Review of the GoSkippy, Car insurance:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Terrible company and I regret ever taking a policy with them. I sent the documents requested and after a week for an email saying they needed the driving license of the insured parties. So I sent them a photo of each. Days later I get an email saying they can't accept a photo and that I need to provide the licence numbers which I did. Days later I got another saying they needed licence check codes. I was starting to get irritated by now. So I sent them in as requested only to ge... t another email back a couple of days later saying that they needed the driving licence numbers to be able to use the check codes. All of this information should have been provided in one email and it would have saved a lot of time and frustration. I sent a screenshot of my no claims as they requested proof. However they emailed to say they don't accept screenshots and I had until 5PM that day to provide a PDF or provide them with my old insurers details and old policy number so they could verify it themselves which I did. I was them told they weren't able to contact my previous insurer and I must get PDF. I called my old insurers again to be told GoSkippy has never een tried to contact them to verify my no claims. They couldn't send me a PDF as they don't send emails and I had to wait for it to be loaded onto my online portal. However they closed at 2PM so when it wasn't loaded in time I had to call GoSkippy yet again to explain. They said they'd extend the cancellation until Tuesday and would call me and then put me on a joint call with my old insurers to verbally confirm my no claims. They couldn't get through to me as my number was being posted to a new SIM card. However they emailed to say that they had contacted my old insurers and they had confirmed my no claims and they now had all the information they needed. Except very late this afternoon I get a text saying mist call then urgently as there was an outstanding query on my account. After being on hold I was told they just wanted to confirm my number! This company is beyond a joke. Their customer service is rubbish and I have been so close to cancelling my policy and going with a more well known company. They also have a foreign call centre and the calls are deafening as you can hear the other advisors talking loudly close by - including being able to hear other people's personal details! So they may be cheap but you pay for it with terrible service from some overcrowded sweat shop in India. You have been warned! Reviewed on: 5th August 2024
