“Had email stating I must contact them to validate my details.Tried phoning for 2 days, on hold for half an hour several times & no answer. Requested a call back. No one phoned back. They said they would cancel my insurance if I did not phone them. I went with Direct Line instead who did not treat me this way & were cheaper! I won’t be using any van or car comparison sites again but particularly wanted to warn people about Van Compare”

“Got a quote which said the Total Payable was £267.18. They then said I needed to pay by monthly instalments to get the " Discount " They then said it was over £400 with add ons. Total Payable is just that. The total Payable. Rip Off scam company. Be Aware.”

“You can not speak to anyone unless you are buying the policy, phones are unanswered, emails are returned and there is no alternative address supplied, the online chat is useless as they say they will act and pass it on but don’t and written complaints are ignored and they threaten with debt collectors - you can’t get through to discuss. Absolute con!”

“Service is absolutely diabolical. Did a quote on a van and came back for 13000 for the year………. Phone then rings so I answer I told her I just did a quote and came back for 13000 she replied with we will update our service and then ends the phone. The company is a pile of wank and need closing”

“Agreed this years premium and paid in full. Didn't notice the email they sent me later saying that they had underquoted and were charging me £20 extra. Only noticed when I checked my account weeks later. By then too late to cancel. Always dealt with them by phone, could they not have called if there was a problem. Been with them a few years now but will not be renewing. Buyers beware.”

“TERRIBLE! AWFUL! TOTAL SCAM! Tried to cancel on the day I took out the insurance. Called time after time. Spent hours on hold. Requested countless call backs. Sent emails. Got nothing back! Have cancelled the direct debit so van compare can go swivel. Dreadful company. The list of unhappy and negative reviews proves it. Have reported van compare to BBC’s rogue traders and they are following up mine and others cases. Watch this space”

“I took out a policy, paid in full, cancelled within the cooling off period as it turned out to be a lot more expensive. I’m struggling to get my money back from Van Compare. This has been going on for 5 weeks now with no conclusion. AVOID THIS COMPANY”

“Transferred to a new policy on the day I px’d the old van…… they never cancelled the old policy, even though I spoke to them 6 times on the day of px. Then they sent threatening reminders for repayments on the old policy AND asked for more money on the new policy! Absolutely shocking customer service, and no response to emails….. steer clear!”

“I insured one of my vehicles through van compare. All seemed fine at first. They took nearly £140 deposit and I didn’t hear off them for a couple of days. Then out of the blue 2 threatening emails and a text message saying they were cancelling my insurance unless I phoned to verify. And 30 minutes on hold and a 30 minute call they’d upped the price of my insurance by around £20, they taken the deposit and spread it amongst my monthly payments which was not originally agreed upon and finally the woman said everything was verified. A few days later, another call. This time asking for a picture of my driving license. I told him I’d sent it and I wasn’t happy they were still contacting me after being told everything had been verified. He apologised and said he could see that was the case and that would be the end of it. Then a few days later their contacting me again!! Same issues!! More threatening emails and texts. Then a call. I then request to make a complaint and cancel the policy. They put me on hold. Then cut off the call. I call back. They do the same thing again. I go on the chat, and the operator is blatantly ignoring my questions. I request to make a complaint via the chat. And still I’m ignored. This company has taken my deposit and used it incorrectly which I feel is unlawful deduction from my bank account. They have harassed me constantly. And breached their own complaints policies and terms and conditions.”

“No after sales service, no customer service phone number only on line chat. Must have tried for hours and hours to get an answer to a very simple issue, only when I said I would cancel did someone contact me and they still write the wrong name on the policy. Completely dreadful experience. Please avoid! Will never use again.”

“Absolute con...... I got hooked in with a great price, filled in the details and paid in full. Then your emailed with a telephone number to call to activate policy, only to be told its more expensive. Then cancelled immediately, and told a charge of £25 would be made to cancel. Do not use this web site!! Made a complaint to their customer services only to be told the charge would remain, and was signed off with '"have a great day", thanks a lot”

“Terrible service, they took £90 of my money after they told me they couldn’t insure my van at the cost quoted, so I told them I didn’t want their insurance, so they charged me £45 cancellation & £45 deposit 😡. This is within one day! Absolutely disgusting”
