Absolute robbers avoid at all costs.

Absolute robbers avoid at all costs. I was unlucky enough to have to scrap my car half way through a policy and not only did they charge a £75 cancellation fee but also an additional charge of £36 broker’s fee. Out of a total of almost £200 potential refund I received only £85 they’re disgusting. Reviewed on: 17th March 2026

HIGH hidden fees - avoid

I have been with Go-Skippy for around 7 months, and needed to cancel recently due to my cars engine failing and becoming a write off. Within my documents it stated that it would be a £75 cancellation fee as it falls outwith the 14 days cooling off period After a not so pleasant conversation with one of their "customer service" employees. I was told my cancellation fee would be £166, with other fees being stated in their policy documents (not clear and definitely not stated on day of purchase) Avoid this company as they don't have their customers best interests as part of their business, especially if you have to cease your policy due to unforeseen circumstances. Would not recommend to anyone, nor would I ever take out a policy with them again. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2026

Do NOT get your car insurance from GoSkippy, I've been with them for over 10 years, and now they are refusing me for next year, all because I reported I had a small incident. And yet the other driver hasn't reported the incident. The 1st one ever and now I'm to high risk. This is how they treat long standing customers. Reviewed on: 11th December 2025

Horrible company

Cancelled my policy before my next payment date and they took yet another payment. When I phoned up they couldn’t tell me if it will be refunded, instead taking about “recalculating” and that I’ll be refunded in 28 days IF I am entitled to it. This is nearly £300. They also lied about why the payment was taken, saying it was already in process when I cancelled but actually they didn’t inform the credit company of the cancellation (confirmed by them). Other than that they were a nightmare with policy documents and wouldn’t accept “proof of no claims bonus” document as proof of no claims. Weren’t much help in sorting this out and felt like I was going around in circles. Cancellation fee was atrocious at £195. I only wanted to be able to drive my partners car as a second car and wasn’t worth it in the end. Honestly feel robbed. Reviewed on: 3rd December 2025

RIP OFF DO NOT USE

I used Go Skippy from 29th September to 14th November because they were the cheapest on Gocompare but when I looked deeeper into everything, the amounts I had to pay in the event of an accident were way higher than any other insurance company. I decided to sell the car and cancelled the insurance and they are charging an additional amount of £213 just to cancel the policy. Daylight robbery and I would not go anywhere near this ripoff company. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2025

Worst Car insurance company ever.

Worst Car insurance company ever. Bought a new car, tried to change cover to new car, there response " we cannot provide cover for your new car " so I am left with no option but cancel the policy, so simple ? but no, got to do it online and wait for a call back, then charge you £75 cancellation plus extra other fees making it £88 just to cancel, why do I have to pay to cancel because you cant offer cover on my new car ? not my fault you cant cover it, but told by guy on the phone " its not our fault you bought a new car either" what crap is that, discussing reply from a company representative Total rip-off, I will be contacting financial ombudsman, watchdog and any other organisation I can to bring this rubbish to light, totally unacceptable, never again will i uses this company. Just be very aware of there policy's Reviewed on: 17th October 2025

If it's this bad for quotes imagine if you had a bump..

I completed a quote using a comparison site and go Skippy came back with the cheapest quote. Was out through to their website and filled all relevant sections . Their system did not like my bank details so was asked to call to verify identity. After waiting along time on the phone was put through to a customer service rep who said he would try to verify ended up been cut off. Called back through again and when answered explained to customer service what happened. The lady said I would have to pay an extra £20 as I was taking out policy over phone. I pointed out this was not acceptable as it was due to an issue with their system and they had asked me to ring. I use my car for business, not for carrying for hire and reward, but I do travel to other premises to teach and assess students. I had selected business cover, but the lady when going through the options said this only covers for travel to one permanent place of business and does not cover carrying passengers. I asked her to clarify this, as to me that would be commuting. As I work at my home address the majority of the time, I don't commute. I also asked her to clarify what if I was car sharing for no reward or taking my partner on a business trip with me socially would they be covered as a passenger, to which the answer was no. So unless you read the small print or ring you would find out business cover selected is basically only commuting, and heaven forbid you should have an accident, and you are at fault, your passengers wouldn't be covered. Needless to say I didn't take cover with them. By this time I had been sat for an hour after deciding to buy a new car, and went to the next company on the list and paid by card. To my annoyance I have just had the confirmation email to find Vavista is part of the same company, so it looks like more telephone calls tomorrow Reviewed on: 13th October 2025
