It was very easy to get insurance with Vavista and I’ve been with them before and it was a great experience and hence the reason why I’m back, it’s just a shame we have to keep jumping around insurance companies due to price comparison websites, wish quotes would be standardised then that would eliminate this issue.

Excessive cancellation fees and poor customer service

The cancellation fees were excessive and were not clearly explained when I signed the contract. When I cancelled with only three months remaining, I was charged £66.03. The only communication I received was a three-line email stating the amount due, with no explanation or breakdown of the charges. I was simply given a figure and expected to pay it.

The customer service that followed was equally disappointing. They never contacted me proactively. Instead, I had to call them myself to discuss payment arrangements.

When I did call, I was asked what felt like an excessive number of personal questions under the guise of account verification. I found this intrusive and unnecessary.

To make matters worse, despite having previously collected my monthly payments by direct debit, they would not take the final payment using the same method. They insisted that payment had to be made over the phone.

I had to repeatedly request their bank details to make a transfer. It felt like a struggle just to pay them. Eventually, after making it clear that I would not be able to pay without those details, they finally provided the account information and I transferred the money.

Even after paying the outstanding balance, I continued receiving collection-related communications for weeks afterwards.

Overall, a frustrating experience with poor communication, a lack of transparency around cancellation charges, and unnecessarily difficult payment processes.

Misleading and not transparent insurance broker

I had been insured with this company and simply needed to change my policy after selling my old car and buying a new one.
During the online amendment process, I was shown a quote of £328.59 before submitting the change. At no point was it made clear that this was an additional premium on top of my existing annual premium. The way it was presented made it appear that £328.59 was the total premium for the updated policy. Had it been made clear that my total premium would increase to over £1,046, I would never have agreed to the change.
Later, I received an email informing me that the £328.59 had been added to my existing premium. I felt completely misled.
Trying to resolve the issue was even more frustrating. I called customer service multiple times on different days and at different times but could never get through to anyone. I also used the web-chat, where the agent gave confusing and unrelated response instead of helping or at least trying to help.
The whole experience felt misleading and lacked transparency. Customers should be clearly informed of the total cost before they commit to a policy change, not find out afterwards through an email. The poor customer service only made matters worse.
I have now submitted a formal complaint and requested that my policy be cancelled. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.
