Diamond Car Insurance Reviews

I have been with Diamond for about 5yrs.When my renewal price in Aug09 was more than it's ever been due to a SP30 fine i decided to cancel(within the renewal window)and go elsewhere.I have since received a letter charging me 58.61 which i dismissed as i no longer had to deal with them.I then received a CCJ for 78.61 this week from a debt collections agency and apparently as i hadn't notified Diamond of a speeding ticket from July 2008 i was being fined.I've read the Car Insurance Guide i got when i joined&any amendments and it specifies any speeding convictions to be told at Renewal not immediately.i'm still awaiting a call back from Diamond.I have faxed off all the info i have to the debt collections agency so they are aware and have put my case on hold for 7 days. I would not recommend Diamond at all!!

I can only really review my experiences of Diamond, and my only experience is the pricing! I have been with Diamond car insurance for six months now (my first six months of driving). I used www.comparethemarket.com to get my quotes for my first car and they came up the cheapest along with their sister company, Admiral. Their prices were ...  Read the complete review

I have had my car insurance with Diamond for around 2 and a half years now. I first signed up with them because they were the cheapest quote I could find for a learner driver with a VW golf, back then my premium if I remember was just under £1000. When I got round to passing my test I was quite annoyed with Diamond as they charged me a fee of ...  Read the complete review

I have mixed feelings towards Diamond. As I'm sure like a lot of people, my only reason for changing to diamond for my car insurance was the price. Looking for reasonable priced car insurance when you have had an accident (in which the car was written off during blizzard like conditions) on your records is obviously more taxing and ...  Read the complete review

Diamond are the best insurance company that I have ever been with! I searched online for a motor insurance quote when my insurance was up for renewal, and they came out as the cheapest. I spoke to them on the phone and they confirmed the quote. I was impressed with the politeness of the person who I was speaking to and I ...  Read the complete review

Absolutely Fantastic!!!! i am well chuffed with Diamond second time around i must say. i bought my car in november of 2007 (a 2001 corsa) and they quoted me £300 to cover it fully comprehensive compared to Endsleigh wanting to charge me £600 for third party fire and theft, no difference in the car no modifications or ...  Read the complete review

A car drove in to the back of my car while I waited at a crossing 3 month's ago. The other insurance company admitted liability immediately, I arranged the repairs myself and all Diamond had to do was reclaim the excess from the other insurance company. I sent the information needed off more than 6 weeks ago, was told it normally takes a week ...  Read the complete review

When i first passed my test diamond were the only women only insurance company i had heard of, i phoned them after seeing a advert on tv for there insurance. The advert they use says that they are the cheapest around for womend drivers and specialise in young drivers aswell, me being young and female thought they were my best option so ...  Read the complete review

Money supermarket was how I come to deciding on using Diamond as my car insurer as they were the cheapest - excellent. Called them up and took the policy out then two months later it all went wrong. Got a call after two months - a curtisy call making sure I was happy with my policy and to double check all my contact details blah blah ...  Read the complete review

Diamond Insurance - be aware that this company adds to its profits by automatically renewing your insurance policy and will then chase you through the courts for monies owed. My policy ran out at the same time as I moved house. As Diamond were not the cheapest I changed insurers. I didn't inform Diamond of my change of address as I had no ...  Read the complete review

Call centre from hell, I don't care how cheap they are, stay well clear if you don't want to burst a blood vessle. I wish British companies would wise up to the fact that they would be better with an automated phone system than with these Indian call centres, paying 10p a minute to have a heart attack is not my idea of ...  Read the complete review

Well the time has come to renew my car insurance, like most people i shopped about for the cheapest quote. I have had 2 accidents and a conviction in the past 2 years so i was expecting the quotes to be high anyway. So when i did a quote with diamond i was very pleased with the quote that i got back online. I was quoted £607.87. As i wanted to pay ...  Read the complete review

I first signed up with diamond a year ago when curiously enough their quote was cheaper than Direct Line (my then current insurer). Other then the fact that they didn't recognise my make and model of car (A ford fiesta) and kept asking condescending questions like "are you sure its a 16v love, or is it an import?" we got there in ...  Read the complete review

I had been insured previously with Diamond and switched last year as elephant.co.uk gave me a better offer. This year my parents had offered to pay for my car insurance as I have gone back to studying full-time to do an Msc in speech therapy. I dutifuly searched many insurance companies to get the cheapest quote as i did not want my parents to ...  Read the complete review

Never use them again! - Advantages: cheap - Disadvantages: Unfair, unprofessional, make promises they don't keep

I originally wrote this opinion for Admiral Car Insurance, but as Admiral, Diamond and Elephant Car Insurance are run by the same company I decided to include this opinion under these headings as well. Sorry if you have already read this review. If you haven't, then sorry for the long op, but the tips for a cheaper quote at the end are well ...  Read the complete review

My husband would disagree with the statement that Diamond attracted me with. This was that Women are more careful drivers than men. He claims that they are more dangerous when he is cursing and moaning about being stuck behind someone that is driving slower than he is. Well the facts don't lie do they? If they did, companies like ...  Read the complete review

Whether you agree with Diamond's statement, that women are better and safer drivers than men, or not, you're still bound to get the best deal for car insurance if you've just started driving. As years and wisdom are not on my side yet, I cannot say for a fact, but I should imagine that as you go into your thirties and forties, car ...  Read the complete review

I thought I would give Diamond a go because my sister, who is only 19 (I am also under 25), had had a quote for only £500 for her Peugeot 306 turbo diesel and, although they say they are for women, she was able to put my dad as a named driver - perfect for me and my husband. I decided to give the website a go as it is more convenient to ...  Read the complete review
