I was in a really stressful and complicated situation with a car that was impounded by the Police- I was on my final day of loosing a 40K car and the lovely ladies at UKsure saved the day! It was a little long winded but that was due to complications on my side- banned driver/nomination of one driver etc, but whilst they were completing application and sourcing me the best quote they were updating me on WhatsApp. And eventually got a really good price Definately would recommend!!
