GoSkippy Car insurance reviews (291)

Avoid at ALL costs!!!

It's not to often that I describe a company as a "set of b******** ", but I think I have now very much found that company, and "GoSkippy" is at the very forefront of that description. My partner took out an insurance policy with this "broker" who immediately charge £50 to go and "find you insurance". At the time we didn't know that they were effectively, well... Scammers as they were listed on the gocompair website. 1 Day later, we recieved an email telling us to call them then they stated that they had to cancel the policy because of a "Failed Credit Check". Now... That's fair enough, but A) Why didn't they not let me know before they entered an agreement and created a policy with ,me and B) Why was my refund at £11 after THEY decided to cancel the policy. They say that insurance is insurance, I don't blame you, I used to think the same until I came across this horrible company. Also, You won't find any mention of this in their terms and conditions. I was wrong about insurance and I wish I had just paid the extra £15 from a real insurance company. I feel like I've been f***** over, but legally. This company is the scum of the earth, oh and you can expect words like "Won't" and "Cant" in these calls. Reviewed on: 17th November 2021

Hidden Fees

Charged my not one, but SEVEN different cancellation fees amounting to over £180. Really disgusting customer service and just a terrible way to conduct business. Highly recommend you to avoid them. Reviewed on: 17th November 2021

Disgusting company

My son took insurance with them paid £370 2 weeks later they wanted £800 with 2 days to pay it then was told if he cancels its £650, they cancelled policy as I refused to pay the £800 they are now sending letters to try get the £650 even tho they cancelled it, avoid this company they are only after your money Reviewed on: 17th September 2021

Absolute shocking

My car insurance was up for renewal. I received no email towards renewal . I then get a text message " if you want to continue with policy reply back 'yes' and we will do the rest". I didn't reply back as found a cheaper quote etc. I then get a text message saying my policy has been renewed and the direct debit is set for the 4th of every month???. How can anyone renew a policy when I haven't agreed to anything!?!. Stay clear of this company. Reviewed on: 4th September 2021

Disgusting rip off.

Had insurance for 26 days with them and they are now charging me £173 for cancelling the policy. They are very rude and abrupt on the phone and will not listen and argue with you. Would never use them again and would advise anybody not to use them. Reviewed on: 20th August 2021

Best price

Was the cheapest quote for the second year running. Reviewed on: 13th August 2021

Bunch of crooks who are only interested in fleecing their customers. customer service is absolutely shocking. This company should be avoided by all means.

Cancelled my insurance only to be charged a default charge of £25. When challenged, i was advised to speak to creations who said they know nothing about this charge. This charge was eventually removed because i vigorously challenged it. Reviewed on: 10th August 2021

DO NOT USE THIS INSURANCE COMPANY

worst ever insurance company I have ever used, on comparison website I ticked the box for pillion cover included for my Motorbike insurance, took go skippy insurance as they came up the cheapest then when I got my documents the pillion cover was not included. So ended up having to cancel as I needed pillion cover and was charged £65 for this and wasn’t able to use my motorbike. KEEP AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!! Reviewed on: 6th August 2021

Shocking Company DO NOT USE

Do not use and do not trust this… Do not use and do not trust this company. Complete crooks and should be banned from trading. How can a premium change from £799pa to nearly £1100 for simply changing the start date by 8 days? Horrified!!!!!! Reviewed on: 1st July 2021

Absolutely shocking!!!

Don’t use this company unless you like throwing your hard earned cash away!! The first policy was cancelled as they said my sons points weren’t declared....sure we did! Anyway benefit of the doubt, lost £500+. My son is young and and we were finding it hard to get him insured on the car he had bought. ( 21 with a bloody good job so treated himself to high spec car). So got another quote from them checked and double checked all the details, everything above board.....same thing happened!!!! Would like to add that it all went through and he paid his deposit only to lose it again!! Taking this to the financial ombudsman! This company know exactly what they are doing and had now left my son uninsured with a car he can’t drive!!! RAGING!!! Reviewed on: 20th May 2021
