GoSkippy Car insurance reviews (247)

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.

Quick to add fees and send cancellation letters

Sent me threatening letters that they were gonna cancel my insurance. The offence you might ask... Spelling a name wrong Reviewed on: 24th January 2024

Do Not Use this company.

Do Not Use this company. They cancelled the policy and then had the audacity to tell them I owed nearly £200 due to it being cancelled. I’m convinced this a scam business.. appalling, aggressive tactics. They employed debt collectors and have harassed me ever since. Reviewed on: 17th January 2024

Awful company DO NOT use.

Awful company DO NOT use. Tried to charge over £800 altogether for one months car insurance. Had cancelled insurance before agreeing to a credit agreement by the specified date given as i didn't need to insure my 17 yr old anymore. Yet they are proceeding to try and charge me excessive cancellation fees rather than just the standard £75 cancellation. They use premium credit. DO NOT USE. Reviewed on: 14th January 2024

Should be called 'Go SLIPPY' SCAMMERS!

I came through a comparison website, i paid the premium in full on their website but was unable to change my registration number so i rang them, came through to a call centre in India when i got this snotty stuck up woman. They wouldnt change my reg without charging me further, i asked to speak with a manager and i was refused to be transferred so i cancelled the policy but they wouldnt refund the full amount so i lost £150!

Terrible product and service.

Terrible product and service. They added a lot of charges that are hidden in the policy documents, and are cleverly worded so they are slightly different in various places. Read the genuine reviews carefully. They clearly pay for review to keep their score high. Reviewed on: 7th January 2024

DONT USE SKIPPY INSURANCE

DONT USE SKIPPY INSURANCE Had the policy that started on the 21 12 2023. I believe That I had added my work usage, I was shocked that in in a short period of time 2/1/2024 I was charged £35 admin fee to amended. Which I amended my self on line. not a happy customer Date of experience: 03 January 2024 Reviewed on: 4th January 2024

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
