Loads of hidden Charges

Crooks. Cancelled policy after 10 months as they wouldn't insure new car. They then throw loads of hidden charges at you. Cannot give you a cancellation price until a week after you have paid a direct debit. This is the first time I have used Vavista and I wouldn't use them again.

1 star is too much to give to this…

1 star is too much to give to this insurance company. If you are ever tenpted to go for this insurer please hold yourselves. I have this policy since the 28th of january and i had to reject my car due to faults and it was returned to the dealer. I called vavista to cancel my insurance policy due to me not having a car anymore and the lady on the phone told me she would calculate the cancelation fee. I paid a deposit of £408.61 and after calculation she told me they calculation fee was £75 and i would get a refund of £80, so i asked for a breakdown she could not even explain properly the charges. Anyways i proceeded with the cancellation and i asked the lady to send me a cancelation letter with the breakdown of the charges she was claiming. After agreing to that she got back to me and told me that she doesnt have that and she excalated that to her manager who will get in contact with me within 24 to 48 hours with the breakdown of the charges. Meanwhile this is the so called cancelation letter not even mentioning the deposit i paid and how we came down to this. As you can see this is a very shady company. Be very careful

Rubbish Company

Rubbish Company, if your calling regarding an accident that’s not your fault you get given the third parties insurance details to basically sort yourselves, no help whatsoever! Even the third party themselves were mortified that I was having to call and report all the information myself. Even when I sent an email complaining they wanted to fob me off on an external AX management. I definitely will not be renewing my policy

Awful company

Awful company. Charge you for EVERY conversation or change. They want evidence of EVERYTHING. Be careful. They want evidence if you change your car mid policy that you no longer own the vehicle you have sold and they want to charge you if you do not send this evidence the remainder of the insurance policy - whilst also cancelling the policy - even if you have another car that you have reinsured with them. They also want evidence that you have changed your car, pictures uploaded for EVERYTHING, and charge you £35.99 for every change regardless of whether you have opted for the extra pack that says no online charges if you do it yourself in the portal - be careful - the small print says they still charge. Cannot wait for my policy to end with them.

AWFUL,AWFUL COMPANY...DO NOT USE

I was involved in a non fault accident, nothing major just a small dent to the tailgate...called Vavista to advise who immediately refered me to AX Claims Management. 48 hours later AX informed me my car was a write off even though nobody had even inspected the car. I was not happy with that and contacted Vavista , spoke to an adviser in customer services who clearly seemed bored in having to accept the call and basically said there was nothing they could do to overturn AX's decision (why? they are the insurance company!!) Out of desperation I called the third party's insurance company to see if there was anything they could do (again, why should I have had to do it - this is what I pay my insurance premiums for!)
Long story short, I didn't deal with AX or Vavista but I did call the other party's insurance company and within a few days the car went to the garage to be assessed and has now been fixed.
You only know how good the company is until you need to claim, and this company is truly appaling. Awful from start to finish - claims management refusing to actually view the car but pestering me to get the hire car off them ( this is where these management companies make their money), poor customer service with insurance company and I end up having to do their job as they couldn't be bothered, oh, and to top it off, I received a email from Vavista regarding the renewel to advise that they are unable to provide a competitive quote for me on this occasion and to basically go elsewhere. They clearly weren't happy that I didn't accept what they stating.
I would never go with this shoddy company ever again, even if it was £100 cheaper and I have also told other people how bad they are.

Sure they'll just cut & paste the standard reply that they always use - they have nothing to say!

***** Update: In response to the company's reply as you see they have clearly not bothered to read my review as I was never complaining about cancelling the policy or the fees. Terrible company! *****

This is the worst insurance company

This is the worst insurance company. They lie and cancellation fee is not broken down. I’ve never defaulted any payment. My car was faulty within 5 weeks of purchase which the dealer took back. I called Vavista to cancel the policy. Only to be told my cancellation fee is £194. Regular payment was taken(direct debit) on the 2nd and I called to cancel on the 5th. How vavister arrived at £194 for cancellation is still unclear. This company rip off people. I stayed without my car for almost a month before I decided to cancel.I spoke with different customer service and they don’t even understand or know what they are doing. They just read to customer without understanding. No direct answer to questions. Vavista will give you debt that’s not yours. Run from Vavista for your car insurance

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

One star is too good for this company. They dont care about customers at all. Had a quote of £500 paid off in full, needed to change details, wouldn't let me so suggested I cancel and restart the policy so I said yes. Went to do the policy again, exact same policy now £800!!! Spoke to four different people, all said different things, all lied about something. Worst company I have ever dealt with. Because of this I had to take put temporary insurance just to be covered. I'm 10000% sure the good reviews for this company are people who have been paid to review it! No way would this even be 1 star!
