GoSkippy Car insurance reviews (249)

Beware Excess charges

i obtained a quote through comparethemarket.com using my phone. Compared to other providers this policy appeared to be the cheapest. Once back home I set about providing the evidence required for no claims discount. It turned out that I had made a mistake and that I had more years discount than I had indicated on the web-site. You may have thought that this would have reduced the policy but GoSkippy increased the policy by over £300. The charges for cancelation were also significant. I'm now very much out of pocket and would not recommend this company for any type of insurance products. I have tried to submit a complaint and their processes are very poor, offering to call me back and then failing to call me, all the time threatening debt collectors. Reviewed on: 8th October 2018

Avoid

No customer service had to pay over 3 x the original quote cancelled whilst I was on holiday, avoid the hassle and buy elsewhere Reviewed on: 3rd October 2018

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

There renewal costs are not competitive and customer services need to be improved on Reviewed on: 27th August 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
