Company refusing to pay for damages bad service

A car from Bidvest Rental car hire hit my car as it was trying to avoid colliding with another vehicle, so the driver chose to come and bump my car at the back. I claimed and requested for Bidvest to pay to fix my car and the amount to fix was only R3,000.00 but Bidvest said they will not pay as their driver was not at fault, they did not even say they will cover half of the expenses, this was super terrible service and their response time was very slow, they made me run around getting all sorts of documents and at the end said they would not pay. Thiswas in my view poor serbice, not feeling sympathy for customers and the fact their driver was avoiding another vehicle was used while their driver was playing loud music in the company car.

Hello Phililes,

Unfortunately there is a fine line between our service delivery to our customers who rent vehicles from us and the need to deal with accident claims according to the standards set by this rather complex industry.

We do apologise if it seems as though we were being obstructive by requesting supporting documentation but we have to follow due process before being able to make an informed decision.

The process will be investigated for our side to ensure the correct procedure was followed and we thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Kind regards,
Renette van der Merwe
National Customer Care Manager
