I purchased my new policy through money supermarket and I wasn't at all surprised that Hastings Direct came up as the cheapest yearly policy. The policy even included all the extras that you usually need to add onto your policy so I was more than happy to proceed with it.

Utterly uncommercial. One day late to install the tab in our car (we were away) and no leeway given at all - policy cancelled and we were told to go elsewhere. Ridiculous.

Hello, Thanks for your review, we’re sorry you’re unhappy with the cancellation of the YouDrive policy.  A YouDrive policy is slightly different to a standard car insurance product, and we appreciate that it’s not for everyone. We make sure our terms and conditions are clearly stated before you buy a policy online. This includes the need to share your driving data with us through the app by driving the vehicle. If the app cannot be paired to the box within the required time frame, the Telematics team will need to be informed by the policyholder before the period begins and before the policy is cancelled. 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. ~Theo, Social Media Team

I have used Hastings for car insurance but didn’t realise they offer home insurance and when comparing companies offering home insurance I opted for Hastings as their proved are extremely competitive and the policy itself is well written making it clear that the home cover you select covers all your needs

Do not touch Hastings Direct with a barge pole. Awful customer service, on hold for 20 minutes every time you want to speak to them. App very unreliable. Problem with my ‘black box’ connection and the policy cancelled suddenly with virtually no warning. No compassion, humanity, reasonableness. It really makes you feel so crushed dealing with faceless companies like this, if they come out cheapest, it’s for a reason. AVOID.

Hello, Thanks for your review, we’re very sorry to see that the policy has been cancelled and that you had such a poor experience. We normally cancel a policy when the conditions of your insurance haven’t been met. You should’ve received a few notifications explaining why your policy was cancelled, including the date we’d cancel it from.  We regret that these weren't seen. I appreciate the frustration that this couldn't be reinstated and I hope you are able to find suitable cover for your vehicle soon. ~Theo, Social Media Team

I found them very professional, understand your need and insurance quote accordingly. The driving skill device is very easy to set up. Overall satisfaction is excellent.

I have previously used Hastings for my car insurance and can't fault it. I have been unable to drive for a while but now I have a car on the road again. I know I have a good insurance policy with lovely staff, and my claims were all dealt with very professionally, so I will continue to use Hastings.
