Policy purchase easy, signing in to My Account is frustrating. I'm on my 5th reset password attempt.

Difficult to get through on the telephone. Sometimes after finally getting the department I needed I got a message saying you were too busy and you ended the call.

I did find little stressful but it may just be me because I don't like using online purchase for anything but otherwise it was good.

Creating a basic policy was relatively straight forward but I needed to create another new policy as opposed to add a new vehicle to my account. The process did not allow Multi-car.

I accepted hastings direct as the most reasonable quote to suit my needs, the online process was quite simple, and with the deposit paid and payment set up things seemed to be fine, this was about 2 weeks ago, however, since then I have found that my documents do not seem to be accessible either to view or download?

If the app was made a little better (it keeps logging me out every single time and then not loading so I have to completely exit and redo that whole process), then id rate the app 5/5

They are fine. I like the app they have. Took out a guarantee car with my my insurance and got an email saying they wrongly saying that the insurance provider was the wrong and told me the correct one that was 4 to 5 month later obviously they don’t check your insurance properly before issuing it to use

Had to purchase through comparethemarket.com as renewal price was cheaper than renewing with Hastings. This didn't make sense to me but at least i got the benefits of going through the comparethemarket.com and will do so in the future it seems that loyalty isn't worth anything these days
