Cancelled my policy with no warning and is now chasing me for a payment to reinstate it when they cancelled it

Hi Louise,  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. You should’ve received a few notifications in advance of the cancellation explaining why your policy was cancelled, including the date we’d cancel it from.  If you're still unsure about why this was done or need to discuss this further, please call the team on 0333 321 9801 so they can take a look at this for you. ~Theo, Social Media Team

Been with them for 5 years, suddenly they “can’t” renew my insurance but will not tell me why. “It’s not on the system” there’s no explanation whatsoever why they can’t renew. Changed my car last month and they asked for an additional £45 to cover the last 2 months, I paid it with no problem. But now they can’t renew me, quick to take £45 but can’t renew. Why didn’t they tell me 1 month ago we can’t do it? Weird. Had no convictions, no accidents etc but still can’t give me an explanation. I go on comparisons sites and they are happy to offer new a new policy but again can’t renew my current one. Loyalty means nothing these days, all a scam.

Hi Carolina,  Thanks for your review, we’re really sorry we couldn't offer you a renewal quote. We consider all your policy details when working out a price and on this occasion we’re unable to offer you one. Also, this doesn’t mean you’ve been refused insurance, so when you shop around, make sure you answer ‘No’ to that question.   We hope we can offer you a price in the future.  ~Theo, Social Media Team

I love the Hastings App it's just a shame I had to leave Hastings premier to go go to Hastings Direct to get a better price. Bonkers!

Hello Louise, Thank you for your review, I'm sorry that the price wasn't competitive on your original policy. Hastings Premier is a higher level of cover than the Hastings Direct policy so the price can be higher at times on the former level of cover. Thank you for insuring with us this year despite having the experience you did. ~Theo, Social Media Team

You cancelled my insurance after 1 week. You informed me my score was low. I got the score up to 30 but you still cancelled. You are convinced I am using my phone while driving. I am using it for sat nav only. The telematics is through my phone and you think when I am taking a call while driving I am holding the phone which I am not. It is through blue tooth. I feel I haven’t been given a chance to show I am a good driver and I can’t convince you I am not using my phone other than for sat nav. As soon as I received my first low score immediately addressed all the areas that were coming up as issues but the phone use was consistently low and I am baffled by the fact that you still think I am using my phone. I have got my score up to 30 on the day it was cancelled. I rang to try and explain the situation but was told the insurance is being cancelled. I feel you have given me absolutely no chance of proving what a good driver I am.
