Review of Equity Red Star Car Insurance

Submitted by Michael Peters
Review Added: 14/11/2007 - Visitor Rating: 3.66 (3 votes)

Review Categories:
Car Insurance

Customer Review Comments:

Most people buy insurance based on price, however I really wish I had concentrated more on aftersales service.

Don't expect this company to do anything for you in the event of a claim. You will end up doing most of the work yourself. Organising the repairs, talking to the car hire company etc. The repairer didn't finish the work and the car came back with a puncture. I tried to get the insurance company to sort this out, but they expected me to organise it myself.

This company have also bought out some independent insurance brokers recently. You think that you are getting the best insurance quote but they are a front for this company. An example is Bennets in Newbury, Berks.


Good Points: Cheap
Bad Points: Poor customer service especially when things go wrong

This is very true. Am currently going though a non fault claim with them. The customer service from the robot that answered was appalling. No empathy or customer service, didn't even say thank you when I confirmed my details when asked and was teriibly scripted. Operator barked my excess at me and told me that I'd have to organise my hire car myself.

My car insurance came up for renewal and Equity Red Star reduced the NCD from 9 years to 5 years. My broker advised this was a policy change by Red Star. This affects the premium for this year and future premiums when seeking cover in the future. Not impressed, have secured cover elsewhere at a cost Equity can't get down to.
