“good price, good customer service”

★★★★★

written by matholton on 17/04/2012

We shopped around a lot as usual for our car insurance.... as the title says we found Hastings to be a good price, without losing any extras. Very good customer service, especially liked the courtesy call after purchase. Documents delivered securely and quickly by email.

“Easy to Arrange”

★★★★★

written by on 03/04/2012

I arranged Insurance Cover for my wife and found the hassle-free process so straightforward I cancelled with my own insurer and went with Hastings. As simple as that! I have told my family and friends about the competitive pricing and trouble free way to switch. It's not often I recommend anything to anyone.

“bad news”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 31/03/2012

If I cancel my policy it will be 4 x monthly payments worth to cover it? How unfair is that

“Good price, responsive service”

★★★★★

written by Charlesdmorgan on 24/03/2012

Bought through a comparison website - all worked well and process seemed slick and not too lengthy. I forgot to download my insurance docs within the time Hastings had specified but their staff were quick to reply by email and sent me the docs as an attachment.

“Car Insurance, cheap with good service”

★★★★☆

written by andieh33 on 23/03/2012

Hastings Direct have provided me with a good service since being with them. They were the cheapest option on compare the market website by a mile. Their website is easy to use and navigate around. The options for different packages were clear. The email option for receiving documents was good and they were quick to send them. Since being with them they have only called once to check my package was what I needed and to see if i wanted to add any extras. This in my eyes is good as being hassled to buy things is not great!! So far I'm pleased with the service and would recommend them to a friend or family.

“Insurance Policy Review :D”

★★★★☆

written by danipink88 on 09/03/2012

Really helpful, cheaper than competitors which is fab as I am a student and when I stated that a lot of companies would no longer insure me. Call back from a member of team was a good made me feel welcomed. The only problem i had with the insurance was tthe price of the deposit which I did find high compared to other companies however they had more to offer so I did pay it in the end. I found the process easy and "pain free"

“Hastings car insurance”

★★★☆☆

written by Nadia1772 on 09/03/2012

Like the above review I found it to be the most competitive price. Once I had filled my details in on line Hastings were quick to email me my docs. However I noticed that the model of my car listed on the car insurance was not correct and so I rang them up and told them to find out that I had to pay another £50 because the actual model of my car ( which was correctly inputted by me on the Internet quote) was in a higher car insurance bracket!!! So what do I do? Cancel it all and start again??? No you've guessed it- I gave out a big sigh and said just add it to my monthly premium. I wonder if this has happened to anyone else????

“Cheap insurance but watch out for hidden charges”

★★★☆☆

written by dwpvfc on 11/02/2012

When my renewal was due , already with Hastings, the web price was cheaper than the renewal price. I contacted customer services who were unable to match the price and would charge me additional £10 to renew by phone!! I move house in the insurance period last year and they charged £35 admin fee to change my address!!!! no other company charged me to change my address!!

“Sorry! Had go at wrong company! But very empathetic...”

★★★★★

written by KieranKyle1982 on 10/02/2012

The young lady that rang me asking for feedback I erroneously assumed was from my old insurance company so gave her both barrels. I told her as a conduit of the business, and that she rang me, that I had a right to express my discontent. I must say, she was very personable and helpful (and HUMAN!) so understood my frustration. In return, I apologised for making her have to listen to my rather
