers in the UK, it’s easy to become overwhelmed – and many people choose policies solely based on price through comparison websites, when finding an insurer should be about much more: who provides the best coverage for a reasonable price, who provides excellent customer service, an efficient claims process, and easily accessible ways to manage policies and make payments.
Based on strong scores for customer service and complaint management from financial services review agencies like Fairer Finance, as well as the quality of the cover on offer, including additional add-ons, any has identified the top 10 leading auto insurance companies in the UK. These rankings are based on August 2021 data from Bought by Many.
