I called and got through to a person and it seemed like she couldn't grasp that I wanted to purchase insurance for my motorcycle after a few minutes I gave up,I was having trouble understanding her ,hung up! ,I called back again straight away and got through to yet another person and once again she didn't seem to know what she was doing so I hung up, I think I must have been feeling generous or in a particularly good mood because I called back again, thankfully I got through to someone who knew what she was doing, spoke clearly and with a friendly demeanor, after just a few minutes my insurance was arranged and she posted the paperwork out which I received in the next few days , please vet the people you employ to make sure they understand that they are there to deal with new customers and existing customers and are competent and don't keep going quiet on the phone!!

I had to change my multicar policy, to add my wife’s new car. My goodness, after 2 days of trying to speak to customer service we finally got through to a service agent, who appeared to eating her dinner at home. Between mouth full of food we struggled to understand what she was saying. She had a strong accent also and seemed unsure how to answer my request. After 20 minutes of questions and answers, we were informed that Hastings couldn’t cover my wife’s new car. Confused by the incident we were receiving, we had to cancel the policy on my wife’s old car and seek another policy with another company. My goodness what a very frustrating experience, I will never use Hastings again!

Chose the policy as it was the cheapest. But the telematics only monitors me (the 51yr old policy holder) not the 19yr old! Slightly daft.

Hello,  Thanks for your review, we’re sorry you’re unhappy with the terms of your YouDrive policy.  A YouDrive policy is slightly different to a standard car insurance product, and we appreciate that it’s not for everyone. We do ask that you read the terms before you buy the policy as it is clear what kind of policy it is and what is required from the policyholder. If you’d like to check out our other insurance options, head to our website or give us a call on 0333 321 9801. ~Theo, Social Media Team

Real people, real service. The employee who helped me explained everything, took time, good attitude, and is the reason I picked hastings over my current insurance provider.

My first time with Hastings Direct and so far I haven't been disappointed. What amazed me was the fact I could get my House and Contents Insurance for a lot less than with my usual broker. This year I saved £112.00 . I'm a Pensioner and full time carer for my wife who is 93 and has Altzheimers. So every bit I can save goes a long way. I would thoroughly recommend Hastings Direct.

Effortless switch. I have to say it was so easy and the options to really create the insurance policy you personally want.
