Hello,  Thanks for your review, we’re sorry you’re unhappy your policy was cancelled.   We normally cancel a policy when the conditions of your insurance haven’t been met. Documents and emails would have been sent days in advance of the cancellation explaining why the policy was being cancelled and when this would be done. I regret if these weren't seen and that it led to the cancellation of the policy. I appreciate the frustration that this couldn't be reinstated and I hope you are able to find suitable cover for your vehicle soon. If you think this was incorrectly done and you would like to make a complaint, please visit www.hastingsdirect.com/about-us/customer-complaints or call us on 0333 999 8904. When we’ve logged your complaint, we’ll get back to you within five working days. You can find further information about this process here: www.hastingsdirect.com/help. ~Theo, Social Media Team

Helo,  Thanks for your review, we’re sorry you’re unhappy with the terms of your YouDrive policy and that we couldn't offer you a more competitive price.  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. 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

Good insurance quote (cheap for first time driver) however the black box means I just accelerate slowly onto fast busy roads which is dangerous.

Hello Harry, I'm sorry to see that you've not having the best experience with the telematics policy. The Telematics team does take into account that you will have to adapt to the road ahead and that this, as well as other road users can cause you to take actions that may impact your score. As a result they acknowledge that your driving score won't always be at 100. For the sake of the policy, it just needs to be above 30. If you have any questions or concerns, please call our YouDrive team on 0333 321 9801. ~Theo, Social Media Team

From start to finish the member of staff was brilliant. Like most my age I have little clue when it comes to using internal. They was very patient with me. Even when he had to go over what I had to do about 4 time. We got there in the end even ended up laughing 😃 with each other. So yes I would highly recommend you to family and friends

have had a Hastings "You Drive" Tab for a few days now and all i can say is its rubbish. my father has installed a calibrated accelerometer in to my vehicle to check the driving score accuracy and on a journey where i was deducted driving score points for harsh acceleration and braking the sensor my dad installed did not read above 0.3g. He has raised this as a complaint with the technical department and is currently awaiting feedback.
