The questions asked were answered with clarification and quickly. The only pint I was not happy with was they took payment 16 days before the start of the policy .

Absolutely rubbish just try to email them , no chance premium numbers to try and ring them and I was overcharged they said I had a claim that was my fault I was in bed asleep when someone damages my car when parking the year before and provided it to them I was not at fault but they were not interested then offered me a renewal for £950 , so got insurance else where for £280 with 5 similar quotes . Jokers. Never again.

Hello Kane, Thank you for your review, I'm sorry to read about the experience you had during the claim and that we were unable to offer you a competitive renewal. I'm afraid that in the case where a third party cannot be found to recompense costs, a claim is often recognised as a 'a fault claim' Is is an industry wide practice, rather than one just in place with us. Unfortunately, this can impact the cost of you policy and I regret that this is the case on this occasion. I'm glad you were able to find competitive cover in the end and thank you for having been insured with Hastings Direct. ~Theo, Social Media Team

Hi Sally, Thanks for your review, we’re sorry to hear you’re unhappy about our fees. We appreciate no one wants to be charged fees but, like most other insurers, these cover some of our business costs - like the costs of staffing our contact centres, managing your policy, creating and sending documents and maintaining and developing our systems. We try to keep these in line with everyone else and make it as clear as possible how much these fees are and that they’re non-refundable. ~Theo, Social Media Team

Good value but as I have only just taken out the policy I cannot comment on Hastings performance if I needed to make a claim. Ask me again next January.

I bought a motor policy and home & contents policy with the understanding that I got 10% discount for buying both policies, I spoke to an agent on Saturday and because he couldn't sort the discount out we agreed to complete the policy on the Monday but on Monday I was told that the policy had gone up and I actually had 19p taken off the policy even though the policy wasn't due to start until 18th of January. I feel that I was conned by Hastings and will be unlikely to renew the policies next year.

Don't post your documents and direct you to an app that doesn't show your new policy.

Hello Martyn, Thank you for your review. Looking at the policy, I can see that the delivery method for your documents is set to 'email' in line with what was chosen when the policy was purchased. If you would like these documents to be posted, please contact us by calling 0333 321 9801 and requesting a copy in the post or for the delivery method to be changed. The team will be happy to help you with this. ~Theo, Social Media Team
