A team of independent number-crunchers then calculated an average score for each company before Auto Express formed the overall ranking.

Expressing opinion on NFU mutual one costumer said it was “the best all rounder I have ever dealt with, good levels of cover, excellent customer service and keen prices.” In addition to being rated first overall, the company also came out top for the individual aspects of communication and helpfulness.

This survey is particularly important because it is voted for by our customers who clearly value personal service, both at the time of purchase and beyond. Yet again our combination of excellent cover and service has been a winning one.”
