awful awful company !!! if i could give this 0 stars i would. they increased my premium due to bad driving behaviour when all of my stats were excellent/good except my acceleration! One employee said that i should email a picture of my black box as he thinks there was a problem with it. He said it would take up to 3 days- this was early february !!!!!!!! it’s almost been a month and i haven’t heard a straight answer !!! all the employees don’t know what they’re talking about- i’ve had different excuses from each of them. They are cancelling my insurance because of this. Absolute joke of a company- if you could even call it that. I still haven’t got answers as they don’t answer their emails or their phone.DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! I’m not the only one that has had this issue according to previous reviews.

Hello, We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the service you have received. We can take a look into this for you, if you can email your information to us? In the meantime, we measure your braking in the same way we measure your acceleration. Gradual and steady is the aim. Any abrupt or harsh braking will effect the score. Many thanks, Holly

What went wrong; Persistent issue with inaccurate data for acceleration score yet Wise Driving insist there's nothing wrong with the box (how can they tell this by a photo that was emailed.to them I'll never know)!! Data request made (company who manage the data are a subsidiary of Wise Driving ao won't hold my breath for a response).... Can't get a straight/definitive answer from any advisers (I don't know if this is due to lack of adequate training &/or the employees just can't be a*sed).... Due to this ongoing issue they want to charge Me an extra £177, even d*ck turpin wore a mask!! They say its due to poor acceleration, I think not!! They have admitted there's a data error so are using an average to work out my score for acceleration, how the fluff is that accurate when they're openly admitting that there's error's/issue's with the data!!

Awful customer service. I’ve had a black box policy for 2 weeks and all my scores are excellent (100% or minimum 90%) but the acceleration varies between 0% (very poor) and 25% poor. At the start it was good but now is at the lowest point it can be. I have not changed the way I drive. I am a 42 year old mother, usually travelling with my child in the car so am super careful. I don’t speed (my speed score is 100%) so how can my acceleration be so poor? I think the box is faulty, no matter how I drive (I’ve experimented accelerating fast and accelerating gently and acceleration super slowly and the score does not really improve). I think this is a way to get money out of me by increasing my monthly premiums. I’m so annoyed with this company as no one answers the phone or replies to any live chats or emails. Seems I’m not the only person who has experienced the same issue with the same company. AVOID!

I bought cover with them in April, I was halfway through the year. My premium increased by £26 and I had a week to pay. They don’t answer on Sundays, so I had 5 days to pay. No call, or anything, and holding on call takes hours. Cancelled my insurance on the last day without another word.

It was not clear this insurance is with black box and when I bought it immediately I want to cancel it but no body answerd and there is no way to give your money back. This is kind of fraud.

I bought my policy with what I thought was a trusted company with a good reputation but turns out I have to deal with a company called PUKKA INSURANCE who have no idea what they are doing, 7 week after being smashed off the a 70mph dual carrigeway by other driver who nearly missed his cut off I have been wrongly advised several times, been told absolute lies that I can prove and now 49 days later with no curtesy car and now have found that my car has not been collected to assess the damage at the garage, therefore I have been left with no result and after at least 3 complaints still have no resulution and now they say they do not actually know where my car is. Unbelievable!! Date of accident - 13/August/2022. Todays date - 01/October/2022.

Constantly changing amounts per month Send letter tell you there going to end the insurance if you don’t contact them and just spend and hour and half on hold telling me there was only a 5 minute wait to only have to call cut off by them, absolutely ridiculous of a company

By far the worst company I have ever had to deal with. From day one they were trying to cancel my policy. After 12 months they had attempted to cancel my policy 14 times, for various reason, none of which were valid. It is almost impossible to contact them (most of their emails or texts are from “no reply” addresses). It takes at least 45 mins to contact them by phone, and when you do it is always a terrible line with somebody who talks too fast and barely speaks any English, and very rude. Each department does not communicate with each other. To top it off I informed them I would not be continuing with them for a second year, yet they totally ignored this and went ahead and renewed my insurance. They continue to ignore all my communication about this. I would highly recommend to everybody to stay well clear of this utter joke of a company.

Was with them for a year, with a decent young drivers quote of £600. The next year, I needed to change my address so I did, and they gave me a renewal quote of over £900.

Complete money takers, never answer the telephone in less than 40 minutes usually way exceeds this. Despite saying that you can cancel the policy within 14 days you get hit with not just the £75 admin fee advised but you pay for the days you are on cover but additional fees. Total rip off, no documentation ever received, and to get a refund of the initial £575 fees took over a week and then £146 withheld which we are still fighting for. Despite numerous emails 6 weeks on still no further forwards. Would never use them or recommend them.

micro-management in a name of insurance and i pay for this too. wasn't informed of a blackbox when paying this insurance and now i have one to install or else i get cancelled. my driving is micro managed too and the rating system is very harsh. 0% score for driving between 11pm and 5am and now my score looks like trash and get a review every few weeks about my driving. I'm not a bad driver, always careful, never got a single speeding ticket because i drive well and never any issues with my pervious insurances. definitely will not be renewing with this Insurance.

Would not recommend. Take money for the first year, then unable to cancel auto renewal online for 2nd year on website, do not answer phones and do not read emails. Sent email in advance of renewal date to inform not renewing. No response then still took money out of bank account on renewal date. Tried to contact them by phone and email to discuss and complain and yet again cannot get hold of anyone. Do not even answer claim line phone number so glad we did not need to claim whilst insured with them.
