Early Auto Renewal Scam! Do Not Use

1 week before my renewal date I received a notice stating that I have electronically signed a renewal and documents are being sent out. NO notification or quotes, like other companies do. The email came at 7:15pm I read it and responded straightaway. 15 mins later I got an email saying 'sorry we no longer receive emails to this address' I cannot get an email to address to reply to, the contact us form tells you to only call for renewals or cancellations but they are shut at 7pm!!!! Rip off and scam Reviewed on: 29th September 2020

Really helpful staff

Saved £83, only took a few minutes online! Reviewed on: 8th September 2020

Amazing service

Called these guys and their call centre was busy so the asked me to press 1 for a call back, and was pleasently surprised when they called me back in about 15 minutes. Friendly lady called me back and saved a bundle. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 11th July 2020

If I could give a minus rating I would.

This really feels like a SCAM and should be avoided. On the surface Van Line Direct appears to be providing a very competitive quotation. I even called them to make sure if there would be any problems with the quote and the feedback I got was, “of course not, why should there be”? So I decided to pay my money and proceed with the insurance. A short while after this I received a call from them, to make sure the details were correct. After a few disagreements of the details I had entered into the online form, they said the price is now almost double! I can either pay the extra amount or cancel and pay £25! It felt like there were trip wires designed to catch you out and trap you into paying more after it’s too late or giving them £25 and going away. It could have all been avoided if they were honest when I first made my call to them. Very disappointed! Reviewed on: 22nd June 2020

Worst company ever

Do not use this company at any cost!! They have officially just won the award for the most money grabbing unhelpful company I have ever come across in my life. they took it upon themselves to electronically sign a credit agreement in my name without any permission! they have made sure financial measures are in place that are designed to further impact on already struggling family’s in this pandemic they offer absolutely no support towards the current situation. They are also sending out renewal premiums that far exceed the price of the same insurance if purchased through a go compare or simple website. I have just cancelled my insurance within 10 day’s of them fraudulently starting a new agreement in my name and they have charged me nearly £150 to cancel a policy I was never sold or sent any documentation for. STAY AWAY Reviewed on: 15th May 2020

shocking company

Avoid them..argued over my no claims proof ...then cancelled my policy and charged me £90 cancellation fee even though not my fault Reviewed on: 4th February 2020

Avoid just a scum the point is your £25

I have online quote £350 , go elsewhere because once you`ve paid a deposit online they phone you the next day with usual sales waffle and price goes up to over £1000. If you cancel you lost £25 off your deposit. I guess 1000 of people are scum daily . Avoid .Safe your time and health. Reviewed on: 24th July 2019

Awful

Promise of best price online, go elsewhere because once youve paid a deposit online they phone you the next day with usual sales waffle and price goes up. If you cancel you lost £25 off your deposit. Much better companies out there, I went with post office who were massivley better value and easy online setup. Reviewed on: 9th July 2019

Very friendly customer service

Joel was incredibly helpful over the phone, thank you. Saved a lot. Reviewed on: 10th September 2018

An absolute shambles of a company

Constant phone calls & emails threatening to cancel insurance as I could not produce evidence of no claims discount on my current car insurance, ( this I had never requested that they use) all I wanted was a policy without using my NCD as was originally quoted online, they then asked for more funds when I told them to let policy lapse. THIEVES ( scrooge would be proud of your attitutde ) Reviewed on: 19th July 2017
