Don't use if you need to make changes

First time using this company and would never recommend them to anyone I had only been with this company for about 4 months then I tried to change my address through there app which it would not let me do so had to chat with someone through their online chat but I was told that hedgehog would not accept my new address and was advised to cancel my policy but it seems like if you have got insurance with this company they don't accept changes and advise you to cancel your insurance policy but they then try and charge you a cancellation fee off £120 pounds when it is them who tell you to cancel your policy. Then you receive very unpleasant emails and texts from this company so why should people have to pay a cancellation fee when it is them who will not accept any charges to your insurance policy this company sounds a scam but out off order with their nasty emails and texts.

I was dreading the thought of having to deal with you on line, but thanks to Emily who dealt with me on live chat everything went extremely well . I can only say a very big thank you to Emily, she should go far. 😄

Don't use Hedgehog

I am a 55 year old, so I have a bit of life experience, a little bit of wisdom. So please listen when I tell you to not use Hedgehog. I am not going to reel off all the problems they caused me, just trust me. Do not use Hedgehog, they are crooks.

NO 14 DAY COOLING OFF PERIOD

Auto renewed car insurance on 78 year old mothers policy and then refused to honour the 14 day cooling offer period and charged her more than £100 for the three days that the policy was active for before we realised!
