I came across Hastings Direct when looking for quotes for car insurance as my renewal was due. I was on money supermarket and among the quotes was Hastings Direct which turned out to be a very good price compered to my renewal quote for comparable cover. It was a no -brainer decision to accept the quote but I was a bit sceptical about doing the transaction online as I don't normally do renewals online. However I needen't have worried as it was pretty straightforward and you have the opportunity to peruse everything before you proceed. Everything was done quite quickly and a couple of days later I recieved all the policy paperwork by post which I like to have. I would have no hesitation using Hastings Direct again and would recommend them to anyone thinking of buying Insurance!

Was so easy to do online. Had a very helpful man answer the phone when I realised I’d put my email in wrong. He was very polite and pleasant to talk to too and overall helpful, making sure I didn’t need any other help and staying on the phone until I had made sure it was all fixed.

My insurance policy is a good price for first time insurance. I have a black box that tells me ways to improve my driving such as breaking a bit too hard sometimes. Though, I've been using it just under a week and have noticed that it tracks phone use (understandably) though it has tracked my sister using my Bluetooth for music in the car. Hopefully this doesn't cause problems but other than that I'm very pleased so far.

Hello Emily, Thank you for your review, we're glad you've had a positive experience. Going forward, it may be best that your Bluetooth isn't used for this purpose while the vehicle is moving. We have found that this can impact the score as the Bluetooth is being used by the app and box. If you need to discuss this further, you can call the team on 0333 999 8911 and they can help you. ~Theo, Social Media Team

Absolutely appalling service! I contacted them to update my last name after getting married, only to be told I’d have to pay £135 just for this simple change. It’s ridiculous that something so basic incurs such an outrageous fee. To make matters worse, it was actually cheaper to cancel my policy and switch to another insurance provider. This company clearly values squeezing extra money out of their customers more than retaining them.

Hello, Thanks for your review, we’re sorry to hear you’re unhappy with the price we offered. When we offer a quote, we always try to give you the best price we can, based on the information you give us. However, this price may change even if your details stay the same, because your insurer may adjust the risk level of your policy. If you need to discuss this further or look at the options available, you can give our team a call on 0333 321 9801. I hope that you are able to find suitable cover for your vehicle soon. ~Theo, Social Media Team
