My experience with my claim

I submitted my claim first week of December and it was only paid out today 30th Dec, the consultant that was assisting me was great! The only complaint I have about Bidvest Tyre insurance is that it is misleading. When I signed up I was told when my tyre is damaged due to road hazard they will replace it, I just have to go to a tyre shop for assessment and take pics and send to claims. First of all if I didn’t call a hundred times and email to follow up I would not have received feedback. The 48hour lead time for response didn’t apply to me. 5 days lead time for investigation was also not honoured. Lastly only when the claim is approved they told me they will pay 10% of the amount, what am I going to do with R200? For tyre ? My premium is R179 pm I could have done better by myself if I saved up that premium for 14 months. I was sold a story/dream by Bidvest Angel tyre/ Tyre rim. I can’t recommend anyone to take this insurance.

Dear Nandipha,

Thank you for your feedback. Whilst we are glad to hear that our consultant provided you with great service, we do find it concerning that you had to follow up on your claim regarding progress, and that this was not provided every step of the way. We will contact you to discuss further and look into this issue. 

Warm regards,
B. Ntanzi
