Absolute scam

Absolute scam. Took the money before I was provided with insurance. This meant I wasn’t insured but still lost the money. I requested a refund and they took weeks to respond. They then claimed i lost my 14 day right to refund. All because they didn’t respond.

What absolute scammers

What absolute scammers! I am filing a complaint with the ombudsman for their disgusting behaviour! What absolute thieves! Stay away! They charge u 49 pounds on the pretext of giving you insurance cover, but beware! You are paying the 49 pounds to "give you access to a database" of insurance companies that you can freely access on google. This level of theft is shocking.

Absolutely disgusted that this is allowed to happen. Tried insuring my disabled daughter untill her mobility car was available, as soon as I hit ‘pay’ then received a list of insurance companies, I realised I’d been conned! Emailed company as couldn’t get through on number as it’s clearly fake and was told no refund and my 14 days cancellation rights do not apply! Absolutely appalling sham of a company!!!! Wish I’d seen these reviews first

short-insure.com is a replacement for the same company shortinsure.co.uk.
Do not use as they will provide you with a list of companies who you can obtain free quotes from. It will look like a lower price for insurance, but you are likely to receive a much higher cost quote, or even be refused

This is a misleading and useless…

This is a misleading and useless website, you put in all your details, registration, D. O. B. Address etc, you then get a request to pay £49.99, and when you pay, guess what? They give you a list of companies that will insure your car, if you then put in your details and pay the Real insurance company. Avoid this site at all costs!

Not an insurance site

My 19 year old son used this site to buy day insurance to travel a 400 mile round trip to buy a car. He thought the £49.95 he paid insured him. It didn't, my son didn't realise he had paid to be sent an email with companys that he would have then had to pay to insure him. This meant he drove uninsured in his new car, fortunately nothing happened.

Scam Site

Doesn't provide quotes or insurance, just gives you a list of existing short term insurance providers and charges £40 for the privilege. Just use Google/Bing/etc and get the same results for free.

Was previously reviewed as shortinsure.co.uk.
