GoSkippy Car insurance reviews (247)

plesantly suprised

So go skippy came in cheapest on all comparisons sights but as I hadn't heard of them I was a little wary. However as funds were tight I proceeded with the cover. After 8 years of having no claims bonus, I unfortunately was hit by a lorry in the back of my car, when it was parked up. A none fault accident but Go Skippy quickly sorted everything for me. I was given a curtiousy car whilst mine was sent off to be repaired, however, it was a write off but I was paid out promptly. Following that I also had a fault accident whereby my handbrake wasn't fully on and my car rolled off and hit another empty vehicle. Again, Go Skippy promptly and professionally sorted the damage of both vehicles. This year whilst my renewal quote was slightly higher that others, when I phoned them they matched the prices so I am in my second year with them! great service Reviewed on: 23rd September 2018

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Absolutly terrible experiance! Enough to give someone depression! GoSkippy are an insurance broker...unfortunatly the insurance company they use (Eldon insurance services) are absolutely awful! I had an accident and it took 6 months of arguing with 5 different parties to eventually get my car fixed. If I hadn't put in so much effort and argued, they would have happily returned it still broken (they actually ordered the garage to return it to me unfixed - it sat on my drive for a further month and a half after this....while I argued for it to be fixed comletely). There were several companies involved: GoSkippy (insurance broker) Eldon (insurance company) WNS (claims handling company) Somerset bridge insurance (underwriters) Patterson's (repair garage...this company was the only decent one who helped me through the process) Asside from the repair garage, none of these companies seemed to liaise with each other. They lied, were inconsistent with their own terms, made up rediculous statements due to non existent knowledge of cars and made every excuse to either shift the responsibility to another company or wriggle out using one of their some print clauses. In the end I had to get the financial ombusman involved and go and see lawyers and representatives to get advice on getting my car fixed and who was liable to fix it. Would NEVER EVER INSURE WITH THEM AGAIN Reviewed on: 20th September 2018

Good service for a reasonable price.

I've insured my car with GoSkippy as they were much cheaper than all the other companies. I was surprised to find out that they have really good customer service and good insurance packages. Reviewed on: 6th August 2018

Do not use this company you have been warned

DO NOT USE this insurance company you have been warned! Received a letter saying they are Cancelling my insurance within 7 days for no reason. There will also be a cancellation fee of £250. Please check there reviews they do this on a weekly Basis. I am currently taking this insurance company to the financial ombudsman Reviewed on: 24th July 2018

Cheapest out there

Reasonably priced and after a year they give you a quote cheaper than the year before unbelievable from an insurance company to actually want to keep you as a customer. Reviewed on: 17th July 2018

Rude and unhelpful

Tried to sort out no claims information which had been sent, they emailed a day before they were cancelling the policy to say the information was invalid. Phoned up to try and sort it out only to have a rude woman on the end of the phone. After a very hard phone call when asking what time they closed she hung up the phone. Wouldn’t recommend at all. Reviewed on: 21st June 2018

Please please do not use

Yes it’s much cheaper and at first we thought great then we had an accident they cancelled my insurance demanding payments , refused to send us what the payments were for apologised and said it was a mistake then one year later more and more threats , kept ringing customer service but not getting anywhere. As soon as something goes wrong they threaten you and put phone down on you. Pay a bit more it is so worth it Terrible terrible Reviewed on: 5th June 2018
