Insurance Times head of research Savan Shah said that Covéa and Aviva’s five star performances were based on real-life reviews by brokers that have firsthand experience of placing business with the insurers.
For a fourth consecutive year, brokers gave Covéa a maximum five star rating for overall service. Plus, for the second year running, brokers awarded the insurer five stars across all five of the service factors explored in the survey.
Meanwhile, Aviva has returned to a five star status this year after brokers awarded it an overall four star rating last year. It did receive the maximum five stars back in 2020, however.
Shah said: “I’d like to thank all the brokers that took part. We know that insurers take the survey seriously and strive to improve using the information given.”
Brokers rated insurers across these five core areas:
• Claims: Fairness of settlement and speed.
• Underwriting: Expertise, flexibility and support.
• Quality of cover.
• Relationship handling and management.
• Policy documentation. Accuracy and transparency.
Here are just a few examples of the feedback received from brokers regarding the two five star commercial lines providers:
Speaking on Covéa’s overall service, one broker based in the West Midlands said: “ Excellent service and attention from both sales and underwriting staff. Looking for more of the same in the coming 12 months.”
Speaking on Aviva’s overall service, one broker based in the south east of England said: “Excellent. [Aviva is] proactive in looking for value added benefits [it] can offer our clients in addition to the policies.”
The Insurance Times 2022 Etrading Survey is open until midnight on 20 March 2022.
