Quick off the mark
Quick, responsive, clear, good value. Not like our current insurer who we've been talking to for weeks who have missed their own end-of-policy renewal date and not even provided a quote.

Excellent service as ever from Pikl Insurance
Excellent service as ever from Pikl Insurance today when I enquired about my renewal quotation. The representative I spoke to called Leila, was very approachable and put me at ease whilst being very professional, she read out all the legal requirements but kept stopping and checking I understood what was being said and inviting questions if I was uncertain. I would be very happy to recommend Pikl insurance company.
