Quinn Direct Car Insurance

Newest Review: ... they then re-quoted me (approx) £1400. After phoning them and saying that I was not accepting that amount and wanted to cancel the renewal, they phoned me back 10 minutes later and offered me the same policy for approx £980. - Not happy I had to go as far as having to leave to be offered better deal, but still, acceptable. This year I had to phone them for a renewal quote as I was being bombarded by other offers and had not yet received a quote from them. Quinn quoted me approx £1300, they then posted the quote out a week later. I phoned enquiring as to why it had increased so much, again. I was told on the phone that it is 'what happens,... more

Quinn Direct: Poor customer service and rip off (486 words)

I started with Quinn in 2009 when I first got my car as they were cheapest on market, especially as I was a young brand new driver. For the first year for comprehensive insurance the cost was approx £800 for the year, on the one occasion I needed a home start, I had someone come out on christmas day within 5 hours - brilliant. - No complaints. I never needed to call them out again or make any claim in the 3 years I was with them. Last year they quoted me approx the same amount, until I informed them that I had bought a house 8 miles down the road and they then re-quoted me (approx) £1400. After phoning them and saying that I was not accepting that ...  Read the complete review

Avoid - two direct experiences both abysmal (292 words)

Here's the inside track on Quinn - I have two personal experiences of them - both bad. One from my policy another from my partner's son. Mine first - I insured a little runaround I'd bought for my son to learn to drive, foolishly using my own name as policy holder and him as a named driver. We had the mildest of bumps with an old BMW driven by an Eastern European who made such as fuss about the incident that my partner filmed both him and the damage on her blackberry. We spoke to Quinn and told them that there was virtually no damage and we were suspicious of the circumstances. We heard no more and assumed they had rejected any claim. When the renewal came they were ...  Read the complete review

I took out a policy with Quinn direct last year to insure my partner and I on our car. We used a comparison site called moneysupermarket, and Quinn direct came in as the cheapest. I took out the policy online, and paid the deposit, and then the monthly payments came out as stated. A few months after this i had to change my car because my current car broke down, and would have cost more to fix than the car was worth (only worth a couple of hundred pounds). I made a phonecall to Quinn and asked could i change my vehicle instantly. They said yes, but i would need to pay an extra 80pounds for the year because my new car was newer than my old ...  Read the complete review

I have two 17 year olds, one boy and one girl. I did an online comparison check for insurance and it came up with this company as the best quote. We had a group one car which my partner used and we were going to learn them to drive. So with full no claims and the addition of these two, the quote went up from £12.50 a month to £68.00 but we accepted it as it was one of the cheapest. The twins been leaning to drive about 5 months now and one twin shows no interest and the other has got his own car so we thought lets take them off the policy which has been running about 6 months. Well a few weeks ago my step son who is 31 had his car in ...  Read the complete review

Quinn Direct: utter disgrace (427 words)

Do not use this company on any account. I had the misfortune to call on their breakdown cover. The breakdown service was abysmal.... A surly rude man who said he didn't know what was wrong. He said it wasn't the battery as he first thought. My car is a Suzuki automatic. He asked me to find a garage. I was 150 miles away from home and did not know the area. I had to ask a local who gave me the name of a garage. I passed this onto the breakdown man who said I had to ring them. This I did. The breakdown man said he knew the garage and towed my automatic car away. Upon reaching the garage, he left me. The garage could not fix the car as it was a Suzuki and they did not have .  Read the complete review
