Asking the same questions when trying to complete was quite confusing
good value and great web portal to manage your documents through
The renewal price was more than double 3 other companies I got quote offers from.
Had as little as £208 these guys wer at over 400. And I'd been with them for a year already. And it went up considerably from even the previous year
I’ve had a positive experience with my car insurance so far. The sign-up process was quick and easy, and the monthly premium is reasonable for the coverage I’m getting. Customer service was polite and helpful,
Overall, I feel confident knowing I’m well covered.
I found everything easy to understand and helpful I'm not keen doing things online and my experience with 1st Central was stress free. And I got a great deal. I'm looking forward to doing business with them from the 6th/11/25.
some issues with final details auto entered, it sent me around in a loop until I entered them myself but other than that it was a great XP and super price
1st Central are liars and thieves and completely incompetent. Not to say stupid. As an example of this when told they were not to take money from my account using my card details and to leave the policy as initially stated they said they "would only do so with your consent". They stole the money any way. Claiming that details from comparison websites meant they could use any details they found. Details like my search for differences in insurance cost due to possible changes in employment and distances to be travelled. None of which came to pass.
After repeatedly stating that no changes are to be made they made changes to my policy and charged excessive amounts. Comparison websites were checked by independent verifiers and it was proved no increased charges were evident.
I received an email stating the following...
"In order to review all changes made to your policy, we require a photocopy copy of the following documents:
• We need you to please call us on 0333 043 2095 so we can confirm some of your details over the phone"
Followed by...
"What happens if I can’t provide this information?
If you do not provide the outstanding information, your policy will remain as it is with any changes that have been made, and any additional premium charged will stand."
So I need to provide photocopies of documents over a landline phone number. I have no idea what documents they want sending by a phone call to a landline.
Having taken the money I now cannot pay my rent. My direct debit was refused by my bank and a charge for that was made.
1st Central have now put me in debt and caused me to have a negative state with my bank where for 20 years I had a positive one.
Very smooth and quick service to insure my car
The whole process was so simple and smooth
Very easy and quick.Very competitive on price too.
Everything from reminders to good insurance rates.
