I chose Plug Insure as I had an electric car and they are specialists in electric car insurance. They changed my insurance when I changed to a newer car and made the process straightforward and pleasant.

I purchased a Renault Zoe for my work commute in 2017. I have been with Pluginsure ever since. I shop around annually but every year I get an equally good deal from these good folk, with reliable underwriters like Zurich. Better still they talk you through it. Reliable, professional, responsive.

Cannot fault Pluginsure. They were very helpful on the phone, gave me great advice and best of all, beat the competition on price by a mile! Would recommend to anyone with an EV. Cheers again!
