What to do if you have a complaint

Our aim is to provide you with a high-quality service at all times, although we do appreciate that there may be instances where you feel it is necessary to lodge a complaint.

If you do wish to complain, please note the 3 steps below, along with the relevant contact details for each step.

Please take special note that should you wish to direct your complaint directly to Lloyd’s in the first instance, you may do so by using the contact information referenced in Step 2 below.

Step 1

Step 2

Should you remain dissatisfied with the outcome of your complaint from the administrator, your legal rights are not affected and you may refer your complaint to Lloyd’s. Lloyd’s contact information is:

Alternatively, if you live in the UK and if you purchased your insurance online*, please note that you can, if you wish, also submit your complaint via the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Platform set up by the European Commission. This service has been set up to help residents in the European Economic Area (EEA), who have bought goods or services online, get their complaint resolved. You can access the ODR Platform by clicking on the following link: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/

This does not affect your right to submit your complaint following the process above. Please note that under current rules the European Commission will ultimately redirect your complaint to the relevant ADR body detailed above.

* “Online” includes all products sold via a website, email, telephone and social media amongst others with a digital element.
