Phone was answered promptly each time I got in contact and queries were dealt with efficiently by polite and friendly staff. Not the absolute cheapest quotes for car and motorcycle but with companies I know of and reasonable excesses! Of course, you can't really rate insurance until you need to make a claim ( hopefully never !) but straightforward so far.

I was happy with the service.
The lady who I spoke to was very nice attentive and made the experience of swapping me insurance from van to car seem very easy.

I always use a broker for my car and buildings insurance. I have used Howden (and their predecessor A Plan) since 1989.
As a broker, they look through the non-direct market, inc Lloyds, to find the best/most suitable deal for you.
Personally, I don't want the cheapest deal if it means that the insurance co will look to short change you at every step at the very time when you are the most vulnerable; when having to make a claim.
I only want honourable insurance cos, and Howden have never let me down in this regard.
On the rare occasions I have needed to make a claim, they fight my corner. IE You have someone on your side against 'the big bad wolf' (as I see it).
I don't know if I pay a bit more for this service, because I have never tried going direct etc, but I wouldn't mind if it did cost a bit more for the extra peace of mind....
HOWEVER maybe I'm not paying extra anyway.
I think people are crazy to go direct when you can have a broker there genuinely to help you. IE No conflict of interest.
But hey; 'there's ne'er so queer as folk'!
