“I have only been with WiseDriving for few weeks, today I have received an email advising me that I have an outstanding balance on my account due following my policy cancellation, I was shocked as I have never cancelled my policy as only just joined. Called their offices immediately to find out what’s going on, was informed that policy was cancelled due to not using my usb device and recording my driving, firstly I was mr we aware that this is compulsory equipment secondly I did use it and have records of it. I was very much absent about the whole situation as how can they just cancel my policy without any notification and let me drive around without valid insurance. Taken my money and now they want money for early termination fees etc disgusting and I am not going to leave this at this point!!!!! People stay away from this company it’s a scam”

Hi, We're sorry to hear your unhappy, as a telematics insurer the device is a compulsory part of the terms and conditions of the policy. If you would like to send us an email to reviews@wisedriving.com we can look into this for you. Thanks, Vicky.

“Totally disgusted with this Insurance. After taking a £230.00 deposit which Included £150 for black box my policy was cancelled after 4 days due to a discrepancy with the V5 you have advised that the black box is non refundable. The black box that was never fitted or even got an appointment to fit. Also I was advised there is no cooling off period. I was refunded £5.89.”

“If I could give no stars I would. this company is a complete scam, I have been with them for 5 months and I am a very careful driver which was rewarded in the first month with a discount. However each month after this my score has rapidly decreased even though I am still driving the same way I did in the first month. This has resulted in an increase in my payments taking the price much higher than the quote I was given at the beginning. I called them to discuss this and considered canceling however was informed that I would be charged a very unreasonable price of £75 to do so. Absolutely shocking and will defiantly not be renewing. AVOID this company.”

“AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HELP. First issue with them was I believed I had 2 years no claims when sending over my list of no claims I discovered I had an extra year no claims. When the price was recalculated my premium went up? And I was charged an admin fee!! Tried to send an email FIVE times discussing this with proof from my previous insurer and all 5 emails were ignored, even though they claim email is their first point of contact and main form of communication. SECOND AND MAIN ISSUE. I recieved a device to connect via and app to record my driving. When I received this device I was on holiday, when I returned on the 13th I had a letter stating if it wasn't connected by the 20th my insurance would be cancelled. By the 15th the device was connected and as far as I was aware was recording as the light was blue. Wise driving claim it wasn't working on their end, and I needed to phone them to confirm it was working. NO WHERE did it state this. I work away from home and I'm out the country weekly, so my cars parked up and not being driven a great deal of the time. So I hadn't taken the time to look into all my driving scores as it had been less then a month. On my first journey when I checked how the dash board works it told me I had only driven 80 miles and for accurate scores need to drive 200 miles. As far as I was aware the device was working and connected. On the 2nd of October I recieve an email saying my policy has been cancelled and I have been charged an extra £75 for this cancellation fee. I had no reminder or warning apart from the one email, which after this I connected my device!!! All was fine. I recieved one letter on the day my insurance was cancelled the 21st September stating it had been cancelled. Now as I said, email is the first form of communication with this company and I work abroad, so my post couldn't be opened for me to be aware. The team were less then helpful, with no resolution or answers as to why my numerous emails were ignored or why I only had the one email of notice, my insurance has been cancelled purely down to lack of communication and a potentially faulty device. But the insurance company are a scam and I wouldn't want to be insured by them now anyway, but the most frustrating thing is now I need to declare a cancelled policy. Meaning most companies won't touch me and my insurance has gone up by over £1000! I was insured with this company 10 days and they've taken my quotes up by a grand. Requested repeatedly to speak to a manager and was refused just put on hold. AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!!!! Not worth a single star”

“Worst insurance company I have ever dealt with! Customer service is awful! Lady told me to hold my documents until I got my black box installed because the man wouldn’t fit the black box without the log book. So then they said they needed a up to date address of my log book but gave me a deadline of the 1st of October, so this gave me a week to send if of and get it back with the updated address on which they knew wouldn’t happen! So they basically took £800 then gave me a ridiculous time frame then cancelled my policy. Wouldn’t recommend anyone to go with this company!”

“Complete scam artists. was quoted £115 a month for insurance and tried to drive as sensibly as possible, but my score was marked low every time. my premiums then tried to go up to £340 a MONTH so I cancelled my policy. I just got an email saying I now owe them £358 to cancel my policy even though the cancellation fee is only £75. Avoid this company at all costs. It cant be long until they are shut down as they constantly are ripping of customers. complete scam.”

“absoloute waste of time. Been on the phone everyday for over 2 weeks now trying to sort out a proof of 2 years no claims. when asked to speak to someone higher like a manager they refused. Caused a lot of stress and had to take time out of my working day to ring up. This issue isn't getting sorted and I'm in fear of my policy being cancelled even though I've done everything I can sending evidence.”

“Wisedriving is OK, however, their installers are the worst I've ever seen. They cancelled the first appointment for the installation on the due day, one hour before the arranged installation. Then they lied to Wisedriving that we were not available. Wisedriving applied £45 for cancellation I had to spend over an hour to get it right. On the second appointment, the installer came too early and straight away informed us, that if my daughter doesn't show up within 10 minutes he would be gone. Disgusting attitude.”

“Also their cancellation fee is £75 compared to an average of £45 with others. Their initial payment is £155 compared to £65 with others. Strategic legal scam.”

“AVOID this company at any cost. One they don't give you the standard cancellation time as required by the financial conduct authority. they only give you 24 hours unlike the industry standard of 14 days. Two, the black box need to be installed onto your car by removing the carpet and drilling (3 holes), which will have impact on the value of your car. They seem to be cheap but get the money out of you in many ways and trust me you will end up paying more than a higher quotes you may find elsewhere. this is the 21st century utilising gaps on the rules and weakness of consumers. They make money out of consumers misjudgement and mistake than giving service. Better to go to other professional and ethical companies than short term money grabbing opportunist companies like this one. AVOID. Also even though they don't give you time to cancel they take 14 days to refund your money.”

“Really bad insurance company, I've been with them for a year know, had an incident in my car THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT! My car was parked on a street near my work and a lorry hit it, I was in work at the time so no where near my car. It has come to renewal and they have held back my 1 years no claims. Mr premium has hardly changed and they are refusing to give me my NCD for 2 months in case the other driver claims for an injury? how can they claim if I was no where near the car?? It's his stupid fault! There's apparently no way around it and I've just got to wait for them to give me my NCD back! I'm a young driver so paying so much already, that NCD makes a big difference and helps a lot. I will be taking this complaint further as I feel like I am being penalised for something that's not my fault. I will be going to the financial ombudsman to see there views on the matter. I would appreciate it if someone can get back to me as soon as possible, I did try and call this morning to speak to the renewals team but was on hold for over 20 minutes to speak to someone! Terrible Service!”
