What an absolute joke

What an absolute joke. I set my insurance may 2023 and they call me today to tell me after a year, that any gold in my house would not be covered by their policy. That this would be an additional payment. Wth your telling me this today, when asked why wasn't this flagged up, said it was because it was set up online. So where was that disclaimer online to tell me that? Do not waste your valuable money with these clowns. I asked for then to resend the email or letter, apparently they called me in 2023? 🤔

First time claiming SKy home insurance…

First time claiming SKy home insurance and having a complete nightmare, for an emergency fix and with a vulnerable person in the house with a window frame hanging off the wall, first called Tuesday AM, eventually got through and they hung up, told someone would be out within 24 hours, didn’t happen, called back today and no ticket had been raised, contractor came out, said he couldn’t do the job an hour ago as it needed a building assessment , now left with an unsafe wall and window in my sons bedroom which he can’t use and no further info, absolutely dreadful service, and now have my son sleeping on the couch for a 3rd night with an unsafe bedroom, would most definitely NOT advise using this company

I have taken a new car policy via 1st…Central

I have taken a new car policy via 1st Central and it appears is underwritten by Skyfire. I have requested a hard copy of my policy and have still not received it. I have lodged a complaint with the broker now. I have been given an address for Heywoods Heath Uk. If I had known how bad this company and the broker 1st Central were I would never have dealt with either. I have been driving for 35 years.

Absolutely awful home insurance

Absolutely awful home insurance. I had a blocked pipe which caused my kitchen to flood (my wooden floor is now ruined) and they sent out a plumber who said the pipe is blocked and the soil pipe is faulty. He told me to call the insurance back and ask them to send a drainage company. I called the following morning at 9am and they said they had assigned someone to me. Hours passed, I called again at 11, then at 1.30 and both times they said the same thing. When I called again at 3pm, they said no one was actually coming as I’m not covered because the soil pipe is faulty. Firstly, why make me wait all day to tell me that? I took a day off of work, I had no bathroom facilities available as the waste water coming from the bath and shower was causing the flood and I have a small child. I managed to get a drainage company round the same day (and paid evening rate) who sorted the blockage in 45 minutes; he said the soil pipe didn’t cause the the actual blockage so technically I should have been covered. I’m absolutely disgusted with this insurance product and would strongly recommend others are not fooled into using them.

This Company is a complete rip off for…

This Company is a complete rip off for young drivers, the scoring is a joke on the black box and are penalised for anything, go over your predicted mileage and charged £260 for another 1000, why should you have to pay more to drive ????? £1500 was paid to cover for the year. DO NOT USE this company they cancel the insurance if you go over your mileage and do not refund .

Worst car insurance company for young drivers

Would strongly advise any young drivers who have just passed their test to purchase car insurance from anyone other than Sky Insurance. They appear as a cheap insurance with a black box however there are lots of hidden costs. When opted to enter your predicted miles at the start of your insurance period, this is expected to be followed exactly and any miles driven above this must be purchased at what was over £200 for 1000 miles on my policy. This depends on your driver score which can be drastically reduced for any minor speeding but continuous good driving is not rewarded and the score doesn’t seem to return back to a good level. Overall a very poor company and I won’t be renewing my policy

Be aware of surcharging

My daughter used this firm for her car insurance on a provisional license. What was not made clear as the details were given over the internet was that she would not be insured if her 76 year old grandfather was supervising her. When she cancelled the policy she was then charged over 50 pounds cancellation fee even though she had never actually been insured(as they require a phone call to confirm) and had taken out the policy less than 24 hours previously. This is money she can ill afford to have taken from her.

Sky Insurance is a FRAUD

Sky Insurance is a FRAUD. Do NOT use this company. They steal your deposit. I highly recommend using other honest and reliable agents and brokers. Stay away from them...

BEWARE! Not to be recommended.

Not to be recommended, the lure is a competitive if not cheaper price but you absolutely will incur hidden costs. They will argue it is in the terms as they are but your black box is totally monitored and you will absolutely incur costs. I paid £121.63p for the car being parked at an alternative address for a long period. The analogy for me is they are the wheel clamper guys of old who are using the new black box to create fines and costs. BEWARE!

Good value learner insurance, but watch for the phone validation...

Learner driver insurance was good value and offered pro-rata cancellation on passing test, as opposed to the scaled back refunds offered by some other insurers. We purchased online, but they wanted a phone call the next day to 'validate my details'. Despite being 17 and in school full time (as indicated on the online proposal form), they phoned home at 9.30 in the morning and again a little while later, then sent a decidedly unnerving email entitled "Notice of Cancellation", and a signed-for letter in the post threatening cancellation, all for the sake of waiting until the evening when I would have been home, or until I called them instead as they had requested! Could do better?
