Extremely Disappointed at Discovery Insure Roadside Assistance

MailRef#***#: This was my email sent to Discovery Complaints and no feedback received to date although it states on their automated response that they will come back to me in 24 hours?

To whom it may concern,

I would like to express my extreme disappointment regarding the level of service provided to me by Discovery Insurance during my time of crisis.

I had decided to use the road side assistance service offered to me by Discovery Insurance, after eight years of being a loyal member to Discovery Insurance.

I was alone with my daughter in parking lot which was clearing up at the time. I realized that the battery in my car had died and had thus requested roadside assistant from Discovery Insurance who had promised me that I would be granted assistance within 20 minutes. However, to my disappointment help arrived after 1 hour and I had to call 4 different agents to request roadside assistance as I had not received any assistance, until this point.

At this time, the parking lot was completely empty leaving only my daughter and myself in the car. Being a woman, I had feared for my safety and the safety of my daughter.

Moreover, the day before, I had requested that my location should not be disclosed to anyone. However, to my surprise, my information was disclosed in conflict with my consent.

Furthermore, a family friend had to come and help us whilst there was two towing cars which arrived simultaneously.

Based on my experience with Discovery Insurance and roadside assistance, I am not convinced that Discovery Insurance has my best interest and safety at heart. Therefore, I believe that I cannot trust Discovery roadside insurance.

Kind Regards. Liesl Chetty.
