Policy Address Change

Needed to change my address on my policy and couldn’t access the website, went on the live chat and Emily was very helpful and guided me through the process until the changes were made. Very helpful customer service.

I paid for a new car insurance policy…

I paid for a new car insurance policy through their website. After I entered my card details and confirmed the payment with my bank, their website reported an error and the policy was not created. The payment (over £600) was stuck in a state of "pending payment". I contacted Hedgehog assuming that they would recognise the error and just create the policy. However they couldn't create the policy or cancel the payment. So I had no insurance policy and the money was stuck in limbo for 7 days until the bank cancelled it. The customer service is appalling. They made it very much my problem and not theirs. At first they even tried to claim the error was my fault. Then they tried to say it was an error with Visa (that was a lie). Avoid at all costs.

Avoid

Hedgehog insurance they need squashed in the road . In reality zero stars. Don't use them . As soon as you cancel a policy then you see their true colours . They seem to take it personally and become very unprofessional. Avoid avoid avoid

UNFIT FOR PURPOSE - AVOID!!!

Unfit for purpose. This company are disgraceful. Only contactable by email, you can't speak to anybody. I arranged a new car policy ONE DAY AGO. I couldn't supply proof of no claims bonus (within their 2 year requirement) so they imposed an extra £250 on my £450 policy. I am 78 and have NEVER made a motoring insurance claim - I have 50 years no motoring claims !! Unhappy with their 'conditions', I cancelled the policy application for a refund (within 24hours) - they deducted £100 for this. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - go to an established and reliable one.
