Never use MVIA INSURE

I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration with the recent experience I have had with MVIA INSURE regarding a mechanical breakdown claim for my vehicle.

Two weeks ago, my vehicle experienced a mechanical breakdown, and despite my efforts to prove that the issue fell under the coverage of my policy, MVIA INSURE initially declined the claim. After prolonged back-and-forth discussions and presenting evidence, they reluctantly agreed to cover half of the claim, attributing the breakdown to wear and tear.

Subsequently, I discovered that the component in question was brand new and had been directly fitted by BMW using genuine parts. Despite providing this evidence, MVIA INSURE refused to cover the full amount of the broken component and even declined to reimburse the labor costs, which were not excluded under their policy.

Throughout this ordeal, I have had to engage in numerous phone calls and send multiple follow-up emails, only to receive delayed and unsatisfactory responses. The process of disputing the claim has been arduous and time-consuming, lasting for over three weeks.

To make matters worse, the customer service representatives I have interacted with have displayed a dismissive attitude, suggesting that I seek insurance elsewhere if I am dissatisfied with their service. This response is completely unacceptable, especially considering the substantial premiums I have paid for coverage.

In summary, despite a repair quote of R13,000, MVIA INSURE has only reimbursed R2000, leaving me significantly out of pocket. Based on my experience, I strongly advise against using MVIA INSURE for insurance or warranty services. Their lack of accountability, poor communication, and high premiums make them an unreliable and unsatisfactory choice.

Furthermore, to add to my frustration, while at the repair center, I discovered that three other individuals are facing the same issue as me, and they too are insured under MVIA INSURE.

I urge you to reconsider your options when selecting an insurance provider and to avoid MVIA INSURE at all costs.

Reviewer Update

Thank you for your response to my review. While I appreciate your acknowledgment of the situation, I regret to inform you that I cannot accept the apology at this time. Unfortunately, the issue remains unresolved, and what is even more concerning is the discovery that three other individuals, also insured under your company, are facing similar challenges at the repair center where I took my vehicle. This suggests a systemic issue within MVIA INSURE, rather than an isolated incident.


I understand that you aim to provide an exceptional experience, but it is disheartening to see that multiple customers are encountering the same difficulties. As a policyholder, I had hoped for a more satisfactory resolution to my claim, and the prevalence of similar issues among other insured individuals raises significant concerns about MVIA INSURE's operations and practices.
