Review of the GoSkippy, Car insurance:

I know it's a bit of a long review but worth the read.

I received my 2024 van renewal which was £649.36 (last year price £574.04) and after checking over documents I noticed that I had only 1 yrs NCB showing on my renewal policy documents. I contacted Go Skippy helpline on 02/11/2024 to advise that I will have 3 yrs at end of policy, Call handler was not very pleasant to speak with but eventually agreed to change NCB to the 3 yrs. I asked what difference this would make to my premium, I was told that it made no difference, I found this a bit strange but agreed to renew with for another year, I was emailed showing amended 3 yrs NCB and total premium was £649.36 and was happy to proceed. On 04/11/2024 (2 days later) I received an email saying thank you for renewing with Go Skippy and noticed the total price was now £819.44, I spent a couple of hours trying to contact helpline but they didn’t answer. I phoned the next day on 05/11/2024, I again found the call handler to be aggressive, He explained that the price hike would have been caused with my 02/011/2024 phone call to amend my NCB from 1 yr to 3 yr; I was blown away with this statement to be honest. I told him that I had received an updated email after the first call and everything was the same albeit the amended NCB, I reminded him that I still have this email and he then became apologetic and asked to put me on hold so that he could look into this. The call handler then came back and said that he didn’t know why this could have happened but will now need to re-quote me for this year; Strangely enough we now have the total price of £819.44 for this year. By this time I have had enough and advised him that I can’t accept this updated quote and will not be renewing with them this year, He again apologized and said he was sorry this happened, I replied “and so you should be” I asked if he could cancel any payment request with my card holder as it was now showing that there was a pending transaction for £819.44 but unfortunately you cannot cancel a pending payment request with your bank. I was told that I will be given a refund but will have to wait 3-5 days for this. To sum everything up, if I hadn’t noticed the new total amount requested on the last email received then I would have been even more upset than what I am just now. Surely you don’t treat all your customers like this? or think that everyone is stupid, vulnerable or can be intimidated by your aggressive call handlers. Reviewed on: 5th November 2024

Bunch of crooks

They made me cancel my insurance because it turned out that my other named driver held their licence for LONGER than I’d told them. Then theyre only giving back £434 out of £620 that I paid them. (Which Im still waiting for) Could be worse though. Imagine WORKING there. Reviewed on: 17th April 2025

I sold my old car and goskippy don't want to insure my new car which is toyota rav4 and said it is a high risk. People insure their belongings because of the risk that something might happen someday. these people want the insurance money and dont want the risk. I guess it is better to avoid goskippy insurance.

Please avoid this company. Reviewed on: 9th April 2025

Avoid this shambles

Absolute joke of an organisation, renewal quote almost £200 higher than last year. Also almost £200 higher than they quoted as a new customer, attempted to get this sorted over the phone and frankly haven't heard anyone less interested in maintaining custom. Thought I'd email, stated same however I can check if eligible for a discount, call again. No not eligible, still not interested in matching their own quotation. I cannot imagine how bad the service would be if you legitimately needed them, I'll be paying more for an actual insurance organisation not this joke. Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

I recently had a frustrating experience with this insurance provider that I feel compelled to share. I attempted to change my car on my existing policy, but they outright refused to insure the new vehicle. Consequently, I had no choice but to cancel my policy, which resulted in an unexpected cancellation fee of £100 along with additional charges, leading to a total loss of £180 in just one month. Moreover, their policy dictates that refunds are processed only after a 28-day waiting period post-cancellation, which means they are holding onto my money for no valid reason. This lack of accountability is incredibly disappointing. Additionally, I found the customer service to be far from satisfactory. The representative I spoke with was not only unhelpful but also quite rude, which only compounded my frustration. Overall, I strongly advise against using this insurance company. The lack of support, unreasonable fees, and poor customer service make it a choice I deeply regret. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere for your insurance needs. Reviewed on: 13th March 2025

Awful customer care and extortionate prices.

Awful customer care and extortionate prices. Avoid at all costs trustpilot and their own website rate them at four out of five. Do not take this as genuine, condescending customer care assistant and poor supervisor. Reviewed on: 30th January 2025
