One of the best

All insurance is a rip off but after dealing with many, Hastings has to be one of the best for reliability, customer care and ease of use. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Great value, great company

I have been with Hastings Direct for 4 years now and have never had a reason to change. Their car insurance is great value for money, their app is so simple and easy to use and their customer service is super quick and very helpful. Every time I call I’m usually through to someone within seconds. I highly recommend using Hastings Direct. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Big premium increase

The renewal price was around 50% more than last year which I think is excessive as I haven't made any claims. I checked online but it was the same everywhere else so I stayed with Hastings Direct. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023
