Scammed £250, forced to cancel
Helpful Report
Posted 8 years ago
A Scam to make money - Took out policy in February 2017 and have today (26 July) had notice that they are cancelling the policy - the car has hardly been used as I am currently off work - disgusting. Rude people on the phone. I have been a driver for 20 years - no penalties and how they can justify this I don't know - policy was taken for my son. Worst ever insurance I have seen in my life

May be cheaper insurance but costs extra to change the box if you change vehicle and don't think the black box worked that well, restrictive when you can drive as heavily penalised if you drive after 10.00 pm. Would not recommend

Unjustified bad score. These people are making money from cancelling policies. They charged me £448 for being insured for a month and a half, after I was forced to cancel it. Very sneaky, slimy company. Do not get insured with these people.

Don't make the mistake I made and buy out insurance from Hastings before reading the reviews, they are shocking and rob you off, take your money and a few months down the line cancel for minor faults, breaking sharp because someone pulls out infront of you and driving late at night if you work late hours then this policy also isn't for you, ridiculous and day light robbery!

I think that they should increase the score just as much as the decrease the score! For example when I went out past 10 they took my score down a lot but when I stayed in it took ages to go up!

Would 100% recommend this insurance company. Reliable and affordable. Customer service is absolutely second to none! A slight wait on hold waiting for an advisor but every single time had my queries resolved and they're so understanding! Making adaptations to my black box for my job! The black box isn't as restrictive as you think either!

I have rung a couple of times in the past few weeks to get some questions answered and To change some insurance details and the help down the phone was amazing. The app is also a great way for me to track my miles and my driving. Renewal price was also a lot better than I expected, which was fantastic

I called Hastings directly to pay for my insurance. The person who answered my call was very understanding and friendly and helped me with my query.

Very happy with everything especially for it being my first time having insurance with a car. I was very nervous at first and didn't know where to go, but I was happy with my results. Cheap prices and the policy is amazing!
