Reviews should be given on the back of a good or bad service. Not if you got a cheaper quote! This company is run by a bunch of fraudsters. My claim was refused for accidental TV damage because by removing fluff from corner of the TV I was essentially cleaning the TV! Cleaning is not covered under accidental damage. So just lie chaps at how you accidentally damaged something as these FRAUSTERS do not value honest customers.

NEVER use Hastings Direct Insurance. Cheap and nasty ! Terrible service and just pass you onto Enterprise third party who are totally inefficient . They offer you a hire car at no charge as accident not your fault . Now still being hounded by their Third Party Company to fill in paperwork and supply more details about a no fault accident after 4 months as they cannot recover the full cost of the ! Threaten if you don’t comply you will need to pay yourself ! Ask for your financial income and details for them to recover the costs ! Hastings do not help at all and say this is just their policy ! I had legal cover and had secured my no claim. No having to probably I needed the hire car while my car was being repaired AND who I can’t find myself !

Hi Vincent,  Thanks for your review, we’re sorry to hear you’re unhappy with the price of your renewal and we’d love for you to stay with us.   It might be that the quote you’ve found with someone else is cheaper because the details are different or it’s for a different product or lower level of cover. We always try to make sure your renewal price is competitive based on details we hold about you, so if those have changed, please review your policy in the Hastings Direct app.  I'm glad you were able to find competitive co er for your vehicle and thank you for having been insured with Hastings Direct over the past year. ~Theo, Social Media Team

I would give a rating of -5* if that was possible! I had a non-fault accident (third party hit me from the back) on 16 October 2024. I was told at roadside when I reported the accident that that accident was a non-fault accident. Because of this I was not charged my policy excess, I was allowed to cancel my policy instead of continuing to make my monthly repayments which is what normally happens where there is a question over liability and I was honoured my no claims bonus. At the point of cancelling I had overpaid £231.24 which I was told would be refunded to me and I received written confirmation of this on 25 October but the refund was not forthcoming. I spent hours on the phone chasing this with speaking with different so called customer advisors and team leaders all of whom confirmed the overpayment but that in order to get the refund I would have to go through their complaints procedure, as if the hassle endured to this point was not enough. I followed up again on 27 December 2024 and asked to speak to manager for clarity on the situation and I was advised that manager would call me back, normally within 48hrs but since is Christmas and new year, the call may take a little longer. To date (19 January) I have yet to receive the refund, a call to explain this NONESENSE or any communication at all! It is accepted that the accident was non-fault and as a result:- Policy was cancelled without having to continue making monthly payments which apparently is what normally happens while liability is established. No excess charged and no claims bonus honoured; £231. 24 confirmed on calls and by letter on at least 2 occasions and despite hours of calls chasing this up there is still no sign of a refund or any communication. It’s incredibly telling when everyone accepts and agrees that the overpayment should have been refunded but they encourage you to make a formal complaint in order to stand any chance of getting the refund!!! This suggests that my situation is not a one off, but rather it is standard practice! Manager - whoever you are, can you call to explain when I might expect my money which you are holding onto without reason or explanation!! THIS IS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY AT ITS FINEST!!!! PS. This is just the icing on this rather horrible Cake! I would need to write a book and publish it in several volumes to comment on the dreadful experience during the lifespan of my policy!

Supreme Asset was incredible in helping me reclaim my $203,000 investment from a scam platform. Their professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the process, providing clear guidance and regular updates. They worked tirelessly to ensure a successful recovery, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their help. I highly recommend them to anyone facing a similar situation.

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
