Review of the Halifax, Car Insurance:

Money owed overdue from Halifax

I am waiting for a refund of the owed car insurance and this is overdue. Despite numerous call during the day, I am left on hold and unable to speak to anyone. This is becoming very stressful. Reviewed on: 4th January 2024

Wow love it

Love the feature of automatic built in no claims years showing on paper work Reviewed on: 31st August 2023

Simple, Easy and clear

When I switched several years ago, I was expecting lengthy questioning but it was easy , straightforward, and simple. There is always a person on the end of the phone, and pricing is very competitive Great customer service Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Inflexible

They don't appear to be interested in insuring anything not completely standard. Reviewed on: 18th August 2023

Dismal and Confusing System

Had an accident other person admitted liability and also had witness all person on phone seemed to want to do was for me to make as many claims as possible, very confusing system as having to deal with so many different companies being told claim is on hold due to missing information from my insurers, so still awaiting a call to say when my car will be repaired Reviewed on: 17th July 2023

Poor service and response on no blame claim

Our car had a damage and claim was raised 4 days ago and since then we have been transferred from company to company. No body rang back and on our enquiry we are given numbers who pass us to another number with no results. On questioning Halifax insurance is not taking any responsibility. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Conned

I purchased a new car on 26th May. I was insured with Halifax with my old car. I thought it would be a simple process to upgrade the insurance to my new car. I phoned them on the 25th for a new quote which turned out to be fair. Only £22 more than other comparison sites. They saved the quote for me for the following day. When I called them on the 26th the price had risen by £200. I queried this and was told that was the price that was saved from the day before. I reluctantly took the insurance as I work away as a driver and wasn’t in a position to search and pay for an alternative. I explained that I would cancel the policy at the earliest opportunity which I have done today 30th. For this pleasure I will be charged £58. Buyers beware. Reviewed on: 30th May 2023

Shocking

Non fault claim reported 05/05/23 I am constantly having to chase for updates. Been on hold for over an hour. Appalling non existent customer service Reviewed on: 25th May 2023

please find another car insurance

my god where do I start, I Had a car accident in December, and now you do not deal directly with Halifax but a second party, and if you are like me even a third-party insurance company, The third party insurance company were all over me because they thought there might be a claim against the other party in the accident, There questions to me have you got any neck injuries, My reply was no, they asked what about if you tilt your head back, again I said no, what about if you put your hands in the air and wave them about, yeh seriously, Now in my case neither of us admitted we were at fault, So in realty classed as an accident 50/50 the 3rd party insurance company that Halifax had appointed to me decided it was no interest to them {they could not make big monies}They told me it would be referred back to my main insurance company this was March 2023 {Accident Dec 22} Ok now in May 23 my car was written off in Dec 22, Tried today to see if there was an update 4of the 5 2023 halifax said you have to get in touch with party first dealing with your claim , they inturn said no not us put me in touch with another call centre could not realy understand them but they could me I think, they put me in contact with another call centre where I had the option of them calling me back chose that option and yes called me back , Went through all what I have just said and put the phone down on me, The moral of the story just because you trust a brand does not mean they are good at diversing into other areas Reviewed on: 4th May 2023

Good value Insurance

Used them for one year to insure my car. Then had a no blame accident. Difficult to deal with multiple foreign accents in claim handling department otherwise would have continued using them Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Won't honour a no fault incident

Happy to take your money but when you notify them and a court backs you they don't want to know. They would accept I wasn't at fault. Reviewed on: 28th December 2022
