I have not received any paperwork in the post for the car insurance i have purchased.
Pretty good always go for 5 star defaqto and their price was fair.
Why can't your renewal price be the same as you put on comparison websites
Every thing was done very quickly with out any hassle, and all the necessary documents were emailed to me on time, and the price was reasonable.
Very good was £29 less than last year and cheap than other providers and the call centre agent was UK based which was great.
Worst home emergency cover I’ve ever had I phoned for a internal water leak flooding into bedroom and hall in a bungalow Hastings emergency sent a voice mail which said I had to phone first to make a appointment for them to come to my leak it was a drainage company that rang me I had to cancel complained to Hastings who sent me to home emergency second time another voicemail from a heating company who said give us a call for a appointment for tomorrow I thought seeing it was damaging my bedroom and hall way I’d get a plumber quickly I didn’t want a heating engineer I wanted a plumber I phoned Hastings again to complain I wanted a plumber Bearing in mind I’m 81 my wife’s 80 we were struggling to get help I told Hastings to forget about home emergency I’ll get my own plumber which I have done and the fact that I was in telephone queues for over 2.5 hours trying to get help form Hastings home emergency sent so I say to you don’t bother with this insurance company.
I wear hearing aids and sometimes find it difficult to hear the conversation, the person I spoke to was very clear so I could understand every thing.
Very helpful and polite when you phone them and the price was good
I greatful that you let me choose the affordable policy that suits my needs without a hassle and gave me peace of mind as a new policy cover me immediately
Arman was very helpful and kind give him a raise !!!
I am extremely disappointed with Hastings.
When I changed my address the day before my renewal, I was told over the phone that there would be no change in price. Based on that information, I proceeded with the policy.
The price originally provided to me was £727, but Hastings charged me around £865. When I contacted them, they stated its because I changed my address, even though I was not told this over the phone nor had an email to inform me that the price has changed. Hastings then re reviewed the price and quoted £909!!!!
I decided to cancel the policy and I was charged a cancellation fee despite the policy only having been active for one day and the cancellation having arisen from Hastings providing inaccurate and conflicting information.
Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company.
