Trustpilot customer reviews

I've been using Rentguard for over a decade. They are always helpful. Their reminders always arrive in plenty of time. On the phone, their agents are always helpful & positive, and know their products and suppliers well. Over the years, each one has been able to find lower priced deals, whilst still maintaining the required levels of coverage.

Rentguard are so quick and efficient when I am using their online quoting system. If the online system cannot quote I will be called promptly and the member of staff will check if any insurers are able to quote.
