“So i got into an accident (wheel arch and bumper passenger side damage), they put me through to a garage to fix my car which they did. After a couple days, my bumper showed a gap between the headlight and bumper and i can clearly see the bumper clips not attached so i contact hastings and them and the garage decide its due to “pre existing damage” now my car had previous damage but the damage is literally on the other side of the car! (Driver side).
A few days go by my bumper starts to fully stick out from the side, and i found bolts in the footwell in the car and i saw where they should go and its empty so its not like they replaced the bolts for new ones they just didn’t put them back, and my car starts to pull to the left when driving because they changed one of my tires without changing the other one or even balancing them.
I immediately contact hastings again and they kept “writing notes on file” and that a case handler will get in touch by the end of the week, friday comes along and i hear from no one so i call again and i had to explain everything from scratch because when they read the notes back to me none of it was accurate, and the person said the case handler will be assigned by the end of next week and i should call if i dont get one because i should definitely be assigned one.
Of course no case handler assigned until after that week, now this person “Tommaso” rung me but he intentionally hung up, i picked up my phone to answer 2 seconds after it started ringing and he hung up and followed with an email introducing himself and saying “i have it here saying that your repairs were incomplete”. Interesting way to phrase poor repairs….
Of course i called back immediately after he hung up on me and asked to speak to him but they said “hes on a call” so i ask for him to call back. 2 days later, nothing from him so i call again and they tell me “hes on a call” so i ask for him to call again but he doesn’t call. So i called again after 2 days and they told me that he is off work.
Immediately after the second attempt where i mentioned that i will be going to the financial ombudsman the garage called me to say “bring your car for inspection”. Bear in mind i have a case handler who is refusing to speak to me and a garage that i do not trust and caused me distress so i refused to bring it to them before speaking to mr Tommaso who isnt calling me as my CASE HANDLER.
These people constantly tell me they are writing notes, missing key details of my case, and not acting on any of my concerns, before even letting the repairs happen i brought up that the garage has bad reviews and i dont trust them and they never listened to me, and i also requested they physically inspect my car multiple times before they repair it but they just did it based on pictures.
Absolutely zero customer service or car, i have a big ACCA paper to study for while juggling work commitments so i am incredibly stressed and hastings has only made it worse for me.
I hope my experience helps others, a key part of insurance companies is the people who speak to customers because your whole case might go the complete opposite of what it should be if they do it wrong and this is what is happening with me because of their poor customer service.”

“Terrible telematics box tells the app I'm using my phone 5 times during a ten mile trip, when I will not even touch my phone whilst driving. Reduced my score from 100 to 25.ill carry on using it for the next week, if it does it again I'll be cancelling and go with someone else. Also the app is power intensive and needs access to all kinds of permissions on the phone such as your pictures and memory card etc. Why oh why does it need these permissions, is it to make out you are taking photos whilst driving. It has also not recorded several trips now. What is the point😡😡😡”
Hello Ian,
Thank you for your review, I'm sorry to read about this. Just a reminder that using Bluetooth controls to control the phone while driving can negatively impact the driving score. Also please do not give the paired phone to passengers as the app doesn't recognise different users, it just tracks movement.
The app is designed to use as little power and data as possible. So it shouldn’t make a big impact on your battery’s life. If you believe the app is having a big impact on your battery, please call our YouDrive team on 0333 321 9801. ~Theo, Social Media Team
