Good value and dead easy to sign up, I'd say. As a first timer I was worried I'd get lost in the small print, but the site walks you through it step by step and the cover kicked in straight away.
Read morePrice was decent and the signup was quick enough on my phone. Took nearly a week to get the renewal confirmation through though, and I had to email twice before anyone answered, which was a faff with the car due its MOT.
Read moreI needed to cover the excess on my car after a friend recommended it to me, as I had never looked into it before. I did wonder whether the cover would be worth the money, but it turned out to be a sensible choice. The information on the site was clear and the people I spoke to were patient. My policy documents arrived promptly by email and I have had no reason to complain since.

Really good, sorted it in about five minutes on my phone. Got the cover docs straight to my email and the price was lower than what I was quoted elsewhere so no complaints from me.
Bought a standalone excess policy to cover the van I hire out for work. I know the product well from years in the trade, and the policy wording was clearer than most I have read. Cover started the same day and the excess cover pays out as it should on the terms they set out.
Bought it for my new car on my phone while I was on the bus. Asked for my registration and licence details which took two seconds to fill in. Cover was active before I got off at my stop, which was brilliant. Would buy again.
Checked a few other excess insurance options before going with this one, and it came out cheaper than the one my insurer offered me. Took about fifteen minutes to sign up, and the cover confirmation landed in my inbox right away.
Compared this with the excess cover my car insurer offered me, and this was noticeably cheaper for the same amount. Got set up on my first try and the confirmation email came straight through.
I bought the annual excess cover for my partner's car. Before this I had looked at three other sites and this one came out cheapest for the same level of excess. Signing up was straightforward and I had the policy number within minutes.
The renewal quote was the lowest I found after checking the usual comparison sites, and the excess cover for my Fiesta came in about forty quid under what my main insurer wanted. Paid monthly without any fuss.
Compared it with the excess add on my car insurer offered and this was about half the price for the same excess amount. Booked on the bus, took a few minutes, cover confirmed straight after.
I needed to cover the excess on my car after a friend recommended it to me, as I had never looked into it before. I did wonder whether the cover would be worth the money, but it turned out to be a sensible choice. The information on the site was clear and the people I spoke to were patient. My policy documents arrived promptly by email and I have had no reason to complain since.
What surprised me most was that the cover was live the same day I signed up, which I didn't expect at all. I'd never bought excess cover before so I was a bit nervous, but the questions were simple and I got a confirmation email within minutes.
I needed excess cover for my first car after my dad said I had to sort it myself. Had no idea what excess meant until I looked it up. The site explained it simply and I was covered the same afternoon. Really glad I found it.
Compared about four sites before picking this one and they came out cheaper than the big comparison names for my excess cover. Signing up took maybe ten minutes and the cover documents came through by email straight away, which was good. Would use again at renewal.
