Worst experience

Got into an accident where the other driver was at fault and go skippy have not provided a courtesy car, they have not gotten my car repaired, as the other driver is with their insurance company and is not answering the phone! They want me to pay my excess of £850, instead of holding the other driver liable! I’ve never had worse insurance from an insurer in all my time as a driver! Reviewed on: 2nd January 2024

Avoid!!!!!!!

Run away as fast as you can ! Do not go with this insurance company!! What a nightmare this sh*t go skippy is. Reviewed on: 20th December 2023

Add ons!!

Seemed the cheapest car insurance for a sort of new male driver, then came the 'add ons'! Only discovered when I saw the £50 increase in the direct debit payment! I then needed to change my address which they said would cost a further £870!! Nope! Going to Admiral which is half the monthly cost at my new address and a lot lower deposit. If they try and rinse me with a 'cancellation' fee, they will have to deal with my solicitor. Nothing but a rip off company. Reviewed on: 20th December 2023

Save yourself. Runaway.

Crap customer service. Nothing good to offer. Reviewed on: 19th December 2023

Punitive cancellation charges

Punitive cancellation charges. I paid over £400 annual insurance premium on 17/10. Just cancelled the policy less than 2 months later (received a motability car for my disabled daughter so no longer need the car) and only received a refund of just over £200. So I've paid circa £200 for 6 weeks insurance. I'm sure the response will be that it's written in the Policy documents, but i still feel the cancellation fee is excessive.

When i discovered it had ran out i immediately contacted to renew, i was told its two late and would now need to start new policy i was told as the old policy had lapse im now a high risk client . ??? New policy shot up over £1300 to £2100 per year im 71 year old one accident in 51 years of good safe driving Its time the insurence companies need to be licenced through the gaming and betting commission like all high street book makers Reviewed on: 28th November 2023

Displeasure with GoSkippy Car Insurance and High Cancellation Fee

Dear GoSkippy Customer Service, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the car insurance service provided by GoSkippy. My experience has been marred by an issue concerning the cancellation fee, which I find unreasonably high and, unfortunately, was not made clear to me at the beginning of the policy. While I understand that insurance policies come with terms and conditions, the cancellation fee charged by GoSkippy was not adequately communicated during the initial stages of setting up my policy. This lack of transparency has left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. The essence of insurance is to provide peace of mind and financial protection, but I feel that the imposition of a significant and seemingly hidden cancellation fee contradicts the principles of fair and open customer service. I believe that clear communication is crucial in establishing trust between a service provider and its customers. Had I been made aware of the cancellation fee and its magnitude from the outset, I would have been in a better position to make an informed decision about my insurance provider. I strongly urge GoSkippy to reconsider its cancellation fee policy and improve transparency by ensuring that all fees and charges are clearly disclosed to customers during the purchasing process. This would contribute to a more positive customer experience and foster trust in the brand. While I appreciate the need for policies and fees, the current situation has left me dissatisfied, and I hope that GoSkippy takes customer feedback seriously to improve its services in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Reviewed on: 27th November 2023
