I would never buy this type of insurance again, the device given was very tricky to use. Since I was a new driver, pricing was a crucial thing, fitting the device to car was ok however; the driving style relating to the device doesn't seem correctly recorded. once is dropped, no matter how to drive (from slow to very slow) still won't brought it up, this makes me think that the device is a little bit tricky, because all records are going to use to determine the price for the forth coming renewal policy, obviously the lower the point the higher the renewal price. After experienced, I will not purchase this type of insurance again yet of course not renewing with this company again!

Hi there,I'm sorry to see you are having a few issues with the black box. I can imagine without speaking with one of our team about how the box works and best practise to get the scores where they need to be. We do have a dedicated team that would be more than happy to speak with you and support any problems with the box you have. They can explain how it works and give some really good hints and tips on how to improve. They can be contacted on 0800 048 2955 or via email at firstresponse@hastings direct.com.~ Jamie

It wasn't clear what the actual price of the insurance renewal actually was, as some contradicted others on this.

I find the service helpful. T/C discussions have fruitful although I might I agree with the findings regarding my black box.

Hi there,I'm sorry to see you have had issues receiving your documents after recently purchasing a policy through us. All documents are sent 2nd class and can take some time to get to you. If you are still concerned that you are not insured you can call out team on 01733 308 380 and an advisor would be more than happy to help.~ Jamie

In almost every way their customer service is bad. Firstly, the app has the wrong number on it, something I have highlighted multiple times to them, They are nice personality wise, and you feel like you will get some assistance and usually do, however it is vague, non confirming and left me with more unanswered questions. One such example is contacting them about the three 'extreme speed' violations on my account, whereby the first contact told me they would be in touch to review this very shortly, and the 2nd contact told me these were all mistakes on their part and that I just ignore the fact their black box recorded me going 120mph.

Hi there,Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I'm sorry that the level of Customer Service you have received is not as high as you should have received. It must be very frustrating getting conflicting information regarding your speeding and for this I apologise. In these cases its worth asking to speak with a technical advisor or someone that would have the correct information about your speeding events. Hopefully you have no rectified the situation.~ Jamie

Having the monitor on our driving has really made a difference to our renewal. It also concentrates the mind when driving even through we were always careful with speed etc.

I haven't had an accident to see how that process goes. Otherwise, for the first time in my motoring career I didn't have to change insurers because the renewal quote was expensive.
