“Their service was very friendly, to the point and very clear. I saved about ?500 on my insurance and they communicated this to me in very good time before my renewal, with no strings attached. Brilliant.”

“I renewed my insurance with Hastings smart miles, the price of renewal was better than expected, I was able to easily switch my payments to months instalments, add on an extra and I was able to find out any information I needed when phoning the customer services.”

“Great customer service”

“Please please please do not be fooled into taken insurance with this company , it is impossible to drive in the manner they expect to keep your score above 40 . There telematics boxes are flawed and I am in the process of registering a complaint with the insurance ombudsman. You will get very little if no help from there patronising customer service staff who just repeat its the way you drive. You have been warned .”

“I have been using the company for 3 months now, and the braking and the acceleration don't even pick up have done 2000 miles and still doesn't work have called lots of times but they say it's the way I'm driving but if I was that bad I would have crashed by now my insurance is through the roof but now when I do quotes on their website i can't even get a quote leaving as soon as I can not happy at all and am cancelling asap”

“Website is terrible, Couldn't sign into my account, when I tried to sign up it said an account was already registered with this information and when I tried to reset the password it said the account did not exist. In addition when I changed car midway through the year they charged me much more than another insurance company would as they knew they could otherwise I would not get my 1 years NCB.”

“The smart miles box is the worst thing I have ever done.. I don't drive silly and the points you have deducted from the system go on ridiculous things such as acceleration and braking so if you brake to harsh (in their eyes) you have points deducted! Unless you drive ridiculously carefully then the box will be the Bain of your life as it takes points from you so often and is really difficult to regain again! There are too many sections where they can deduct your points from personally if I was ever to get another box I would find an insurance company that only went on the speed and not braking, acceleration, time of day etc”
