Review of the Haven, Car Insurance:

Rip Off - beware of the small print!

Took out car insurance for my son through Haven, via Acorn Insurance - his first policy as a new driver, included a "Black Box". The box monitored his driving habits, which isn't such a bad thing, but he also had limited mileage allowed, and fines of 15p per mile for exceeding his allowance. Tried to up the mileage allowance as he had change places of work and had to travel further - but their additional costs for doing this were prohibitive - so had to stump up an additional £50 per month for the additional mileage he was covering. Have now CANCELLED the policy as have found an alternative insurer who is over £1000 less per year AND with no black box or additional charges. Worth the hundreds of pounds Haven charged for cancelling their policy!!! Reviewed on: 7th September 2022

Stay away from this company

Stay away from this unprofessional company. I was misled at the beginning of the policy and I have been in contact with them in regards to this and they are totally dismissive of this issue. They are very misleading and deceitful, I have experienced setbacks due to this company. Avoid at all costs. Reviewed on: 6th February 2023

Deceived by this company

Please be aware people, I took out motor trade polciy with this company and some of the details they provided me with were false and deceiving and as a result I being penalised. I will not leave this matter and I will take it all the way to court to get justice. I was advised as a motor trader I do not need to add my trade car on the mid database just the peronsal cars which later on I find out this is not the case. They are full of lies and they will deceive you as a business. Please stay away at all costs. Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

Fraud

Fraud of a company, only want to TL the vehicle when its perfectly repairable as an engineer said that they called out but still wanna TL and want to take my excess when its easily proven not my fault. Accident was back last 6 months and its still going on. Customer service is crap and if you ask for a manger or supervisor apparently they don't take customer calls. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2022

Number one car insurance never ever problem this company. Reviewed on: 11th October 2022

Shocking customer service and very rude approach with customer

I never been had a experience with any other insurance companies. Had a issue which is not my fault. But still they ask 100’s questions, to find how to deny the the claim. Unethical and unprofessional staffs. Very rude approach. Never been recommended anyone. Reviewed on: 21st August 2022

Scam robbed me blind

I will share I took out a policy on 29/04/2021 The emailed to say it’s been cancelled 09/05/2021 I rung them to ask what’s going on. They told me they have sent a letter. (Not received) there no way to tell me what they wanted. When I asked for proof of this letter she kept saying I will send you another (but they don’t know what they wanted ) They said we will refund but with fees I’m down just over £200 and the payment won’t be there for up to 14 days. This is a complete scam I will keep reporting I will keep emailing and Ringing until I get a full refund. DO NOT USE. No email No phone call. No letters The only proof I got the van was even insured was the fact she sent it to me today when I kicked off and asked for the business terms. Funny thing that one got through fine. Reviewed on: 9th May 2022

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!

The service from this company was very poor, shocking even. They passed me from pillar to post claiming I need to get in touch with my insurance broker for particular information relating to a theft claim. I was to later find out that they had all the information required on hand and were simply dragging their feet! My car was stolen, the claim took 8 weeks to process, and I was then paid £10,000 less than the market value of the car. With the ridiculously short payout, I cannot go out and buy the same vehicle again. They would also not replace the vehicle with a like for like even though this is stated as a service they offer on the front of their website!!! STAY AWAY!!! THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD!!!
