The company offers family-friendly insurance – for example, car cover includes counselling to cope with the aftermath of a road accident for any member of the family.
It aims to provide insurance at a low cost with great customer service through its call centres and live chat.

An excess is the amount that you are required to contribute towards a claim. There is a standard policy excess, plus you can choose the level of your voluntary excess (the higher it is, the lower your premiums are likely to be but you’ll have to pay more in the event of a claim).
The Sheilas’ Wheels policy booklet says an excess for subsidence or water escape claims may apply alongside the standard or voluntary excess.
More information can be found in your policy schedule.
Depending on your policy, there are dedicated phone lines for each one. Sheilas’ Wheels will confirm whether your policy covers for you for the incident. Ensure you have your policy details to hand when you call.
