“Absolutely awful company stay clear, told me there was no cerfew when we took the policy and there was, which drastically kept reducing my driving score, when I asked for advice they advised me to not use my brakes, I live in a very hilly area and this is absurd. Then when I eventually could end the policy I rang three desperate times to make sure it didn?t lapse even had emails to day it was finished, then received an email out of the blue thanking me for renewing! Thank god I had cancelled the direct debit. I would advise anyone to avoid this company like the plague”

HI there,I'm sorry to see you have had such a bad experience with our SmartMiles insurance. We are as transparent as we can be about driving between the hours of 10pm and 5pm, so if this wasn't made clear to you I apologise. We wish you the best with your new provider.~ Jamie

“Installed a black box in sons car. Acceleration now down to 0 despite braking and speed being very good. Only a month left to run on policy so I imagine this figure has been fixed so you can cancel the policy. I am a DSA Driving instructor and have hours of video evidence to prove my son has been driving in an acceptable manner. I also have been driving this vehicle in an acceptable manner..... This is a warning to Hastings that I am in the process of taking my proof to a solicitor and to the insurance ombudsmen. Hastings are clearly defrauding their customers out of millions by selling and cancelling policies without giving any refunds and charging customers hundreds of pounds for worthless black boxes.”

“We had a rocky start due to Hastings not receiving my emails with identification and NCD attached then they started charging me too much, however it all got resolved after several phone calls and emails. Since then they have been amazing, someone crashed into me and they supported me through that, I love the app for smartmiles, I?ve had no problems with my box and it isn?t visible at all. Due to scoring well with my black box my renewal quote was HUNDREDS of pounds (?400+) cheaper than any other insurance company, so I am super happy with that. Thanks for a great year Hastings Direct Smartmiles.”

“Awful. Clearly their software is designed to give you a bad score and with a braking score of zero there is no way that my driving can be that bad. Especially when I have been driving for 40 years. Completely manufactured, contrived and dishonest scam.”
