Review of the Hastings Direct, Car insurance:

View on product page

Felt ripped off

I have used Hastings regularly, but do keep an eye on the other prices out there. I had a car insurance running and moved area from Yorkshire to Merseyside which seemed to double my monthly premium. I left the insurance as it was as I assumed that if I cancelled, they would sting me with some fee. Ive got a good driving history and drive a Hyudaii i10, so very basic. On renewal, the premium was around the £470 mark. I rang to cancel and the assistant (as they do) went off and came back with a figure of £35 a month and said shall we put this in place now. I said no, you need to tell me what the whole premium is, i.e. over 10 or 12 months etc. So they had managed to knock over a £100 pounds off what was a high price. I said no and told her thatI felt that they had ripped me off over the last year. I had found a policy through Saga for around £270, but went through topcashbackand got it for £235 and with a £30 cash back (although still waiting for this) so great result - less than half of Hastings price!
