You as a Customer

As a customer of ours, you may have purchased an insurance policy using one of two routes, either directly from us via our contact centre (“Mutual Direct”) or through one of our local agencies who are our authorised representatives permitted to sell our products and services (each a “Local Agency”). As the owners of this Website we (and not your Local Agency) are responsible to you for the operation of the Website. If you have any queries about the content on the Website or any digital related issues such as access to the Online Account registration, or password resets please contact our Digital Support Team on 0808 258 6007.

If you have a query in relation to your policy, you will be asked to follow a different contact route depending on whether you purchased your policy through Mutual Direct or through a Local Agency. See How to contact us section below.  

How to contact us

Insurance Policies purchased via Mutual Direct

If you have a query about your policy and your policy was purchased directly from us via Mutual Direct, then please get in touch by calling 0800 072 5569.

Insurance Policies purchased via a local agency  

If you have a query about your policy and you purchased your policy through a Local Agency, please contact your local agency directly whose contact details can be found here: find your local agency office

Please note that when you use the Online Account, you will automatically be presented with the contact details for where you bought your policy and where your policy is managed (either your Local Agency or Mutual Direct). Therefore, if you have a query relating to your policy while using the Online Account, you will be able to easily find the contact details for where you bought your policy, so that you can get in touch.
