Obviously don't want any of my previous posts to come across as any personal attack against Tim@Prestige and based on the relentless posting of testimonials working for them as a company........ thought I spend a few minutes and try and help as well.....

(all genuine replies on various forums)

We got a quote for our UP! and was more expensive than our renewal however was very nice lady on phone and did not seem to care about mods as long as did not make it any faster! VWUP forum…

Hey Up!*
Dont think Ill bother to be honest...called Prestige up & they informed that they have a MINiMUM premium of £300!! VW insurance quoting us at £205.... check them out beforehand ! (I reckon its a Stitch Up!) VWUP forum…

Sorry Tim - gave your lot a second chance but again was told min premium was £300.
Went with VW insurance £228 fully comp with protected no claims, legal cover and only £100 xs
Bargain IMO VWUP forum

Rather blatant advertising as matter of interest they were far dearer than my Aviva premium even though they say they work with Aviva (a fact I very much doudbt)
Like all insurance brokers they say they are the best and cheapest but reality is often different. VWUP forum

hear so many good things
but it was a shame you couldn't beat lv for price WMVX forums


Just got off the phone to you guys and to be honest I was massively disappointed . Last year my premium was £680. Cheapest quote you could offer was £1200. A lot of hype over a very poor price WMVX forums

Ok rang you guys today as my insurance is due start of February. You were £200 more expensive than Flux.
Sorry folks but you lost this one. WMVX forums

had a price this mornimg of a very nice lady but it was massive ,way way more than others i.ve had prices off WMVX forums

Just rang number you supplied for prestige insurance im 36 with full ncd but they wouldnt insure me TYPE RA forums

Just had call from prestige £650 ouch looks like ill be sticking with Keith Michaels TYPE RA forums

Hi Tim
As a freebie and not added to the premium, i dont require a free MOT from Halfords, so can i take my "freebie in the form of a discount off the initial quote you give For example, you quote me £400 i accept / renew then take away my freebie or discount of £54.85 which would leave £345.15 - 14% off comprehensive premiums £48.32 Total owing for the year £296.83

I personally dont use Halfords for any servicing or MOT work.

I do look forward to getting a quote from your company in the future, looks like some great savings to be made off my current premium. im currently paying £452.00 for the year on a standard wr1, Birmingham area, so to save 50% off that premium as per the Hyundia club gentleman or even saving £100 as per some of your testimonials and a further 14% reduction off comprehensive cover would be fantastic, and of course not forgetting my "freebie / discount deduction, I would be looking to pay just over £200 a year then......." win! win! in my book

Thanks

It was £900 more than Greenlight. mini torque forums

Sadly you couldn't quote me based on my modifications. Pity....

Had anyone on MT taken a policy out yet? mini torque forums

Rang you guys for a quote, unfortunately you wanted more than what my renewal was... By like 500 squids! Shame really, great people to talk too and new there stuff. mini torque forums

gave you guys a call, friday gone, unfortunately you couldn't get close to Sky's price Primera forums

sorry to say, but quote i received from you today is competitive - you can compete with tesco or asda insurance....

in the mean time i got renewal quote from my current broker - £160 less than Prestige.... (thats even before negotiations and without shopping around)

bit dissapointed I have to say, but it might just be my luck UKLegacy forums

called again, shame to hear your quote, not sure why but it was 50% more than my renewal one**oh well UKLegacy forums

£400 more for me. Apparently my theft claim, despite having paid for a protected NCD is classed as my fault.

Just a bit unfair TBH. Treat all your prospective customers as criminals - what a great way to do business. Oddly enough, dealing directly with Aviva with no brokers involved was £350 less than Prestige could offer. They even took into account the Cat 1 alarm Prestige didn't even ask about. UKLegacy forums

Disappointed I won't be using you guys... For some reason, apparently due to the "area" I'm in, your quote was TWICE as much as my highest quote... little confused to say the least, wasn't an issue for any other insurers, but, that as side, great friendly service, called me back the next day and everything, so recommend people give em a call, can't fault their service. UKLegacy forums

Yup, pretty much the same as my experience. "Due to your claim your quote comes in at over £800"
Aviva came in at £150 more than last year, including the claim. For a driver with a clean license, in a good insurance post code, and having had exactly one claim in over 30 years of driving - I found the quote extremely disappointing.
I wont even bother contacting at renewal time next year. UKLegacy forums

and this was a post placed by Tim@prestige edited after it was highlighted

Feedback
• 'Well I've got to say I'm extremely pleased with the service....extremely helpful and courteous doing exactly what they said they'd do. And to top it all my premium is less than my renewal and has £150 less excess too! I will recommend you to others and can say to folks on here, give them a try, they've been exceptional with me.'
• 'Prestige definitely treated me right Beat all the competitors quotes and even found out for me about modifications, their value and even buying the car back in event of anything happening.'
• 'Prestige saved me almost £100 from the best quote I've had so far. £550 for living in N10 is great price as I had to pay around £900 last year. I'd like to thank Dave from Prestige who knew what he was talking about with no nonsense questions and he was the only agent I spoke to during my call and he did call me back as promised.'
• 'Quick, efficient, helpful. Take it from me, this is insurance with a human touch! I would encourage anyone who needs a quote to give Prestige a ring, what have you got to lose?'


which you all have to admit was a bit funny….lol

anyway can't beat balanced feedback ..............HTH
