Easy

Bought home contents insurance. Cheaper than any other quotes I got and easy to organise. No silly questions about type of locks, etc. Overall, great service.

Customer Sales Service representative - friendly, professional and knowledgeable
06/02/2020
Changed from using a broker to buy our house building and contents Aviva policy, to buy directly from Aviva. The Representative was very good. Had excellent product knowledge matched only by her interpersonal skills. All explained in layman's terms. The Sales Representative deserves 5 stars, and should be commended for representing her brand so well. However, we also have other properties and cars insured with Aviva. We are loyal customers until a poor experience causes one to question whether the after sales service matches the above. Sadly, it did not. An inexperienced person dealt with our claim for a ceiling in imminent danger of collapse, on a Friday evening. The claim Handler didn't understand my concern for my tenant's safety. Eventually, a builder was sent, after much pleading. He was a roofer, who had no experience of indoor work. He did not have dust sheets or anyway of taking the collapsed ceiling's plaster board. But, the local Claim Manager recovered the situation.

Thanks for your positive review, I'm happy to hear of my colleague helping out in sales and have passed your kind words onto her, which we greatly appreciate. It's a shame to hear that the service on your claim did not match your expectation and I sincerely apologise if this caused distress in a troubling situation as you described. I have passed on this feedback also for review so we can ensure our staff are trained and prepared to deal with events such as these in future.

excellent customer service

I bought aviva plus car insurance policy and conversation and details were worked out promptly and whole process was very smooth and swift. I thought about this policy for 24 hours and then decided to purchase the policy. I had compared premium of this policy with other companies and found that the quoted premium was second lowest.

Good value, easy to choose cover details.
03/02/2020
I switched my home and contents insurance to Aviva following buying car insurance with them recently. Two reasons - mainly the cost was less than half what I had been paying for apparently identical cover, and the simplicity of choosing, editing and understanding the products. The only hiccup was in actually buying the product - it was easy enough to save the chosen details but the site initially refused to let me recover the quote and to pay. This took several attempts over a few days but all ended happily ever after thank you!

I already use Aviva for car insurance and have now taken out home insurance with them. The premium was within a couple of pounds of my previous insurer but I liked the fact that the insured value was unlimited and there are no charges in the event of changes or cancellation.

Very competitive policy in terms of cover and premium
03/02/2020
Due to the very competitive premium I went for the highest level of cover which gives me peace of mind that the insurance more than adequately covers my needs.

Renewal info arrives with no explanation as to why the increase is so high. It just ‘is’. You have to ring for a discount which is possible but the attitude is very much ‘take it or leave it’

Hi Simon. Thank you for continuing to insure with us again going forward this year but I'm sorry to hear that you've been left feeling this way. Each home insurance premium is calculated on a variety of rating factors some of which are within your control & while others aren't. For further details about this you can click here - https://www.aviva.co.uk/insurance/home-products/home-insurance/your-home-price-explained/ I can see that after speaking with an adviser to opt to change your payment plan, we were able to reduce the renewal premium offered, although a further change to add more cover after this did result in a small additional premium. I've recorded your comments & feedback thought to ensure improvements are made in the future. Take care
