Poor Service Communication and Disregard of customers

Here's an updated version of your review:

*Unfair and Arrogant Service Experience with MiWay Car Insurance*

I recently had an unfortunate accident involving my car on April 20, 2025, at 16h01. Unfortunately, my experience with MiWay Car Insurance was disappointing. After the accident, I was asked to travel 50km to meet a touring car. However, the touring car refused to take me home, citing the road was gravel, despite it being only 2km away. I had to request someone to drive 30km to pick me up and take me home, which took until 21h05. I even had to pay R200 for this transport, which MiWay didn't cover.

The car assessment was also problematic. The service provider, 50km away, seemingly assessed the car based on photos without inspecting underneath, where the damage from a goat collision was evident. MiWay decided I should fix the car myself since it was within the excess.

When requesting a courtesy car, the agent didn't book it in advance. I had to visit Avis car hire twice. The next day, I received an SMS to return the courtesy car without explanation. Only after calling did I learn the claim was within the excess.

Throughout the process, communication was poor. Emails went unanswered, and updates only came through calls. It felt like MiWay prioritizes their interests over customer needs.

*Specific Issues:*

- Poor customer care - Inefficient claim assessment and finalization - Unilateral communication - Lack of redress for customers - Prioritizing profits over customer satisfaction

*Conclusion:* I hope my experience serves as a warning to others. I would advise anyone considering MiWay Car Insurance to think carefully about their decision.

*Rating:* 1/5 stars
