Vanline Direct are a terrible organisation, I am in dispute about a cancellation of my van policy and they send me threatening emails, texts - and their organisation gives no option to reply to said texts and emails ... it gives a telephone number where the service operatives (although polite and seemingly helpful) - can do nothing to stop the harrassment and threats of debt collectors, bailiffs and legal action which is intimidating and causes extremee stress ... I will NEVER have anything to do with them again ...

My bank details and personal information were taken in a data breach — I wasn't told about it for months
Review update — 26 August 2026
I sent the company a formal written request by registered post, asking key questions about the data breach and providing my full personal details. The letter was delivered and signed for on 21 July 2026.
I asked for a response within 20 working days, or an explanation for any delay. I have received neither.
Given this, the final line of my original review below still stands. My next step is to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office, and I will update this review with the outcome.
***************************************
I was a Van LineDirect customer. On 17 July I received an email from Business Insurance Solutions Ltd (the company behind Van LineDirect) telling me my personal data had been involved in a cyber security breach that took place in January 2026.
The information included my bank account number, sort code, contact details and date of birth.
Why did it take several months to notify affected customers? The company has not provided a reason.
I could find no public notice of the breach on the company's website, or any news reports. When I asked how many people had been affected, I was told that information could not be shared.
My policy ended in 2025. Credit monitoring was not offered to former customers as standard; I only received it after asking.
For me, it's not the breach itself — that's the world we live in. It's the delay, the lack of public information, and the fact I had to push for support. Those are red flags.
Judge for yourself, but I would not trust them with my data again.

Dear Mr Rayment,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and I am sorry to hear about your experience.
I can completely understand how unsettling it must have felt to be asked to call urgently, and then find the price going up.
Our validation process is in place to ensure the information on your policy accurately reflects the correct material facts. Where discrepancies are identified during this process, a revised premium is sometimes unfortunately necessary.
I can also confirm that taking a further payment a week after the first is simply part of our standard process, so I hope that offers some reassurance.
It is lovely to hear you found the person you spoke with pleasant to deal with, that is always good to hear. If you would like to discuss anything further, please do get in touch using the contact details on our website.
Yours Sincerely,
Isabel May

I would avoid this broker service at all costs. I was given a quote for van insurance on money supermarket for this company. Went through the website forms etc and paid in full for the year. Got an email saying to call them to validate the insurance. They went through all the questions I had already answered and tried to put me on hold for 5-10 minutes while they "sorted out the price". The price was quoted and already paid in full.
At this point I realised they are a broker firm and promptly told them to cancel everything and I got a full refund. Never use a broker service as they will not give you a good price.

Dear Copper,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear your experience left you feeling frustrated with the process.
I can understand why being asked to go through the same questions again during the validation call felt unnecessary, particularly having already paid in full. This process is a standard part of confirming details are accurate before a policy goes live, and helps make sure your cover is right from the outset.
I'm pleased you received a full refund once you decided not to proceed, and I hope you've since found cover that suits you elsewhere.
As a broker, our aim is always to match customers with the most suitable cover from across our panel of insurers, though I appreciate that won't be the right fit for everyone.
Yours sincerely,
Isabel May

updated review
Updating my original review. I took a policy out in March, quoted at £42 a month. I put down four years no claims, uploaded my proof in the portal the first week like I was told to. The file wasn't in the right format, but instead of telling me that, they just treated it as no proof at all and added £375 to my policy with a midterm adjustment fee. Not a call, message or email to warn me. I only found out once it was already done.
When I got in touch, it turned out I actually only had two years valid no claims, which is fair enough and my mistake. But the refund they offered was swallowed by fees: an £80 midterm adjustment fee and a £45 admin fee, so out of £375 I'd have got about £60 back. Customer service was no help at all, which is why I left a one star review.
A few days later someone senior from the team called, apologised, waived all the fees and brought my policy back down to the £42 it should have been. Credit to him, he sorted it properly.
The reason for three stars and not more: it took a public review to get any of this dealt with. If you have a problem, be prepared to make noise before anyone listens. The final outcome was fair, but I shouldn't have had to leave a bad review to get there.

Dear Mr. Heap,
Firstly, thank you for taking the time out of your afternoon to speak with me yesterday. It was a pleasure to speak with you, although I regret that it was under the negative circumstances of your review.

If you have any further queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask for me personally and I will ensure that you are well looked after going forwards.
Thank you for your custom, and wishing you a pleasant weekend.
Yours Sincerely,

Absolutely appalling company
Absolutely appalling company, had a policy with them for years on a van, unfortunately we had to scrap the van due to it being uneconomical to MOT, Vanline direct want over £100 admin fee and addons to cancel policy, jokers avoid them , go with a slightly higher quote from another company it will work out cheaper in the long run

Dear Mr Farrar,
Thank you for taking the time to share this. We're sorry to hear about the circumstances that led to the van being scrapped, especially after being with us for a number of years, and we understand how disappointing it was to then face further charges when cancelling the policy.
Cancellation and administration fees form part of our standard policy terms and apply to cover the cost of ending a policy before its term, so we do appreciate this wasn't the outcome you were hoping for.
I'd be happy to look into this for you personally, so please do get in touch with us via our website with your policy details and I will take a closer look.
Kind regards,
Isabel May

Dear Mr. Tsoi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience on Trustpilot.
I am deeply concerned about what you have described. We would never want any of our customers to feel pressured into purchasing insurance, and I want to assure you that we take that very seriously.
I am keen to discuss this with you and put things right. I did attempt to call you and left an answer machine message, so please do return my call at your earliest convenience. Your experience is of paramount importance to us, and what you have shared falls short of the standard we expect of ourselves.
I do hope that we are able to speak soon. Please do take care in the meantime.
Yours Sincerely,
