About Us

Hastings Direct, a division of Hastings Insurance Services Limited, is a UK company providing insurance policies and related products by phone and on the internet.

Launched in 1997 we began life as a UK broker providing private car insurance policies and related products. We have since extended the product range to include much more - including home, bike and van insurance and a wide range of additional products and services.

In February 2009, Hastings Insurance Services Limited was bought by its management from Insurance Australia Group (IAG), presenting an exciting opportunity to develop the company as one of the UK's leading insurance providers, whilst the Hastings commitment to quality service ensures long term security for its customers.

Keeping a regular price check

We have been recognised by Consumer Intelligence as the cheapest overall car insurance provider in 2004, 2005 and 2006. We believe, however, that price is not everything and it is important we provide you with a first class service so you know we are reliable if you need to claim on your insurance.
