How to complain

The easiest way to complain is to simply pick up the phone and speak to Brightside, who handle our van insurance policies.

Depending on the nature of your complaint, get in touch on one of the telephone numbers below.

The person taking your call will try to resolve your complaint immediately. If they can't, or further investigation is required, Brightside will let you know within five business days.

If your complaint isn't resolved within four weeks, they'll write and let you know the reasons why and what further action they'll take.

Within eight weeks of receiving your complaint, Brightside will either issue you with a final response letter outlining the outcome of their investigation and their decision, or a letter confirming when they think the investigation will be completed.
