Would definitely NOT recommend

Reading other reviews it is correct to say that they lie and they trick you out of hundreds! I tried to call and get in contact several times to cancel my insurance but could never speak to someone and now they are trying to charge me hundreds just to cancel! They are such a rip off!! Not only that but I am being bombarded with 5 or more messages a day and they have taken money out of my account without my authorisation!! I would advise not to use them as there are better companies out there who will not rip you off! Read more Read less

Their sales team will tell you lies via their 'recorded' phone calls. These phone calls are un accessible if they have found misconduct within there company. But gaurenteed the phone calls would be there if i were to be abusive. They will add fault claims to your policy. So please be wary and check all documentation. I personally will never use van line direct again as they are very unprofessional. Cancelled my policy and went to hastings direct. They even wanted to charge me 45 pounds to cancel my policy for their own mistakes. Farcical to say the least. Read more Read less

I went on compare the meerkat for new van insurance and clicked what I thought was a good deal. Got this circus who then went through everything I had just put in already then quoted me £1300 when I paid £680 the year before. I then said no and was told I had to speak to someone from technical ??? However never got to as the customer service’s constantly hang up on you. I thought getting insurance should not be this hard then abandoned it and went onto a competitor company direct and got it for £500 cheaper with more perks. From now on I will just ring companies direct as a broker web sight to then put you onto a broker all adding their bits on ???? Read more Read less

I had an van insurance on them , on 18 February I asked to cancel my insurance and they keep my insurance on. On 18 February they said I will get my refund in 7 days.I paid more then £1000 to them for 3 weeks of insurance. On 3 March I receive back £74. On 20 March I send them proof that from 24 February I have van insurance to another company. Every time when I call them they say to wait 7 more days to get my refund. Read more Read less

Got a quote online for £555 phoned up to ask for someone to go through the quote due to poor reviews on here, they came back with £1200 rising to £1600 with interest, I told them about the £555 quote they had given online and gave the reference number they said they can do that price but it was not available to pay anually, only available for a monthly payment with a 21% interest charge of £200!!! How can you offer a service for a price but demand to give credit at a rate of 21% that isn't wanted or needed ??? Asked to speak to customer service, told if you don't like it go somewhere else !!
