What customers say
Based on genuine customer reviews
Optimus 1 Insurance Brokers' reviewers describe long-standing relationships, in one case spanning more than twenty years, with the agency managing renewals over that time. Ben is named for explaining options in an easy-to-understand way and working through issues that arose when a client moved house. Reviewers describe the team as attentive to individual circumstances rather than applying a single standard approach. One long-term client, a mobile car cleaning business owner, describes returning to the agency as a repeat customer.
