Shocked and disgusted at Haven!! I had a minor accident and due to the incident etc I contacted them the following day to inform them. All was fine until several weeks later I've received a letter telling me that I have to pay Haven £500 because I did not report the accident in 24 hours. (No mention of that when I was on the phone to them) I have never heard something as ridiculous as this in my life. £50 I could eventually get my head around but not £500. They are a con, rip off you name it. We are in the middle of a pandemic, people losing their jobs left right and centre. I will NOT be paying anything cause I don't have it.

1. Very rude front desk services.
2. They provide wrong information and always lie.
3. They sell Haven Insurance (Haven Insurance, No.1 Grand Ocean Plaza, Ocean Village, Gibraltarare) are not helpful at all.
4. They do not close the claim in a normal time and always take long time to finalise the claim. So, they can charge higher premium from the non fault insurer.
5. There telephone communication is very poor and their call centre in India. Calls are replied from India. An Indian guy will receive the call and try to talk with Liverpool accent. Always they drop the connections without satisfactory reply. They do not reply email queries. So it is very hard and time consuming to get them.
6. They are not willing to give back extra premium what they charge from a non fault insurer, they promised.
7. They do not give information that if a non-fault insurer (whose claim they hold intentionally and do not finalise the claim) renew the insurance for less than one year will lose no claim bonus and will not get back the extra premium paid.
So, I do not recommend them at all. ( If anybody like to know more about their fishing and evil procedure, just email me for details to 'rubaiyat.ferdous@gmail.com). Please do not believe any 5 star reviews about them.

On 20/12/2019 I was waiting for my rider in front of Madame Tussauds. A Black Cab driver hit my car's right front side. I have sent the videos, Images and my job requested proof from Uber to support my claim. But the other driver did not submit any proof as he denied his fault. He is also a Haven Insurance client. So, they are not finalising the claim.

I was involved in a hit and run where the third party was clearly speeding on a 30 mph road, after the impact my black was nearly in 2 pieces down the middle, the dash and steering wheel all twisted, rear axle on the floor, wheel hub, detached. After impact third party abandoned their vehicle and ran off.
Even though the third party paid for damages straight away, haven are now indicating they are going to admit liability. Why u ask?
Apparently they are saying you cannot prove the difference Between a 30mph impact or a 70 mph impact, also the fact the third party driver broke the law, fled and abandoned the vehicle without exchanging any details, makes no difference to them.
Absolutely mind boggling, is this the kind of insurance company you want to be insured with???

Haven taxi insurance policy... Paying for a taxi insurance £2700 a year...
I had a none fault car accident. When I reported it to Haven they offered me the service to claim for the personal injury. What they didn’t say is that the insurance doesn’t cover for that!!
After 10 days and have received contracts to be signed from their solicitors company which I didn’t sign, then I received an email saying that the car insurance doesn’t cover for a personal injury claim. So if you trust you just sign the contract and you are not advised that you will have to pay for that service!!
On the other side, the car insurance offered me to collect my car to be repaired and drop off a courtesy car in the meantime.
They kept my car in the garage for 20 days to change a bumper!!! The first 2 weeks they hadn’t done anything to the car. Why? Because then they can charge to the Third Party all these days for the hire vehicle.
What car do you think they dropped off? The newest E Class, when my car is 8 years old. Why? Because they want to charge to the Third Party £350 a day for that car!! When you can get that car for £250-300 a week!!.
When I told them to collect the hire vehicle after a week time to keep it, as I didn’t need it anymore, they made it so difficult and asking me so many questions about why I didn’t need the car longer? So rude stuff who almost didn’t allow me to give back the car in a different location which was more convenient for me. As I couldn’t to be at home all day waiting for them to come and collect the car. They just wanted to charge more and more to the Third Party.

You have a car accident and then they call you every day to try to drop off the courtesy car to start getting money. I had to tell them every day during 3 weeks that I didn’t need the car yet as I was injured and I wasn’t driving at all.
When they asked me if I could pay for a hire vehicle I told them that I couldn’t and I said to them that I had enough expenses with my own car. I couldn’t afford more expenses.
Now it’s almost 3 months since the car accident happened, they are still asking me to prove that I can pay for that car!! when I already told them that I couldn’t pay for another car!! And even they told me all times that the third party will pay for that!!
Why did they drop off that new car if my car worths £4000?? Why do they make everything so difficult?? Why didn’t they drop off a cheap car for me when I told them that I couldn’t afford to pay for another car!!.
I’ve never seen a service like that in my life and I drive for 24 years.
This is the service you get with this insurance.

I’ve been insured with haven for my taxi last two years. First year they charged me £3200 and second year for 2700. End of my second year I made a claim due to electronics caught fire. I had comprehensive insurance but they refused to give me the courtesy car stating it’s not included in comprehensive insurance?? My car is worth £6000 and after six weeks hassle they offered me £2800 for my car. Upon protest, they said you can make formal complaint which will take up to six weeks. I’m without work and can’t wait any longer. So I took the money and bought another car and insured with some other company which despite me making claim recently offered me £2475 for a year with the courtesy car included in case of any accident. Avoid these fraudsters!

Paying a fully comprehensive insurance, made a claim which they authorised with Totoya, now they are not paying me. They dont want to pass on phone to a manager either. I've been so stressed since my car part was stolen and they have tripled the stress, my car is my livelihood and they are aware of it and dont care. I wish I had read all these reviews before insuring my car with them. They say one thing and do another, giving me incorrect information. Please read all reviews before even taking out a policy with them!!!!

I have had this policy for months now.. All of a sudden they cancel my policy because my partner used my telephone number on the quote. My partners policy cancelled also. When i called multiple times to explain (taking time off work way past my lunch break) they have reinstated both policies but only for 1 WEEK. Then they send me a letter asking to provide countless documents to confirm my insurance. Mind you both me and my partner have already done this. And given me 7 days from the date of the letter to respond so by the time the letter arrived i now have two days left or my policy will be cancelled. Accused of fraud, because me and my partner used the same telephone number. 2nd week Been trying to sort this out and caused anxiety and stress for both of us,. Stay away from the company, cant imagine what would happen if we got in an accident at this rate we would both be accused of fraud and god knows what else.

My fathers car got stolen outside my house. They refuse to pay money for the car because I was a previous owner of the car and I was still paying finance on the car. The V5 logbook was in my father's name, he was only one insured driver of this car and he provided bank statements showing payments being taken by them. All this was not enough... They made assumptions that my father was not at my address when the car was stolen which is complete lies. On the they of burglary the police attended the house and he was there. Please avoid this company !!!!!! My father case is delt by financial ombudsman now.
