Finally managed to get the phone answered. New customer who attempted to buy policy online and found their website got stuck on the payment page. Waited 10 minutes to see if it would finally give proof of policy purchase, but in the end I had to call. Quite a long wait for an answer (working from home perhaps?) but finally managed to get through and made the payment on the phone as the website wasn't working. Later noticed an extra charge of £12.50 for using the telephone to make the payment! You couldn't make it up . . . just hoping that everything works from now on . . .

Hello, we’re sorry you’re unhappy you were charged a fee. We ask you to pay this contact centre fee when you buy a policy over the phone rather than online. It covers the costs of setting up your policy, including updating our systems, creating and sending documents and updating the Motor Insurance Database (this is the central record of all insured vehicles in the UK). We make all our fees clear before you buy a policy from us. They’re also clearly stated in our terms and conditions. We apologise if you weren’t aware of this. If you need any further help, please visit www.hastingsdirect.com/help. Thanks again, ~Theo. Customer Care

Very easy to set up even going through a comparison site .Excellent communication, however like all insurance companies you'll only find out how good they really are when you come to use them in a claim.

I looked on a few comparison sites for car insurance, and the best deal on what was included on the car insurance policy for a decent price came from Hastings Direct. Happy days!

Hello, Thanks for letting us know about this – and we’re sorry you’re unhappy we can’t offer you cover. To work out the price of our policies, we consider your: • Vehicle • Address • Drivers • Personal details. In this case, it seems we can’t offer cover based on a combination of the above. But we might still be able to insure you another way – to see if that’s possible, please call us on 0333 321 9790. Thanks ~ Vicky
