Another one registered in Gilbratar. I had one come up really cheap on the comparison sites some time back.
I wisely chose to pay more.

Glad i did, A while laters complaints started to appear on the net. No longer on the comparison website i see.

Many thanks with your info,

this was my gut feeling hence my post on the forum. they were the only one who were cheaper than my Current insurers who i thought are giving me a great price.

I have 3 weeks, so onwards with with seeing who (if any:D) will beat the current renewal quote.

Many thanks all and i will come come if any strange ones appear in my findings

I've been with them for 6 years with no issues (and 1 claim). They appear to be the clout behind 10+ brands who offer different targeted services on differing websites, however that's simply the shop front, behind the scenes they are no different than any other established company and they have always been a little cheaper than the 'big' names.

I've no issue with their services so far, and do not expect this to change.

Southern Rock are the underwriter behind ecar.

Do a search of MSE or google for many unhappy customers.

I usually find a Gibraltar based Insurer is one to avoid

Maybe I'm being cynical but is it really a coincidence that this thread appeared on the same day that a load of press coverage went out about their founder? There's an awful lot of repeated words in the OP's posts as well - you know the sort - cheap, renewal, etc. All the ones that people plaster all over the place to help their google rankings. I don't know, maybe I am just too cynical these days....

Hi guys.

Previously been with GoSkippy I would not advise this insure at all! I have had nothing but issues from start to finish! The whole company just seems to be an un-organised mess. I dread to think what would have happend if I needed to make a claim. I know they offer cheap insurance but take my advice and pay that little bit extra to go with a better known company. I hear GoSkippy are a fairly new company maybe they just need that little bit of extra time to sort themselves out.
