Review of the GoSkippy, Car Insurance:

Cheap insurance company and true value of your monay.

Cheap insurance company and true value of your monay. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Ridiculous cancellation fees.

Ridiculous cancellation fees. Send you threatening letters. Just days after you cancel your policy. One you the worst companies I have ever dealt with. Would advise anyone to steer well clear. Cheap and cheerful. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2024

I recently purchased insurance from them, but after 40 days, I requested an upgrade to business insurance for 2000 miles annually. Unfortunately, they informed me that they do not offer such coverage. When I asked to cancel, they charged me £320 for cancellations. I'm disappointed with their service and would advise others to be cautious when dealing with them. Reviewed on: 8th March 2024

Affordable and easy to use

Went with GoSkippy as they offered a good price fully comprehensive and no black box, it’s not the cheapest given this is only my second year of driving however compared to my first year it was a great price. No claims made yet so I can’t review on that but they have been great so far Reviewed on: 6th March 2024

The worst company on the planet from what I read.

I rang go skippy to change the vehicle on my policy.

I rang go skippy to change the vehicle on my policy. They gave me a snall increased price of £5.34 plus £35 admin fee. They were about to take payment when the lady said they would have to refer this back to the insurer and couldn't cover me for 24hrs. I explained that in 24hrs time I was picking up my new car and would need the car to he covered but they said there was nothing they could do. I rang the insurance company watford insurance company and they informed me that go skippy should just do the change over. Got back intouch with go shippy and they have now informed me it's going to take 48hrs to change the car on the policy. I asked them to cancel the policy but they wanted £135 in cancellation fees and I wouldn't receive eneything back. They are just a set of liars and don't help customers at all and I have sent a complaint of to the financial ombudsman Stay well clear of these cowboys cos they just feed you lies and give you the runaround Date of experience: 01 February 2024 Reviewed on: 1st February 2024

Rip off company

Someone went into the back of me on 29/12/23. Wrote my car off.GoSkippy uncontactable so I informed them via online on their website. On 3/1/24 the other person's insurance company settled my claim and collected my car to be destroyed. GoSkippy still not contacted me. I informed DVLA of the car and received a letter to state I no longer owned the car. On 8/1/24 GoSkippy collected my monthly direct debit. I cancelled my further direct debits as I no longer had the car and once again tried to contact GoSkippy. They eventually got in touch with me on 10/1/24. Customer service is abysmal, I was passed from one person to the next repeating over and over that the case was closed by the other insurance company and I had received my payout. That my direct debits were cancelled due to not having ownership of the car. I'm now receiving emails and letters demanding £89 cancellation fee and threatening me with debt collectors. Are these people for real? Who wouldn't cancel their policy when they no longer own the car and the car no longer exists through no fault of their own. This company is a rip off. Stay well clear.
