“I found performance direct complicated and difficult to deal with. Changes are hard to make and will incur huge fees the customer service was long winded and not friendly or helpful. I will not be using these again, Hastings direct who I was previously with for several years I found to be excellent in all the areas performance direct are terrible I would recommend them instead.”

“did not stick to original quote. refused to acknowledge my level of no claims and consequently increased my premium. the service and price i ended up with was not what was originally offered.”

“They have recently cancelled two policies now I'm stuck with two debts by default which I don't need. After selling one car they wouldn't cancel my policy and so I was left with the remainder of the balance to pay off, really helpful!! This has happened in succession and being out of work currently this has put me in an awkward position, in future I'll go elsewhere for my classic car insurance, I'd rather pay more than be stuck with a policy I no longer need, they really adhere to the customers needs, NOT. I've used them on and off for years no loyalty for returning customers what so ever really angry right now, that's an understatement. The customer relations officer was useless and she achieved nothing I will escalate this matter further, I remain unsatisfied. I've just found they have blocked me on Twitter how childish the truth hurts does it? I noticed on here I'm not the only one who has been left liable for the remainder of the policy how disgusting!!! I'm going to highlight this further it's wrong to rip so many people off. Im not the only person this has happened to, look at the review sites and google the company this is widespread and you could be next...”

“I would like to make an official complaint. I am incredibly disappointed with your customer service. As your client I trusted you and your offer but I lost all my discounts for a year, as a result of the bankruptcy of the insurance company. This is my first insurance for this car and now I have to pay a higher insurance for a next year. Another outrageous thing it's your offer of the new insurance for me. My previous insurance was £600, however you offer me £1700 or above that. I wish to emphasize that insurance on moneysupermarket.com oscillate around £600.”

“I wanted to insure my 'leased' van. I received quote via comparethemarket.com- performance direct was my second choice. Details given to performance direct were as per details given to comparethemarket.com. My first choice, returned my deposit as they did not have a cover for leased van for short term. My second choice, performance direct, based on the same material fact given to comparethemarket.com and to the first choice, also couldn't start a policy due to the 'lease' aspect, but decided to clear my bank account for their fraudulent claim for cancellation and admin fees! That was done some 10 minutes after my online payment as deposit AND before even a policy was written or set up! It took just that 10 minutes for them to steal my money! Needless to say that the matter is in the hands of Financial Ombudsman now! Performance Direct and your parent company Grove& Dean, your are fraudsters and theives!”

Hi Alwan; Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us, I'm sorry to hear that it hasn't been the most positive. Essentially, this matter falls under that of your claims handler and not us as your Broker. We can help to assist with the matter by contacting your claims handler for you, but ultimately, this lies with them. We understand that making a claim or having your car stolen is frustrating, if there's anything that you would like me to investigate or look into for you, please let me know as I'd be happy to help. Regards; Lauryn Performance Direct

“Do not use this company they are robbers we paid in full to insure our 4x4 but 2/3 weeks after taking policy out we decided to sell it .we rang and told them we knew we would lose some money on the policy but not the amount we did it was eye watering plus they were charging us £15 to send the policy out i asked why it cost that much i was given a load of waffle (we did'nt have it posted)When you do ring your waiting ages so i asked if they would ring me back they said yes right away but it took the next day to do it.they have no people skills at all i would never recommend this company to anyone after all its your money so shop around”

“Took up a policy with them after using one of the comparison websites as they were marginally less than other brokers. I paid the policy in full. Since then they have taken a further £105 from my bank account with no authorisation from myself (apparently this is in their small print so beware) for a 2 year old note on my previous insurance account where there hadn't even been an actual claim made! Never mind non fault. Despite my previous insurer telling me that neither this or non fault claims should affect your premium, the guys at Performance wanted an extra £55 and of course a 'service charge' (probably some sort of staff commission going on how desperate these guys seem). My advice - pay a little more and go with a properly established insurer - you'll pay less in the long run. Stay well away from this lot.”
