I used backbox insurance. According their point of my driving, they increased the insurance price in the middle of year. All my point was good just acceleration was low.

black box, you are not well, why don't you also install a video camera .... before entering into a contract, notify the customer that you intend to install such tracking devices

Hi Krasimir, Thank you for taking you time to leave your feedback. Our website, and comparison sites, detail that WiseDriving is a telematics insurance provider and is a requirement of the policy to install a telematics device that monitors customer's driving behaviours. Our terms and conditions, which you would have had to read & agree to before setting up the policy, also stipulate that you are required to install a telematics device into the vehicle that should remain in the vehicle until the policy is cancelled. If you wish to discuss the policy, please contact our customer service department on 01733 308358. Our offices are open Monday-Friday 8am-6pm & Saturdays 9am-1pm. Many Thanks, Kathryn

Cancelled my policy today and it's the most costly cancellation fee I have encountered so far. They charge £75 cancellation fee + £90 for the black box. If they offer a black box insurance, they should cover this themselves and we shouldn't be expected to cover the costs when we decide to leave. The most I have been charged to cancel a policy was £35 and this is a big difference. I would choose my insurance provider carefully next time and won't be going for WiseDriving in the future if this is what they will charge if I decide to leave.

Hello, We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with your policy. There is indeed a £75 cancellation fee, which inform all our customers of before they purchase a policy. The £90 telematics fee is included in the cost of your policy but it is non-refundable. This is the cost of the device and for the collection and analysis of the data. We also ensure our customers are informed of this fee prior to purchase. Many thanks, Holly

Your system convenient to use and no more option . The premium amount really expensive. No option for international license.

I had a policy with them but due to systemic fault system did not put the date of residence and when I spoke to the customer assistant over the telephone she asked me to pay 425.00 extra. Due to the reason mentioned above, I cancelled the policy but luckily they refunded the money.

The deposit is shocking they expect from first time drivers/buyers. After purchasing my car i had to pay a £202 deposit. The pro was it was the cheapest one I could find- that's it.

I've tried contacting you via telephone just to be put in a infinite loop of choosing keypad options, I've tried contacting you via the "online chat" only to be automatically logged out before I get a response and finally I've tried emailing which I am still yet to receive a response. This whole ordeal has been very stressful and I regret choosing this insurer. As of yet my problem as not been resolved.

I have been with WiseDriving for coming up to 7 months now. I can say they are a dog sh*T company to not only contact, but any extra charge you an absurd amount extra. Firstly, I have finance with there partner comany, close brother, after being insured for around 4 months they didn’t take money out of my account for 2No. Months, once I noticed I contacted them. This shouldn’t be the case. No email was issued, no letter warning me of any changes. Nothing. So when I contacted them, after being on hold for 45 mins, I was told I had to contact there finance company. Again, after waiting about an equal amount of time, they said they didn’t have some documentation. How did I get the finance in the first place with ‘missing documentation’. As soon as I told them, I received an email saying my finance was terminated. So I gave them the documentation, in my case it was a photo of my passport? All sorted, bit annoyed as I had to spend 2 hours of my day that could of been solved by a simple email. Lastly, I need to buy some extra miles as they limit you to what you have estimated. I went over and needed to purchase more. I rang and asked how much for 6,000 extra miles. How much? £200?! I asked the lady on the phone if she thought it was expensive, she said yes it is. I said is there any movement on the price and this is expensive, and in very broken English she said no. However she did say I can do it on the website for cheaper, I decided to buy less miles (still almost £120) and hope I don’t need more. So WiseDriving, if you like to take action on this and provide a better service for your customers, im sure everyone would be very great-full. Just wish I had read the horror stories that people have published about this company. I just trusted there high trust pilot rating that they like to boast. So the good, the bad and the ugly. Good; Cheap - I not be going for the cheapest option next time Gave me £10 back for good driving, not sure if this is is a kick in the teeth after spending over 2 grand with them Bad; Uncontactable, and when you do there English is very very poor and signal is always bad. God knows how it’ll be in the event of a claim! Expensive additional items Very poor group structure, you have to go through multiple company’s to get an answer. The black box is a bit harsh, nothing major but definitely slightly sensitive to breaking/acceleration.

Hi Tom We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with your policy. We do indeed use a third party finance provider for those customers who wish to pay on a monthly basis. We use a third party finance provider as we are not regulated to offer finance. Close Brothers Premium Finance is a regulated finance provider. We are sorry to hear you have had some problems with the finance provided. Have you spoken to CBPF to log a complaint with them about this? One of our rating factors is mileage so the more mileage you do, the higher the premium will be. The cost for more miles is provided to us by your insurer and we are unfortunately unable to change the cost. All our agents speak English but there are of course a wide variety of accents which come into it. Many thanks, Holly

Very disappointed that you have increased my premium by over £500! I haven't had a chance to call you yet but I will.

Hi Frank, Thank you for taking the time out to leave a review. I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the additional premium applied to your policy. Additional premiums can be added for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, a reduction in the driving behaviour score, changes to the policy - for example adding or removing a driver, changing the address or vehicle on the policy, or any undisclosed claims that were not included at the start of your policy. If you wish to discuss this further, please call us on 01733 308358 and we will be able to assist you. Many thanks, Lauren

Hidden costs, changes in the contract without the authorization of the customer and customer service with neglect, time-consuming and that solves nothing.

Hi Amauri We are sorry to hear you are unhappy. We are unsure what you mean by "hidden costs". Could you tell us some more about this, please? Also, we would like to know what changes were made to your policy without your consent and, what specific experiences you had where you were unhappy with the service provided. Please could you email us some more information? Many thanks, Holly

I guess my main point of feedback would be having a consistent 96 score which according to them makes me an excellent driver and emailing me with news of a £0 refund on my policy kinda says to me that most people are tying themselves into a contract without knowledge of how much this could cost them.

it has been very difficult to book a date and time for the fitting of a black box. The online portal did not work and when I called up my client reference number could not be verified and I was passed between a number of departments before someone took ownership to manage the issue - not a great start for a new client
