Rubbish
Rubbish! Made a claim for only a couple hundred, got refused as put down to behavioural. Fast enough to take peoples money!
Just received a new quote for next year was a lot more money, called and cancelled as not paying for an insurance company who refuse to pay out!
AVOID!

I'm sorry you feel this way. Our claims team requests vet’s notes in order to settle claims and determine the nature of the issues, such as whether they are behavioural.

Don't touch these crooks with a bargepole
Increased my renewal price by over 44%, despite me never making a claim with them.
Avoid at all costs.
Go and get yourself a bargepole, and then don't touch Swinton with it.

I wish I had read all the reviews TERRIBLE
I wish I had read all the reviews but thought they were a reputable brand! Having to pay out for vets/medical bills then wait an eternity to be paid back, up to 4 weeks…. Really? Why? I have another dog insured with WAGGEL and can’t recommend enough. Claims settled in 7-10 days and this was for a serious illness. My dog has had an issue with his ear so only £200 but it will take them nearly 5 weeks to party back. Luckily the policy is due up in April and I can move elsewhere but lo and behold I was told I can’t turn off the “auto renew’ just incase I forget I suppose….i won’t be forgetting 🤬 total lack of communication too…. Awful service, STAY CLEAR

Good experience claiming with Swinton Pet insurance
We had a good experience with Swinton Pet insurance. I’ve only given 4 stars as when I first filled in the online claim form this didn’t process properly and my claim wasn’t registered. But after calling them and emailing the claim forms our claim was processed quite swiftly. I was very worried because it turned out I’d put the wrong cat breed down on the insurance policy but this was easily amended and claim allowed and reimbursed within a couple of weeks.

Warning!!
Warning!!! Do not use these to insure you Pet, claiming money back is a nightmare, they have all information including invoice and after nearly 2 weeks of having them, Swindon sent me an email saying 4 week before I get any reimbursement of funds. Complaint has been made.
I have 3 days to wait for a response on my complaint, what a joke.

Shocking claims process
Absolutely terrible service, had to file the claim twice as they didn't have any record of the first claim filed in September when i chased it up, despite me having the email confirmation.
The second claim was made in October, we are now in January and I've had one phone call in November to confirm they have asked the vets for the records. Not heard a thing since.

Won’t be using them again
Won’t be using them again. It’s been over 5 weeks now since my claim was filed with all the required information. They confirmed on the phone that they had received everything they needed from our vet including all the medical history, but have had zero communication from them. It would be good if they gave a rough eta for when the claim will be processed, but you get nothing.

Have waited weeks for my claim
Have waited weeks for my claim, and still waiting. Been told paperwork or emails haven’t been received, despite previous confirmation they had. Raised a complaint and was told my claim would be dealt with in 4 week, (this was already 6 weeks in) and I would receive £50 good will gesture. I have not received this. I called last week to check the progress of my claim, as almost at the 4 week mark. Was advised that they could not give me a timeframe due to a backlog their end. Not good enough. It is Christmas and I am waiting for a claim that is almost the equivalent of one monthly wage. Swinton do not seem to care about the impact of this, or that it was money directly from my pocket. Been a really stressful process, on top of the distress situation of your pet being unwell. Please avoid, just dreadful. Now to top it all off, being targeted for marketing to switch my home and car insurance to swinton- no chance in hell!

Terrible to deal with
I have now had to make 4 claims. Each time there has been a "mistake" with the claim. i.e. the old policy number was used (they give you a new policy number every year). They state it should take 4 weeks for a resolution. All 4 of my claims have taken twice that amount of time and countless calls to them to get it sorted. I have dealt with a stream of people who just apologise, but don't end up fixing it. Or they just leave me on hold. I have put in several days work just trying to get what is owed to me. AVOID this company at all cost!!!!

Disappointed
Please, please don’t insure your pets with Swindon. It is the worst company that I have ever insured my pets with. We have an ongoing claim that is taking weeks and should be straightforward. What is usually a stressful time when needing to make a claim, it is only heightened by the lack of care and support of this company.

Awful
Awful - really wish I hadn't bought my cover with Swinton.
They do not process pre authorisation forms - I'm faced with a £2000+ procedure that they will not state they will cover.
All they say is it "might be covered" what help is that?
Please pick a better company- DO NOT risk using this one.
Although the customer service agent I spoke to was very lovely!

So far not great service
So far not great service. As of all insurance companies they are more than happy to take your money. But unfortunately getting a claim paid is taking a very long time. Emails have been unanswered. I have called and have just been told my claim is pending. I won't be renewing with Swinton when my renewal is due as they don't fulfill their contract unfortunately I think I may have to contact the ombudsman to get my claim paid up.
My claim went in and was received on the 8th October.
