Putting the customer in the losing seat.

I need to take my car in for a dent that chipped the paint off so I claimed from the "small dents and scratches" MI motor combo. It doesn't come with a rental car. Despite me having to pay extra every month on my premium for a rental car. My car should be in the panel beater shop for about 5-7 working days. So that means despite me paying for a rental car every month on my premium. I now have to pay for a rental car out of my own pocket. It was explained to me that I only get a rental car if i claim from the comprehensive cover. I can only get a rental car if my car is in for repairs. Now what does Miway think is being done to my car at the panelbeater? For 5-7 days? I can't help but feel that this piece of policy was written to save money and make mega profits at the customers expense. I have now lost complete faith in Miway as an insurer that has my back when I need them. The amount they paid me also doesn't even cover half of what I need to pay the panel beater for the work. So not only am I only losing on the clain money I'm also losing when I need to have a rental car, when my car is at the panel beater, which I pay for every month with my premium. I will change my insurance as soon as I get my car back if this is not sorted out as this is not the first time that I found policy that puts the customer in the losing seat.

I will definitely be canceling my policy after I get my car back from the panel beaters maybe even before, as your Mimotor combo is in my opinion a very clever way of finding excuses to not give the customer what they pay for when they need it the most. The purpose of paying for car hire is to get car hire when you need it because you car is in the shop for a fix. These clever policies are what's going to lose you customers. I have zero trust in Miway!
