All 9 Insurance Survey Questions
Nine questions covering the full policyholder experience, from the moment they first tried to understand their policy through to their most recent renewal. The most important thing to understand about insurance satisfaction is that it splits into two very different customer groups: those who have claimed and those who haven't. The claims experience questions (Q2, Q3, Q4) are far more impactful for customers who have been through a claim. For everyone else, clarity and value are what matter most.
📋 FCA Consumer Duty: This survey covers dimensions relevant to the four good outcome areas: products and services (Q1), price and value (Q5), consumer understanding (Q1, Q3), and consumer support (Q2, Q4, Q6). Consult your compliance team for specific reporting requirements under your regulatory obligations.

Claims vs Non-Claims Customers
Two Very Different Satisfaction Drivers
The same survey works for both groups, but the dimensions that matter most are different. Knowing which questions to focus on when you review results helps you take the right action for each customer type.
Claims customers
📞 Q3: Communication during claim
⚡ Q4: Speed of resolution
✅ Q2: Overall claims quality
NPS is largely driven by the claims experience
Non-claims customers
📋 Q1: Policy clarity
💰 Q5: Value for money
🔄 Q6: Renewal ease
Low Q5 + Q6 predicts policy lapse at renewal

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this insurance customer satisfaction survey template free?
Yes. Free forever with no signup. Up to 100 responses free. Pro ($19/month) allows 10,000 responses and analytics across products, regions, and time periods.
When should insurance providers send this survey?
At renewal time: the most commercially critical moment. After a claim is resolved: the most emotionally significant interaction. After any major customer service contact involving a policy change or complaint. Avoid sending during an active claim. At policy anniversary for longer-term products like life or income protection.
What is the most important question for insurance customers?
It depends on whether the customer has claimed. For non-claimants, policy clarity (Q1) and value for money (Q5) determine renewal intent. For claimants, claims experience (Q2) and claims communication (Q3) are dominant: a poor claims experience is the single biggest driver of insurance churn and negative word of mouth.
Can I use this for both claims and non-claims customers?
Yes. Consider running two slightly different versions: one for customers who have made a claim in the past 12 months and one for those who haven't. The claims questions (Q2, Q3, Q4) are most relevant for claimants. For non-claimants, policy clarity and renewal ease are the primary satisfaction drivers.
How does this survey relate to FCA Consumer Duty?
The FCA Consumer Duty requires firms to demonstrate good outcomes across four areas: products and services, price and value, consumer understanding, and consumer support. This survey covers all four. Consult your compliance team for specific reporting requirements.
Can this survey be used for insurance brokers?
Yes. For brokers, adjust Q2 to Q4 to cover how the broker supported the customer through the claims process with the insurer. The policy clarity and renewal ease questions are equally relevant. NPS for a broker measures whether customers would recommend using this broker, not the underlying product.
Should insurance surveys be anonymous?
For general satisfaction data, anonymous surveys produce more candid feedback. For post-claims surveys where you want to follow up with dissatisfied customers or resolve outstanding issues, non-anonymous mode allows optional contact collection. Never link negative responses to individual claims records without appropriate data governance and customer consent.
How do I use this data to reduce policy lapses at renewal?
Policy lapses at renewal are most strongly predicted by low value for money (Q5) and low renewal ease (Q6). Customers who feel their premium is unfair or find renewal cumbersome are your highest lapse risk. Identifying these customers 60 days before renewal gives your retention team time to intervene with a tailored offer or a simpler renewal process.
