Clear communication
Your insurer must provide clear and concise information about your policy coverage, exclusions, and claims process.
Fair claims handling
Your insurer is obligated to assess your claim fairly and promptly.

If you feel your insurer has not upheld your car insurance consumer rights, you can lodge a formal complaint. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) also sets out guidelines for how complaints should be handled. It’s important to follow your insurer’s internal complaints procedure first. If you are unhappy with the outcome of the insurer’s internal complaints procedure, you can escalate your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). The FOS is an independent body that can review your complaint and make a binding decision.
