Emergency 24/7 claim line only open 9-5, Mon to Friday

I’ve been with Devitt’s for cover on my Triumph Trophy for a couple of years. Yesterday (Saturday) I had a (thankfully) small accident, where a driver reversed into my stationary vehicle and has admitted full liability.
I tried to notify Devitt as soon as I got home and was horrified to find that the supposed 24/7 claim line states the following. “Our office is closed now. Our hours are 09.00-17.00, Monday to Friday, please call back then.
I triple checked the number and tried several times - always the same recording.
God help me if I had needed genuine emergency assistance from my insurers. In 40yrs of riding I have never come across this appalling absence of service before. Are Devitt’s in financial difficulty?

Appalling Customer Service

Devitt have renewed my insurance policy twice. I have tried to call them multiple times to resolve the situation.
I have been on hold for periods ranging from 11 to 35 mins.
I have received no response from them whatsoever.
Please do not use this company for your insurance needs as they do not seem to care about their customers and their service standards appear to be dreadfully low.
If I could give a 0 star review, I would.

Hello David, thank you for contacting us.

I have looked into both references and can see that only reference 1672108 has been renewed ready for the 4th of September and only one payment has been collected. Reference 2138908 has been replaced with reference 1672108 as we now have a different system so there is a new reference number for your policy.

if you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you, Jemma

Frustrating!!!

Frustrating!!!
Tried to cancel renewal of policy and automatic renewal. First couldn’t get onto the website after trying to log in , too many reference numbers, then tried to ring and spent ages hanging on the phone so hung up. So I emailed on Friday 28/8/26 requesting cancellation and asking for confirmation, not even an automated reply. Tried again today to get on the website and succeeded but got to the cancel auto renewal section, oh dear it’s not possible to cancel due to a technical fault. Only way to do it is to call and be in a massive queue.
I have emailed them twice to cancel the policy as it’s impossible to do it any other way.
Not happy at all

Numerous bad issues

Numerous issues.
1. I can't set up an online profile, their online system is awful.
2. Took over 30 minutes to get them on the phone for a renewal price.
3. I wanted a renewal price 24 days before but they say they can't issue a renewal price until 20-21 days.
4. The sales assistant on the phone was obviously under time pressure and was rattling through sentences at a rate of knots - it was clear he wanted me off the phone quickly.
Nah, thanks all the same, I'll go somewhere else.

Just had a default for a missed direct debit first in years and i get that. Personally i think giving a default for a missed direct debit which was then paid on the next one is severe. Yes non payers but a glitch? On top
Of the £25 fee. Just shows not there for the customer its all about them. Go to benetts or bikesure

Still waiting for a quote a month later

Having received an email from the Caravan & Motorhome Club about their insurance (via Devitt) and a promise to beat my renewal quote by £25, I called Devitt for a quotation.

Firstly, the lady I spoke to was the most abrupt and "mumbly" person I can ever remember speaking to on the phone. It honestly sounded like she hated her job and just wanted to be anywhere else other than on the phone to me. This didn't inspire confidence.

After answering all her many questions about the vehicle, type of cover, drivers, etc, she said she would call me back shortly with my quote.

A month later, I've still never received that call.

Will I waste my time calling back next year for another quote? Not a chance.

A Company That Truly Does the Right Thing

I was genuinely surprised to receive a payment from Devitt completely out of the blue regarding an insurance policy I had with them almost four years ago. The fact that they took the time to review something from so long ago and make a payment where they believed it was due says a lot about the company’s integrity, reliability and commitment to doing the right thing.

It’s very reassuring to see a company take responsibility and act with such a strong sense of business ethics, even years after the original policy. A really positive experience and definitely deserving of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Unwarranted threat of cancellation?

Just taken out CAMC motorhome insurance. Disappointing to find that this company uses aggressive communication with threats of cancellation if they don’t receive certain documentation in time. In this instance it was a proof of renewal letter from my previous insurer…I have never had to disclose this private information to any other insurer in the past. I question if this private letter is a legal requirement for Devitt prior to the issue an insurance policy, or is it an underhand tactic Devitt uses for obtaining information for marketing purposes. Perhaps Devitt you would care to explain?Reluctantly, having already purchased the annual premium which was mutually accepted by Devitt, I chased down the required document which wasn’t easy and passed it on to Devitt; although I now wish I hadn’t. Impolite, intrusive and aggressive communication from this company is rather worrying and my only hope is that I never have to make a claim with them.

Dear Mr Clegg,

Thank you for your review. I have had a look into this and would like to advise the following.

The reason we have asked for your current renewal is due the renewal price match being applied to the policy. This means that we will guarantee to beat your current renewal by £25 providing both policies are on a like for like basis and that the current renewal is not with ourselves. If you do not wish for this to be applied to the policy, we can requote you based on no renewal price match being applied, meaning the policy will be based on the current insurance rates.

The renewal price match is applied when a target price is entered on the quotation, which you have done. This target premium must be your current renewal premium offered by your current providers.

The renewal notice is asked for as this provides a breakdown of the premium in regards to any extras you purchased that would be in addition to the annual premium such as breakdown cover. This is to ensure we deduct the £25 from the actual premium and not the total premium. We do not use this information for any other purpose.

In regards to our letters, these are system driven which means they are set to be issued at certain times until the documents are received or the policy is cancelled. I'm sorry if you feel the wording of the letter came across as impolite, intrusive and aggressive. If there is anything further we can assist with, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you, Jemma
