I found the staff very polite and informative when making amendments to my policy . The online app and telephone service i would rate as excellent and would recommend Hastings direct as a good company to deal with for car insurance and I'm sure other products they have are equally as good .

Went on to quote zone after a struggle of finding cheap Motorbike insurance, silly quotes of 600 or more for half bake policies, referred over to Hastings, unbeatable prices, fully comprehensive cover for £218. Great customer service a round.

The whole process from getting a quote to purchasing a policy was so simple even for a technophobe like myself everything was right there in front of me even the app is easy to navigate and track policy

I am livid, I have just had a call with an extremely rude and condescending man called Colin. I emailed in because I had a contractor out to remove the walls, remove the damp and start the drying process. There was black mould remaining when I returned to the property, some of the skirting had not been removed (wet skirting), only half the kitchen floor (report said all of it). Dust everywhere (I know that cant be helped but was loads in my beroom upstairs, yet not my sons (both on the same floor) and both had doors shut. Also the dehumidifier being used to dry the cupboard (the source of the damp/mould) is a fan. Whilst the man that attended the property was nice enough the man (Colin) was awful. All he had to fo was apologise and explain things step by step. He was defensive and didnt want to listen to me. I asked to log a complaint and a recording of the call but he said I had to go to Hastings Direct for that. I then said I didnt want BVS doing the restoration works based off of his attitude and he said “thats fine, we will collect the drying equipment and close your case”. I told him just how rude and unhelpful he was but he didnt care, saying “I dont have an attitude”. I will also not be renewing with Hastings if this is the sort of company they use. Absolutely shocking service.

We had an absolutely dreadful experience with Hastings Direct. A claim was deemed our fault without anyone from Hastings ever viewing images of our vehicle — which, by the way, had no damage at all. The other vehicle had significant damage, which made the whole thing scream “crash-for-cash”, yet Hastings didn’t even bother to investigate properly. We received no calls, no letters, and no emails from them throughout the process. We had to chase them every single week for months just to get basic updates. Eventually, we were told to submit photos of our undamaged car ourselves — only for Hastings to say their “IT system” had to verify the attachments as safe before the case handler (who we’ve never spoken to) could even view them. To make matters worse, we only found out the claim had been made and closed when my partner went to renew their car insurance! Hastings had made a decision, closed the case, and never once contacted us. When we challenged this, they admitted they couldn’t determine who was at fault — yet they still left the claim as our fault, even though they never viewed the evidence. We raised a formal complaint, but (surprise, surprise) no one ever called us back. They eventually closed the complaint, acknowledged that there had been failings, but refused to correct the record. They still haven’t viewed the images we sent and refused to tell us what the so-called “technician’s report” said — and they also refused to put anything in writing. In short: terrible communication, poor investigation, and zero accountability. They’ll happily mark a claim against you without doing their job. Avoid Hastings Direct completely.
