Review of the GoSkippy, Car insurance:

GoSkippy are scammers

Last year’spremium, my first year with GoSkippy, was £399 51 including an arrangement fee of £82.52. This year the renewal was £1018.93 with a fee of -£43.68 - yes a negative arrangement fee!, This represents around 150% increase year on year despite there being no claims on the original policy and reliable industry sources suggesting prices during 2023 increased by less than 50% and have have stabilised or even reduced in the first part of this year. When I queried this increase with GoSkippy their first line support told me they do not make any effort to check on prices, simply pass them on to customers. Interesting since the Company claims to be brokers and charge a fee albeit a negative fee in the second year - which may be fair since they clearly provide no added value. Further, a comparison site suggested I purchase a policy from GoSkippy Essentials for a premium of £543.12. To summarise,GoSkippy appear to pay no attention to the Financial Conduct Authority’s regulations published in 2022 which stipulate that it is illegal to charge a disproportionately higher rate to an existing customer compared to that given to a new client (known as loyalty penalties). I believe I could be forgiven for concluding that GoSkippy have very strange business ethics when they seem to rely on misleading existing clients for profit - in an old maxim - if it smells of fish it is generally fishy.

Worst company to deal with. Say an amount of money then add on to that. Ask for phone recording as proof don't send it. Shocking wouldn't recommend this company at all. Reviewed on: 26th August 2025

Fees are Disgraceful

Shameful company. The fees they charge to make a 2 second change like swapping the number plate for a private plate are shocking. Clearly there to extorts money from people. No morals ! Reviewed on: 30th July 2025

RIP off company asking for full driving license history via DVlA within 28 days. Why do they need full history when they can check on the insurance data bases of any accidents and convictions, company needs to be reported Reviewed on: 19th May 2025

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, THIS COMPANY IS A DAYLIGHT ROBBERY, MY POLICY NOT EVEN STARTED YET AND I WANT TO CANCEL IT, BECAUSE I DID NOT AGREE WITH THAIR TERM CONDITIONS, THEY INSURED MY VEHICLE FOR BUSINESS BUT I CANNOT USE IT FOR MY BUSINESS THIS IS STUPIDITY WHICH I HAVEN’T HEARD BEFORE. ANYWAY NOW WANT CANCEL IT BUT THEY DEMAND A CANCELLATION FEES, AND I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY DO I HAVE PAY THIS BECAUSE TODAY IS 19th OF MAY AND MY INSURANCE SUPPOSED TO START ON 25th MAY 2025. SO AVOID AVOID AVOID THIS COMPANY. Reviewed on: 19th May 2025

Bunch of crooks

They made me cancel my insurance because it turned out that my other named driver held their licence for LONGER than I’d told them. Then theyre only giving back £434 out of £620 that I paid them. (Which Im still waiting for) Could be worse though. Imagine WORKING there. Reviewed on: 17th April 2025
