How to fix Hastings Direct not working

Hastings Direct is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Reload the page or restart the app

   A stale session can block the sign-in screen or leave a quote half-loaded. Close the browser tab and open hastingsdirect.com again, or force close the app from your phone's app switcher and reopen it. If the page still hangs, move to the next step.

2. Try a different network

   Your broadband might drop the connection to the quote or account pages while mobile data works. Turn off Wi-Fi in your phone's settings and load the site over 4G or 5G; on a laptop, tether to your phone or switch to a home network you have not used yet. A captive portal or DNS filter on the original network can cause the page to time out.

3. Clear the browser cache and cookies

   Old cookies from a previous session can make the login form reject your password or loop back to the sign-in page. Open your browser's settings, find the privacy or history section, and clear cached images and files plus cookies for hastingsdirect.com only. Then reload the site and sign in again.

4. Reset your password or call support

   If the app accepts your email but rejects every password, use the 'Forgot password' link on the sign-in screen to set a new one. Check the spam folder for the reset email because filters can catch it; the link expires after a short time. When the reset fails too, call the number printed on your policy documents; a locked account may need a person to clear it.

While Hastings Direct is down: what to use instead

• Phone line Call the customer service line for claims or payment problems when the website or app will not load.
• Policy emails and PDFs Open the confirmation email or policy schedule you were sent; it has cover dates and the policy number while the site is unavailable.
• Banking app or card statement If you only need to check whether a payment went through, look in your banking app or recent card statement instead of waiting on the site.
• Mobile app Use the app if it is already installed on your phone; it can show policy details or take a payment when the website is the part that is failing.

Problems at the same time as Hastings Direct

Since 10 November, Hastings Direct's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.
