Hi, Our LiveChat team isn't available on the SmartMiles site yet - only our Hastings Direct products are available but we're working on it ~Joe?

“I bought a policy last year . Cheapest on the market as this was my first year driving. I had a black box fitted no problem. Renewal this year has now been halved! I have not had to make a claim so cannot comment on that side of things (thankfully) very happy with service so far . Thank you”

“The scoring system is very accurate and reasonable, however, the acceleration score is always at 0 and never improving no matter how smoothly i accelerate, consequently it brings my overall score down. Also a cerfew is understandable yet 10 is difficult to meet, 11 would be more appropriate.”

Hi, I'm glad you found the scoring to be going well - give us a call and we can give you tips on how the accelerometer data works. We can also check the data for you if you want as well ~Joe?

“They gave me a score of 0/100 straight away and blamed me for it, even though I am a very safe and slow driver. Told Me I had 200 miles to get this above 40 Or risk cancellation. Obviously this was impossible, they then said after that they would Give me 7 days to do It, by this time I was on 20/100, after 7 days of very safe and slow driving, I finished with 28/100 as they knew I would. They then cancelled the policy and charged me £50 Cancellation fee on top of the money £400 in the first month that they took. DO NOT TRUST THESE SCAMMERS”

“Generally very good BUT unless your battery has screw type terminals you will need to arrange for an engineer visit or ask your local mechanic to fit for you unless you are a car buff. More detailed instructions could help!!”

“Was very very disappointed with smart miles and would never recommend them. Went through the questionnaire on I phone as best that's possible using this method. Was accepted, then later told I was mot allowed insurance as I had withheld information. I offered to rectify the mistake but wasn't allowed to. Other insurance company's thought this very bad customer service. I am still waiting for my 'full amount' refund and am appalled to find I have to pay an opt out fee when this was no fault of my own. Disgraceful service!!!!!”

Hi, I'm sorry to hear we could not keep the cover running and appreciate your frustration. On occasion if there are key details missing it may meant a quote would not have been offered as the product isn't suitable and therefore we have no other option but to discontinue cover ~Joe?
