Dutch multinational life insurance, pensions, and asset management company serving millions of customers worldwide.
Aegon provides standard insurance products at standard prices. Nothing bad to say but nothing remarkable either. The website works, the documents arrive on time, and the policy does what it says. If you're just looking for basic, no-fuss insurance, they're fine.
Pros: Straightforward, reliable basics
Cons: Nothing distinguishes them from competitors
My initial quote from Aegon was very competitive. However, the renewal price was 30% higher with no claims made. Had to phone and negotiate to get a reasonable price. The policy itself is fine but the practice of inflating renewal prices is frustrating and feels dishonest.
Pros: Good initial pricing, adequate coverage
Cons: Renewal price inflation, need to negotiate annually
Insured with Aegon for five years across motor and home policies. Premiums have been reasonable, and the one claim I made was handled professionally. The online quote system is straightforward and the documentation is clear. Auto-renewal means I never worry about gaps in coverage.
Pros: Fair pricing, professional claims handling, clear docs
Cons: Auto-renewal price can creep up if you don't check
I never thought I'd be enthusiastic about an insurance company but Aegon exceeded all expectations. When I needed to make a claim after a burglary, the process was smooth, the assessor was fair, and the payout was processed within 10 days. Communication throughout was excellent. That's exactly what you pay insurance for.
Pros: Fast claims processing, fair assessment, great communication
Cons: Premium is slightly above average
I compared dozens of quotes and Aegon offered the best balance of coverage and price. The policy wording is clear about what's included and excluded, which I appreciate. Haven't had to claim yet but the reviews from others who have give me confidence. Easy to recommend.
Pros: Competitive pricing, clear policy wording, good coverage
Cons: Haven't tested claims process yet
