Aviva Review

As usual have to shop around for the best price every year. Aviva usually tops the charts from the comparison sites.

Reply by Compare by Review

At Compare by Review, we value the importance of excellent product quality and customer service over the price of policies. We understand that you need high quality insurance from a provider that will be there for you when you need them most. Perhaps consider reading reviews and shopping around for a great provider rather than a cheap one.

Seems Like A Trusted Brand But Not Had To Claim So Can’T Comment On That Aspect

Used them for two years running, not had to claim fortunately. They appear to be a trusted brand and any dealings on the phone for renewal were ok.
