About 1st Central
At 1st Central, we strive to make insurance simple and straightforward, so you can get on with what matters most. Our range of car and home insurance policies are helping over 1.4 million people save money, while providing outstanding customer service, and we’re continually growing.
We’re simply driven
We like to think we’re a bit different to other insurers, because we’re striving for simplicity in an industry that’s overrun with complexity and jargon. The concept of ‘simply driven’ is at the heart of everything we do, both internally and externally, helping you feel more at ease when purchasing your car and home insurance.
We’re competitive on price
Our Pricing team is made up of smart people who are constantly monitoring the market to make sure you get the best price possible for your car and home insurance. We’re hot on fraud too, by using the latest technology, we’re committed to reducing risk and tackling fraud, which helps keep our premiums lower.
We’re nice people
Our friendly customer support teams ensure our customers find us easy to deal with, making them feel valued and giving them peace of mind. We’ve listened to our customers and made it quick and simple to manage your car insurance policy online in Your Account, but if you do need to speak to us, we’re here to help.
Here to help when you need to make a claim
If you need to make a claim on your car or home insurance, we have dedicated claim handlers to guide you through your claim and ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
We partner with RAC Breakdown
If you rely on your car for work, the school run or just day-to-day needs, being without a car due to a breakdown can lead to chaos and leave you stranded. We offer various levels of RAC Breakdown Cover to suit your needs and get your car back up and running.
