Very unhelpful customer service. I phoned to cancel my policy within the first 14 days and was told that I would not have the ?210 telematics fee refunded since it had been fitted to the car!

Everything was smooth and easy, and Hastings gave me the best quote two years running (the second year perhaps rewarding customer loyalty). Application process was straightforward. I've no complaints.

absolute joke of a company, will scam you and give you box that ensures scores will only creep up. will then send you warnings telling you to improve then once you cannot improve due to the box being faulty and the whole thing being a scam itself, they will cancel. go out a minute past 10 at night you will be penalized and score will drop, breaking score will never move off 0. Apparently every time i break i slam? LOL FUCKING SCAM, Stay clear and pay that bit more at the start for a better company, if u go with Hastings smart miles you will regret it.

Can't stand that I've had my licence for over 3 years and 2 years no claims and that my insurance is still expensive. I will never rate more than 1 star for the price I have to pay

I have called up numerous times to organise this, each time sent to a different number, each time I was on hold for a long time, until I eventually gave up, and a few times the call just ended, and I was cut off. And I was told I could only book a 5 hour window. I work shifts at a hospital, and so this was almost impossible for me to fit around work.

Hi, Thanks for the review, your issue might be resolved by doublechecking that you have login details for both the app and the online account as they are different ~Joe?

Charged a different price from the quote as I wanted the policy to start the same day. Rip off Britain at it's best!!!!! Easy money for the rip off insurance companies.
