Insurance made easy

Easy to use app. Affordable price. Reviewed on: 22nd 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

Great multi car discount

Have used this provider several times over the 7 years of driving. They offer a great multi car discount which is perfect for me and my partner. Nearly always the cheapest provider for us. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Very easy and straightforward

Rang them up and my car insurance was done less than 5mins. very quick. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Superb Insurance Company!

Being with Hastings Direct has been a walk in the park compared to other insurance companies. They have an app that it's really easy to navigate and shows you what you are looking for in an easy way. I have contacted them directly on the phone and they have been helpful too. I would totally recommend them! Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Trustable Insurance

Cheapest around and dealt with my claim well

I’ve used Hastings for several years. When I’ve needed to claim (car stolen) it was dealt with well and I’ve been happy with their service. They almost always come out cheapest too. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Never encountered a problem before, easy to use and good customer service Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Ok but not brilliant

I use these for multi car cover when I phoned up for a renewal price I was told to shop around and phone them back after Thought multi car would mirror cars but it doesn’t and also they do t so temporary drivers you have to pay for a year Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023
