Questor Insurance

"I should state from the start that my claim was settled. However, it was an awkward process. Whenever I take out insurance, I normally check what I am covered for and not the minutae of the Ts&C and claim process. Be aware that the company requires all the usual documentation along with either a repair invoice or a matrix of charges from the Car Hire company. Not an easy thing to do once you return home."

"System was easy to use to upload the information, they were very clear on what information was required, and once i uploaded the final repair invoice the money was paid within a couple of days. Fantastic, will use everytime now."

"The proof of any insurance is always about how they behave when you make a claim (rather than how easily and quickly they sign you up). I have had excess car hire insurance with Questor for over two years. On a recent trip to Italy, I scraped the underside front bumper of our minibus. Questor (through Orchard's admin) needed a formal invoice from the rental company but have paid out in full with no fuss. Therefore I highly recommend them."

"I have been more than sceptical with purchasing full cover from Questor as I had a few bad experiences in the past with a few other car and health insurance companies. Thus, when I scratched a rental car in Italy I thought “ok, this is it, I am in trouble”. However, despite my concerns, after having provided all the documents that were needed the refund has reached my account in 5 days. Very impressive, Great job. I have recommended Questor to all of my friends who are attending my wedding in Italy this June."

"I used this company for car hire excess insurance. My claim for a 1000euro damage is proving to be a long (4+ months) and tediously drawn out process (numerous calls, emails) with them. Applying and taking payment was seamless though. I will definitely not use this company again. Update following reply from Questor: I requested your claims handler (Orchard Administration) to obtain the repair bill on my behalf 5 weeks ago. Please can you clarify for the benefit of me and your future clients: 1. If the rental company, in this case Budget/Avis, does not provide the garage repair bill, will Questor estimate what a fair and reasonable cost of repair would be, and award the claim on that basis? 2. what period of time do you allow the rental company to provide the repair bill before assessing the claim by other means? When I asked these questions over the phone to your customer services, the unhelpful responses I got back were: 1. It's in the small print as a condition 2. how long is a piece of string"
