Insurance renewal time, who do you recommend?

[sihart100]

Who do you guys recommend for insurance?

 

My employer, tool and public liability insurance is up end of this month, I'm currently with trust insurance but want to make sure I'm getting a fair price, as I've added quite a lot of kit over the last few years and my premiums have been creeping up.

 

I'm not after the cheapest price but would rather be with a insurance company that's pays out if ever needed with out to much fuss!

 

I've heard good things about trust but checking what other people's experiences have been like with other companies?

 

Thanks Simon

Trust, speak to Cameron 01604 492644, I have been with them 10 years, paid out when needed. Not much dearer than there competitors but at least the bother to call back and advise on the policy that's best for you.

I remember telling Trust I was thinking of not renewing el+pl+tool insurance after 10 yrs and no claims with them.

Their attitude was surprisingly unpleasant and unprofessional. i.e slating competitors and questioning my own judgement.

 

These day I always shop around and although I think some of their staff should go on a customer relations course I have since gone back to them to insure my tipper - as they were the cheapest !

 

My advice is to shop around - but only if you want to save some money, and use your own judgement as for every person who says a company pays out, there is always someone else who says they got stiffed.

 

They all wanna be your "Best Mate" ..until the premiums stop!

Same here, when I was renewal time for me, said they wouldn't wipe their arse with competitors policies, v unprofessional IMO, I'm with tree surgeon insurance now, great service, paid out with no fuss when I had a claim and my PL and El combined came in cheaper than just Pl with another company

I'm with arborisk can't fault their customer service and premiums. I haven't had to use them yet touch wood but if their claims is as smooth as the rest of their services hopefully it is ok.

Arborisk for me, very competitive and outstanding service when I unfortunately needed to make a claim due to theft.

Another vote for Arborisk from me.

Ok thanks for your replies, I rang arborisk last week and they seemed keen but they haven't got back to me with a price yet. I also called Tree surgeon insurance and they haven't even returned my call to take details for a quote! Can't believe how hard it is to get quotes!
