At one time Ladybird only offered cover to female drivers but was forced to change its strategy in 2012 following a ruling from the European Court of Justice that prohibited insurers from basing insurance premiums on gender. It subsequently started to offer insurance to both men and women, while increasingly focusing on products targeting higher risk segments, such as high-performance cars and young drivers.
The Financial Ombudsman Service received 17 motor insurance complaints about Fresh, owner of the Ladybird brand. To put that in context, 67 firms had 10 or more complaints each and those totalled 4,550 complaints. Nearly 200 firms had fewer than 10 each, sharing just 479 complaints between them.
