Victoria was very helpful taking time to explain the details of the policies and making every effort to find the best insurance for me. Would happily recommend.

Extremely satisfied with the help and advice from Drew, since the beginning him understood what I was looking for and had the patience to help me out with all my questions and doubts. Didn’t try to be pushy or annoying calling me all the time like so many did before. At the end we found the perfect medical policy for me and my daughter that covers everything that we need. I more than recommend them and if in the future I need something else for sure I will contact them again. Giving only 5 stars because I can’t give 6!!!!

Egle was brilliant in guiding us through the options available for relevant life insurance, took care of all the paperwork and presenting suitable options to us and deciphering all the jargon for us. Highly recommended!

I discovered Drewberry after a lot of personal research and using other comparison engines myself. I have probably spent nearly a day of work on comparing policies. I'm a pretty sophisticated internet user and usually get things done on my own. I am, however, delighted I eventually decided to find my health insurance through Drewberry - their advice was tailored and insightful. It took into account my personal needs and situation and helped me navigate the market on a level of detail that would have taken me days to achieve and probably still not as well. At no point did I feel my time was being wasted or anything was less than devoutly professional. A great service and highly recommended.

Drew was incredibly helpful all the way along and very responsive and patient with any questions I had (which were many). He was able to get me a much better deal on my new health insurance than I had been able to get online. A success all round!
