Ease. It's central.
“It was a very easy transition from previous insurer. The online service was straight forward too and I got covered without having to speak to anyone. The range of cover was excellent, so that’s why I chose 1st Central”.
Real people. It's central.
“I’ve been with First Central for 2 years and their customer service has been really good anytime that I’ve had to contact them. I love how I get to talk to a real person when I need to. They are supportive and provide great advice”.
Fair price. It's central.
“Their pricing is fair and the customer experience reminds me of a time when service really mattered. They're a refreshing touch in this modern age”.
Understanding. It's central.
“I passed my driving test in 2020, and my first insurer kept putting my price up. 1st Central were very understating of my situation as a first-time driver and will contact me if they see if I am struggling with payment…I think that is very considerate, and I really appreciate the support”.
Excellent service. It's central.
“The price for my cover is very reasonable for the level of cover I receive, and the customer service is excellent. Anytime I’ve had a to call the response times have been great and the advisor was very helpful”.
Support. It's central.
“I’ve only ever had insurance with 1st Central. The price has been reasonable, and I’ve also been given the support I needed throughout my time of being a customer, so I’ve never felt the need to move”.
