STAY AWAY!!!

After 23 years of driving I’ve never had to deal with such a DEMANDING and incompetent insurance company! Then to top it off after trying to make a payment over the phone my bank blocked my card because to cut costs goskippy use Nigerian call centres! I’m now getting inundated with scam phone calls and emails and stuck waiting for a new bank card! Then there’s the the demands, so far I’ve been asked for photos of- Full driving licence No claims discount Full Log book Proof of address Proof of earnings Proof of employment Proof of employment qualifications Photo of the cars vin number Photo of front of the car Photo of back of the car And god knows what else Oh and I must not forget to tell you about their inability to open email attachments in full resolution, I sent my licence and ncd over a dozen times. I honestly feel like I’ve been scammed! It’s like they are trying to get me to cancel my insurance with them so they can charge me massively overpriced cancellation charges! So stay away for god sake! My next step will be asking for a refund, which I really don’t expect to get because I really do suspect goskippy is nothing but a scam! Reviewed on: 7th January 2020

Putting life at damages with void insurance no joke

putting my life and 3 child and partner who was pregnant at risk If you have insurance please check that you are covered as they put my life my 3 young child under the age of 7 and my partner and unborn child life at risk by giving me a void insurance 1) telling me to put my sister car that I use as spouse coz there system don’t allow you to put as sibling Found out after my accident that not only they told me to do that I find out that they do not even cover people driving any one car if you are not the registered keeper in less you are married to the registered keep them tryed to blame me well ones they listen to the record they had to pay out for the car as they admitted to me that the underwriter was at fault now I’m sueing them I had 3-4 of the advisor telling me that go skippy are at fault and offered me £30 compensation now one advisor said they have changed there minds don’t think I’m going to have that do you after you already admitted liability I asked if they are having a laugh after putting us all at risk I then emailed liz the CEO of go skippy and the IRDA and trading standards still waiting for the underwriter to email me with the out come Reviewed on: 15th October 2019

Terrible experience from start to finish!

avoid avoid and avoid this company! Taking out the car insurance Policy was like a security check for joining MI5.... this constituted 12 days of emails back and forth and a very time consuming unneeded procedure. trying to get a response to my renewal quote which was obscene was replied explaining that they were very busy and it may take 7 days to respond to my request!!! I requested callbacks which were arranged and never received.... the policy was automatically renewed and I did not receive any paperwork via email or post and my recent attempt to cancel the policy was hard work to say the least ... only to be told I had to pay a £75 cancellation fee which was deemed ‘reasonable.’ Be prepared to be robbed of your time and money with this company.

Awful experience AVOID

In 35 years of driving I have never come across such an awful company to insure the car with ,took out a policy for my son with myself as a named driver ,I had an sp30 which was over 3 yrs old and wasn't on my licence any more ,I had totally forgot about it ,they ask you to go on the Gov website and get a code so they can verify your driving history, this old sp30 showed up and they wanted an extra148 pound because of it ,this is a RIP off as when this came to light I phoned my own insurance company to inform them .my policy for myself fully comprehensive on a brand new car was only 160 for the year ,they told me there was no difference in the cost at all ,so that proves go skippy are just ripping people off .I cancelled the policy with them due to their customer service advisor not giving me the full info ,which apparently was my fault for not knowing all their terms and conditions which their own employee did not know .it cost me 177 pound on fees for having insurance with them for 21 days .steer clear Reviewed on: 4th June 2019

Rip off Merchants.

Please don`t fall into the trap cheapest is the best quote, lot`s of fee`s. * Annoyingly rang six times in a row for renewal quote. *Charged an admin fee to take out renewal quote over the phone of £20 plus another £40 extra in comparison to the online quote. *The online quote was adjusted to the phone quote after the conversation ended. *Rude,pushy customer service advisor and couldn`t understand what she was saying. *Minor mistake on my document resulted in an extra (made up figure) of £91.89 plus a £50 admin fee. *Waited 20mins for an advisor to answer, when they did they didn`t want to resolve any problems just take my money. Why did I go with them? I had a trouble free year with them the first time and they were still the best quote online. Would I use them again? No I wouldn`t. Every time you ring them the quotes go up and they charge £20 admin fee if you take out a phone quote. If you cancel your policy they charge so much fees that you might aswell just let the policy run. Also these are not a 24hr operation and when you call takes 20 mins for an answer. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Rubbish company

Unless u have hundreds of pounds to waste pls stay away from this Go skippy . Aboustly dishonest and cheats. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2019

Total waste of time

Got a great renewal quote on GoCompare so after my existing insurance supplier couldn't quite match it I called GoSkippy to go ahead on the quote. I had mistakenly noted my renewal date as 1 day later than it was so when I asked to change it by one day they put the quote up by £250! despite no other changes to the policy details other than wanting to pay them a day earlier they would not correct this absurd increase and the lady on the phone could not see how ridiculous this was. A total waste of my time and a display of what a load of amateur idiots run this scam company. Dont waste your time, just negotiate with a reputable firm of insurers. Having now read the reviews on here it would seems it's high time for an ombudsman to step in and sort this lot out Reviewed on: 2nd January 2019
