Halifax Car insurance reviews (88)

Poor service and response on no blame claim

1
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

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

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

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

Cancel your insurance for no reason other than their own imcompetency

1
Absolute nightmare so far. Joined halifax after them coming out most competitive on comparethemarket.com… After joining i was asked to provide my 3 yrs NCB which i did and had confirmation back that this was accepted. 3 weeks later i get a letter stating they want a range of different photos of driving licenses, utility bills and other documentation of which i have never been requested to do by any other provider before. Only for jobs have i had to provide so much information. I then called in and was told by a foreign call centre my insurance is being cancelled in 4 days of failed proof of NCB?! Now having to call tomorrow when im supposed to be working to sort this mess out. Seems like their departments dont communicate and should maybe stick to banking. Could of potentially been driving around uninsured with children. Reviewed on: 18th December 2022

Not Halifax just a front !

Some 3 weeks after a no fault rear end bump I am still waiting for an estimate and repair. Process very confusing and not actually dealing with the Halifax but Enterprise Car Hire and an on line Claim Management Company App.....plus being hounded to make personal injury claim by Minster Law - Halifax are nowhere to be seen in this process. A switch is coming at renewal ! Reviewed on: 2nd September 2022

Terrible Service

1
Contacted Halifax to change my car. Informed my insurer wouldn’t insure my new car. Charged £30 to cancel my policy, despite only having 1 month left and owing £14. Tries to dispute charge but after 2 calls of over 2 hours gave up. Avoid would be my advice! Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Shocking. Avoid.

Someone drove in to the side of me and wrote my car off. She admitted liability to her insurance so should have been straight forward but this has been the worst experience ever. Constantly being told conflicting information. Having to chase people myself as not hearing back from anyone. 4 weeks later and still not sorted. Literally no-one has a clue what is going on.
