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

AVOID! Financial pyramide, hidden costs!

Hidden fees, not answering emails, if so - after a week using excel/word/ prepared templates. Charging fees for everithing and offering nothing. Reviewed on: 24th November 2023

Useless

As someone said earlier, they are a rip off!! Very nice indeed, before you have to cancel a policy. Why would you not think that a household would have more than one car? Providing bad service to one person could mean you lose the business of other 2 or 3vehicles. We sold the vehicle that we had the insurance on it and they want £175 cancellation fee. All admin fees. Absolut rip off! We have other 2 vehicles registered with them, safe to say we will wait for the insurance to end and we will never eve use them again. Scammers...not customer friendly, would and will not recommend! Don't even bother to reply with the same s**t that you reply just to write something down. As it's absolutely useless to say "please contact us to come to a resolution", you should've done that on the phone earlier. Reviewed on: 18th November 2023

Bunch of robbing thieves

Asking for 164£ after they decided to cancel my policy due to not providing driving licence verification, apparently they charge a direct debit set-up fee which I don't think is even legal Reviewed on: 16th November 2023

Huge cancellation fee

Asked for documents a month into the policy (should have been asked from the start) that I could not provide in time. Charged nearly £100 for cancellation even though it stated on the policy it would be less. Reviewed on: 27th October 2023

HONEST REVIEW PLEASE READ - PLEASE AVOID

My car was stolen which left us devastated as we have disability in the family and relied on our car. GoSkippy refused to provide a courtesy car, said had my car been in an accident/caught fire they would have provided one but not if stolen even though I had taken out comprehensive cover with courtesy car. I had asked to speak to a manager and was put from department to department over a four hour period. In the end I was put on hold, got to around 50 minutes on the queue and then I simply gave up as I was already very distressed with what happened and GoSkippy made it worse. You may wonder why I took out a policy with them, I use to insure with bigger players but having not made a claim for over 10 years and with the cost of living, I decided to try a cheaper option which I am now regretting. Don't be fooled by Defaqto ratings like I was. I would honestly advise you to avoid GoSkippy based on my real experience and find another provider that will stand by you in your hour of need.
