3 DAYS AND STILL NO RESPONSE ON COURTESY CAR

My car has been in for repairs for a scratch and dent claim since Monday, since Tuesday I have been trying to communicate with King Price to find out if it would be possible to get a courtesy car (which is included in my policy) in the meantime as the repairer (Durban Central Panelbeaters) has advised that the car will only be ready next week. Every time I call I am told my call will be returned but no one calls, I have also sent emails to *** and *** but there has been no feedback. This morning I called again and I was told to get confirmation from the repairer on the exact date when the repairs will be completed which I did and sent an email to *** as advised but there has been no feedback. I have had to come here on Hellopeter because the last issue I had with King Price for the same claim was only resolved after I had posted on Helllopeter. It's been difficult to deal with King Price lately due to non-response from them and I have started weighing my options with other insurers because I can't continue with an insurance company that only responds to bad reviews on Hellopeter but cannot provide me as a customer with proper feedback for 3 days.

Hi Lwazi

Our sincerest apologies for the negative experience. Unfortunately car hire is not available during a scratch and dent claim. We refer to page 30 of your policy document which states the following : 

''Car hire

You may choose to add optional car hire cover to your car insurance cover so that we can help you out with a hired car if the insured car is:

• Damaged (covered by your car insurance policy) and being repaired.
• Damaged (covered by your car insurance policy) and not driveable.
• ****** or hi-jacked.

Please note: The hired car is available until your car insurance claim is finalised, up to a maximum period of 30 days. Car hire is linked to your car insurance policy. If your car is being repaired under scratch and dent cover, car warranty cover, roadside assist, or any other cover, you can’t claim for car hire. ''
