Review of the Haven, Car Insurance:

I'm so confused

I signed up with haven insurance through got you covered, I recently had a non fault claim with them..... while waiting for my car to be repaired I have had two mechanics check to see if repairable and they have said yes.....my car wasn't checked by insurance repair people and they've just said it's written off although confirmed that it's possible to fix......no options given to me but that copart will come to take my car, and from my car value which is £1.695 they are taking off money from that which I'm guessing it will be near to nothing I will receive. No car after a accident they confirmed was 100% not my fault and lost money after paying over £3.000 in insurance. This message is to help someone else as I can see I have been scammed and left with nothing. Reviewed on: 20th September 2023

What a bunch of crooks!!!!

There is simply nothing positive to say, from start to hopefully finished with them soon. Just stay away. There are better options out there. Companies like this should legally not be allowed to exist. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Never use Haven.They are awful scheming cheats (in my opinion) stated for legal reasons

I will keep updating this through my legal battle that is just commencing. My vehicle was stolen and recovered and they have basically tried to rip me off by offering in settlement half the value of my vehicle. I want it fixed but they claim the fixing cost more than the write off price but that only because they value the vehicle so low. In addition their service is absolutely atrocious. I have to chase every single time. They never call back. I have rejected their ridiculous settle offer and am taking the matter trough the Financial Ombudsman but I expect I'll have to end up taking this to the court. Be extra aware if you are a taxi driver as they do not honor their hire car commitment and for every day your car is off the road you lose money. Mine has been off the road for 7 weeks now so I will make a claim for lose of earning too. This is a terrible company to do business with. Do yourself a favor and pay a little more for a reputable insurance company (if such a thing exists that is) Reviewed on: 21st October 2019

Not happy with the level of service

I was hit by Haven insurance client and my car is now write off. I have requested my settlement letter so many times and I’m getting no reply’s what so ever. My GAP insurance needs this letter for me to continue with my claim. I drive for a living and need to buy a new car. How long more have I got to wait? You have already paid out to my vehicle management company the full amount into their account so why can’t you send me my settlement letter. I will take this case further until I receive what I need in paper. This level of service I’m getting is terrible I will not be recommending haven to anyone in the near future.

I got a fine because of them

Never recommend! Don’t trust ! I wanted to leave Romania and go to Bulgaria and the frontier police stopped me saying that I’m not insured, they took my number plates and the certificate of the car and fine me , haven didn’t ever told us we are not insured in the system for 48h after renewal of the policy !

non fault claim,

idiots sent it to advanced car repairs in chesterfield at my request haven has such bad feedback and customer services that they wanted money upfront to repair car, thats how bad this company actually is, then midway through claim bare in mind there client hit our car outside house, and drove off. then pissed us about. 2 weeks later car still not touched even changed adviser who was dealing with us not a good way to deal with customers. why change from one adviser to another midway through. and leave us high and dry,, carrys on be taking legal action with our insurance company against client who hit us ,and haven for pissin us about. " AVOID F'IN USELESS." Reviewed on: 22nd August 2019

Worst company ever

Would never recommend this company to any one the staff are a nightmare to deal with took weeks to actually sort my claim out, everytime I rang I kept getting passed on to other departments no one seemed to know anything about my claim haven arranged for my burnt out car to be recovered from the side of the motorway after it caught fire then I called them 2 days later to see what was going on and they hadn't even got a record of me making a claim or the fact they themselves had arranged the recovery of my car the staff need to be re trained as they really dont know what they are doing they then told me they wanted proof of the car being on fire so I sent them all the photos which then I was told they didn't need because the bloke that recovered my car for the insurance company had already sent them all the pictures this company made a stressful time 10 times worse by not doing there job properly would never ever use them again even if they were the cheapest company around u get what u pay for which was a poor piss quality service Reviewed on: 11th April 2019

Very poor service not recommend to anyone.

Company based on Giblartar very poor service. Don't buy insurance with Haven only you get problem and very rude pepole over phone. I spoke with mr Anthony J. In my opinion sound like scumy boy. If only more people could share opinion about them. Feel free to share opinion about Haven thru social media etc. I'll do. Reviewed on: 12th February 2019
