Hastings Direct Car insurance reviews (730)

Professional, prompt and efficient with very little cost to us

On changing our car insurance from our old car to the new car with over 3 months left on the insurance they were professional, prompt and efficient with very little cost to us. It was done within minutes and new documentation emailed to us within a day. No qualms or issues and found the person on the other end of the phone line very helpful and friendly. Recommend them to any one and will look to use them again in the future when we come to renew Reviewed on: 25th March 2015

Easy to communicate with

Very pleased with the service received from Hastings Direct car Insurance. After informing them off an accident was involved in they took it all in hand and sorted solicetors etc to deal with my claim. Also having the car assessed for road worthy. Reviewed on: 24th March 2015

Not interested in the customer, just the money

Everyone loves cheap insurance, Hastings sell the personal touch but as soon as you get someone else to deal with your claim, instead of helping you they help themselves and look at anyway possible to get some money out of you. Charges on pretty much anything. Reviewed on: 24th March 2015

excellent cover at a good price

Hastings car insurance is excellent at a good price,however you have to be careful about the add ons;in particular they charge a really high fee for taking out a car insurance policy over the phone-it certainly pays to go through the internet! Reviewed on: 24th March 2015
