“Hastings Direct SmartMiles do not value their customers, they sell the black box as reducing your premium if your a safe driver, yet despite me having a good driver rating score and no insurance claims they more than doubled my insurance this year and refused to reduce this even though on comparison websites they showed a cheaper price! I will never use them again! Their sales agents were rude and the company does not value their customers!”

Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I'm sorry that you have ha such a bad experience using our SmartMiles insurance and have not received the renewal quote you were expecting. I also apologise that you feel you were mistreated by our staff and found them rude. I hope you have managed to find a policy that suits you and wish you the best with your new provider.~ Jamie

“By actually keeping me updated with my policy and updating the app so it?s more reliable, my braking score has been 0 ever since I?ve had the box and that?s regardless of my driving. Poor”

HI there,Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry that you have had issues with the scoring of the box throughout your policy. The box itself updates every 60-70 miles which we feel gives a good representation of your driving. Your box starts updating from the second it is installed and the keys put in the ignition so sometimes its easy to get off to a bad start and lose points on your braking and acceleration. The box generates data through G-force so it would seem that you are leaving your braking too late, hence the low score for this. We do have a dedicated team who would be more than happy to help you with any questions you have surrounding the box data. They can also give really handy hints and tips to improve. You can call the First Response Unit on 0800 048 2955.~ Jamie

“Couldn?t recommend this insurance company any higher. I have driven like an angel and have been hugely rewarded. My insurance cost is less than half of what it was last year, which is fantastic! Unbeatable price and unbeatable service”
