Worst Insurance

I was in an accident on 3rd June and logged in my claim on the same day it's a month i have been pushed from pillar to post, only today their telling me that my claim wasn't logged in . Than I was not told about paying for a fuel deposit when i get a courtesy car, I pay extra for a courtesy so why is there a fuel deposit, 2ndly I was told to send my car to the panel beater and i was assured they will get the excess from the third party, my car is in the panel beaters but now their forcing me to pay excess because they are failing to recover the excess from the drunk driver who skipped a stop street. i have been treated unfairly but i pay my insurance religiously each month. This is by far the worst service i have experienced ever.

Our sincerest apologies for the negative experience.

Please note a fuel deposit is mandatory and is refunded back to you if you return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel. This is an industry standard. Please also note that an excess recovery is a legal process which can be quite a lengthy one of which success is not guaranteed. Unfortunately you are liable to pay your excess in the event of a valid claim.

Our legal team will be in contact to advise on the status of the recovery.

It's weird how you say the fuel deposit is an industry standard, I'm not in the insurance industry so how i meant to have known about this industry standard. Plus you only sent me the policy wording when i logged in my claim for over a year i haven't seen my policy wording. Unfortunately i do not have money for this excess. I will be taking this matter up with Osti

So what you're insinuating is that all King Price customers must know your industry standards without you explaining them.

I paid the R3500 excess on Friday and collected my car from your Panel beater. On my way home the car stopped on the highway and couldn't start again and when i phoned King Price i was told i needed to take the car back to the Panel beater to check if it's something they can fix or another issue. I told the agent i was talking to that this was an inconvenience that i brough in my car 3 weeks ago and suddenly the car isn't starting. When i dropped off my car 3 weeks ago it was drivable and nothing was wrong with it. the agent said i need to sit at the panel beater while they check the car. your panel beater couldn't fix the fault and i was there until 5pm on Friday i phoned the insurance again telling them i had no means of getting home and the agent Tina Msiza told me there was no one to assist me or authorize a courtesy car because they didn't know what was wrong with my car and it can only be done on Monday. when i asked to speak to her manager Beauty Skosana she said i couldn't speak to her manager or supervisor. The panel beater than eventually got me a lift to go home and i spent the weekend struggling to get around without a car. This morning i needed to come to work and i had to get an uber and pay a colleague money for a lift. i DONT UNDERSTAND WHY I NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS AS I AM A PAYING INSURANCE CUSTOMER WITH KING PRICE.

I'm highly dissatisfied and angry at how i am being treated, My vehicle has been sitting at your panel beater since 12/06/2024 on the day i fetch the vehicle it breaks down. whose fault is it supposed to be this is your panel beater that you selected and i must be inconvenienced asking for lifts and having to use taxis just because i must wait for your authorization to get a courtesy car. my policy includes a courtesy car and now to get it is a whole process. so how am i supposed to get home today and get to work the rest of the week. My experience with King Price continues to be horrid

As per our records the claims department is aware of the matter and are busy arranging a diagnosis of the vehicle in order to determine if the current situation is related to the repairs done on the vehicle or not. Once this has been ascertained claims will be in contact to discuss.
