Our complaints handling procedure

At Holiday Extras Car Insurance we try our best to resolve every complaint to the highest standard. However, should you still have concerns you may be entitled to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Please address your complaint in writing to:
The Financial Ombudsman Service
Exchange Tower

We are also required to inform you that you can use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform to provide details of your complaint, if you purchased your policy online.
