Hastings Direct is fine

I've been with Hastings Direct for a few years and never had any problems. As with most car insurance companies, they put up the renewal price every year and are haggled down again, which doesn't show loyal customers much respect or thanks, but are otherwise good. Reviewed on: 22nd September 2018
