Very Difficult to Contact and Make Payments
Very disappointed with Collinswood Insurance. I have tried multiple times to contact them by phone, but it is extremely difficult to get through to anyone. They also don’t seem to offer a proper direct debit option, which means I have to call every month just to make a payment — this is very inconvenient and frustrating.
I also sent an email requesting a call back, but I have not received any response. The lack of communication and support is unacceptable and has caused unnecessary stress. I hope they seriously improve their customer service and payment options in the future.

Be careful with learner driver insurance from Collingwood. They charge a £40 cancellation fee when you pass your driving test, even though passing is the whole purpose of having learner insurance. As the policy cannot continue once you've passed, you're effectively forced to cancel and pay the fee. This feels like a hidden and unreasonable extra cost that all customers are likely to incur. Had I known about this charge upfront, I would have considered other providers.

Be extremely cautious before taking out a learner policy with this company. They charge a £75 administration fee just to set up the policy, a £40 cancellation fee when you pass your test, and an additional £4.50 added to every monthly payment.On top of that, the insurance itself is priced at short‑term rates, meaning you pay around 80% of the annual premium for only six months of cover, plus all the fees mentioned above.These costs are buried in the small print—a very clever arrangement between the so‑called broker and the insurer, leaving customers paying heavily at both ends. All there so called terms is burried in hyperlinks in their quote journey.

My daughter passed her test just over 6 months into the policy, and you are warned that you must let them know immediately when the test is passed. I did this, and not only did I not get a refund, but I had to pay more money for the privilege of canceling !!!! Avoid Avoid Avoid

Stay clear of Collingwood
So many negative replies for Collingwood, i would stay clear.
They comply with the "regulations" and use this to their advantage to ensure that you are truly stung for fees, and if you pass your test or need to cancel at any point, you will get practically nothing back from your policy. I cancelled one after around 3 months and for a policy over £200 i got £11 back after fees.
They try to claim that Collingwood Insurance Services and Collingwood Insurance are two completely separate non-affiliated companies, they are obviously owned by the same people and another way to maximise on their fees.
Again they will hide behind regulations, but in essence this is an unethical company who isn't interested in any customer feedback or complaints, and just interested in making as much money as humanly possible

The cost of cancelling
If you think your child will take/pass their test within a year don't buy this insurance. The devil is in the detail. Hefty cancellation fee, not proportional refunds versus time insured etc. I cancelled after 8 months and a few days and, having paid upfront, had to pay another £40 as the cancellation fee with no reimbursement for the remaining 4 months.... To be fair I should have read the small print but if they were open and honest the cost of passing your test within a year should be front and centre...

Great friendly service
Great friendly service, easy going and Sarah who I was speaking to was a fun, chatty and helpful agent. Wasn’t the typical scripted, robotic, and boring person. Made the process easy and they also do all the work you just have to pay your premium. It’s that simple! Would highly recommend anyone looking for taxi insurance to give this company a look and hopefully you get Sarah! Definitely the best insurance consultant I’ve spoke to!
