Review of the GoSkippy, Car insurance:

11/10

Couldn't fault them, the CS team go above and beyond, they have low low rates and are always there to help My experience so far has been top quality and hopefully I can stay with them for a while Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Credit card fraud

My credit card was recently hacked. A fraudulent payment was made to GoSkippy with whom I have never had dealings. Despite extensive efforts to contact them I received no response whatsoever. I would never entrust my business and confidential details to a company with such flagrant disregard to the risks of fraud. AVOID at all costs! Reviewed on: 13th March 2023

Avoid at all cost

Total nightmare I had to pay for delivery of my new motorcycle because go skippy told me because my new motorcycle was not registered with the DVLA yet I could not be insured but when I rang other professionals companies I was told it’s not a problem. So my bike is still sat in the garage unable to use it cowboy company avoid Reviewed on: 2nd March 2023

Rubbish

Below standard customer service. Spoke to at least 5 people who work here, none of whom were knowledgeable about the industry they work in. I experienced lots of hidden fees and cancelling my insurance with GoSkippy was ridiculously expensive. Reviewed on: 25th February 2023

Stay Away!

This company is the worst car insurance company I have ever experienced. They are constantly asking for more information to be sent and threatening to cancel the policy. I have never had to talk to a car insurer so much, just a complete waste of time. Reviewed on: 15th February 2023

Never using GoSkippy again.

£150 monthly insurance. First payment was May. Was in an RTA 3 months later that wasnt my fault. (August). My car was a write off. But was still paying insurance until December. (£600 worth of insurance for a car I didn't even own. They valued my car at £1830 and took the premiers out the payout which included the 4 months I didn't have a car (Aug-Dec) When I asked about the value/payout they insisted my car is worth £1830. So when I asked for the refund from Aug-Dec as I had already paid twice. They vauled my car at £1230. Exactly £600 difference so they didn't have to give me a refund. Don't bother going with GoSkippy, they expect you to do all the work, have very rude customer services and lie to you so they don't have to give you a refund Reviewed on: 10th February 2023

Not happy

For Everything they will charge you with disgusting high charges. All bad with this company. To be honest I can't say something nice about this company. If I could put 0 stars so I will make it Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

Avoid at all Costs

I was hit by a third party and suffered damage to my vehicle. Go Skippy refused to repair my car,provide a courtesy car or even allow me to claim through my policy despite me being Fully Comp. Reaching out to them they became more and more uncooperative. I Made numerous complaints without success. My car was left unrepaired and unroad worthy. I will be taking the issue to the financial ombudsman Please avoid Go Skippy at all costs. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2023

Avoid at all costs

Had 2 cars insured with them , scrapped one and asked them to cancel the isurance on it provided make model and Reg for it and they cancelled the wrong one the woman on phone offered me a new quote that was 4 times the amount I was paying before even tho they were at fault and the effort they made to tell me about cancellation was 0 send an email that’s all Reviewed on: 23rd January 2023

Poor customer service and communication

The customer service team are not only rude, unhelpful but very inefficient and unable to do basic tasks or communicate properly. There is no syncing or cohesion clearly, they fail to add notes to your file or properly update information on your policy or account.  They request documents from you and you send them to emails they have given, as well as uploading to a portal and then there are staff who are still so totally clueless asking you for documents and demanding you send them.  I uploaded documents to portal and sent all requested documents not 10 times but probably close to 15 or more because each time i got a clueless email back saying "we havent received this document yet" although i sent it last week to the proper and correct email. They dont bother to update the account, check your previous emails, check the attachments, check the portal. They are consistently lazy and bad at their jobs.  I attached the no claim bonus and the guy replied asking for it, he clearly hadnt checked my portal document or the attachment to check if it was there All they do is waste customer time, do a poor job and send threatening email for policy cancellation. I told them about 100 times the V5 log book is under policy holder now and updated, and im waiting for dvla to send back. They do not acknowledge this and are rude, poor customer service, clueless and dont care about doing a job well or efficiently.  I only spoke to one nice, polite and smart person on the phone, i should have got her name because she was the only one with a brain in the customer service team.  GoSkippy are a threatening, poorly managed and terrible insurance company. You can do everything in ur power to communicate, send correct documents, be honest and provide info and call them several times, they will still speak to you blankly as if you havent done anything they requested. Total inefficiency, hope to never do insurance here again - Reviewed on: 21st January 2023

Avoid!

Worst car insurer I’ve ever used! Non-fault claim fobbed off to accident management company who were useless! Cancelled my policy because my car was written off and I couldn’t find a replacement immediately so they had the nerve to charge me £75 for cancellation! Disgraceful! AVOID!
