Review of the GoSkippy, Car insurance:

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

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

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

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.

Company to avoid

Worst company ever avoid I hade Accident with they insured driver she accepted liability now goskippy telling me to claim on your own company Reviewed on: 11th December 2023

Once upon a rip off

I had been insured through Go Skippy for the past 8 years (one car 6 years , two years second car and a 7 year no claims discount, just recently i had no notification my policy needed renewing. 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
