Review of the Haven, Car Insurance:

Scammed out of my insurance

Took out haven insurance on my mercedes sprinter luton at a valuation of £8000 last year renewed it this year and my van was stolen so total loss I've received a email today saying that they have valued my van and its £2450 this is a 2015 sprinter luton van how can they get away with this that is disappointing as I will not get a van anywhere for that money not even damaged or scrap I've looked on the Internet and can't find one cheaper than £6000 Reviewed on: 9th December 2023

Thieves, scams, keep away!

Thieves, scams, keep away! Very unprofessional, took my car to total loss while in very good working condition, and while I insisted I wanted to keep the car as why they offered me was very low and after removing excess fee I could not even buy a car at all. Only interested in total loss so they can bring down the value tremendously and reduce the excess fee too so you are left with peanuts. After 2 months still nothing has been received in my account. They are rude, don’t reply to your emails and drop the line on purpose, while leave you hanging with no timeframe! Reviewed on: 15th June 2024

Avoid at all costs!!

I had my insurance with Haven for 2 years with no problem. I got a new plate all transfered by DVLA, I tried to update on their portal but it would not let me and it just said policy active. I was stopped by the Police a few months ago and after a conversation with the insurance company they let me go and said it must just be a computer glitch. I have just been pulled over by a Police officer again and after he finally got through to them they said that as of now they will terminate my contract meaning I will not be insured as of tomorrow. I am absolutely disgusted with the lack of communication on their part as I have never at any stage been told to contact them. I put my trust in their portal to be designed in a way that is reliable to notify customers to contact them if there is something that is not acceptable by their company terms. It has done me a favour as I have now been insured by a company that has direct contact and an app that has direct chat with a company rep. Awfully disappointed at the way they handled this but they have just lost a customer who would have remained loyal for the long haul! Reviewed on: 9th April 2024

Refused to send assistance.

Refused to send assistance. I am stuck in mud next to a big ditch. They say they don't cover this and have left me stranded in the middle of nowhere. I've got no food or water. No shops for miles. My vans sinking in to the ditch and I have nobody else to help me. I will be cancelling the breakdown cover with these and they will be refunding me for what I've already paid and I will look for cover that doesn't leave people stranded in the middle of nowhere without food or water to survive and no hope of getting out.

I had my insurance with them, would t renew the 2nd year and gave no reason said I don't meet the criteria to be insured by them again, even though my licence is clean, spoke to someone who worked for them and they won't re insure if the price is goimg to drop, scammers Reviewed on: 12th January 2024

unprofessional scammers

collected car for glass repair after attempted theft - sold it for profit with its entire content, did not communicate that this had happened and pretended car was being repaired. Not settled the claim after 4 months to the incident. should have FCA licence removed and be investigated Reviewed on: 1st November 2023

Do not use (Con men)

Do not use Acorn/Haven insurance people, I insured my Grandsons 1st car with them at a cost of £2500 for a Vauxhall Corsa a couple of months ago. We agreed a value of £9500, Unfortunately he had a bump and the car was written off, there now telling me it was valued at £7275 on there system which is impossible I couldn't even buy one for that. (they'll of charged the fee on my valuation), Top and bottom of it is that's all there prepared to pay minus the £1100 excess, so keep away from this rip off company, (Con Men) Reviewed on: 11th October 2023

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

Pethatic Insurance Company

Insurance has been bugging me for a month since I have contacted them for my taxi claim but till today 03-07-2023 they lying. I am jobless since I had an accident. BMW Bodyshop sent them the quotation to insurance for approval and they are not confirming it. Upon my numerous contacts with insurance, they said we have sent the approval but in fact, it's not because BMW said we have not received the approval from insurance despite sending them reminders till today. 03.07.02023 Reviewed on: 3rd July 2023
