44 telephone calls in three days!!!!!

I cannot believe how this company is run. It seems as no-one and the same department let alone different divisions speaks to each other. `I received 44 calls from people in OutSurance, who work in the same department, asking the same questions, duplicating work and generally being ***********. This is while I am trying to perform my job. To add insult to injury, every time I'm driving or cannot answer their incessant calls, they call my partner!!! When I gave them my partner's details, it was for emergency purposes ONLY. Not for incompetence in sorting out my claim. And now they have advised me that my car rental is expiring tomorrow and yet they haven't paid out and I cannot take delivery of another vehicle until I have paid over the deposit!!!!!! How does that work? Your company is *********** but the client, who is debited without fail with her premiums each and every single month and has never missed a payment, must now incur massive costs is she keeps the rental vehicle which she has to as she works in JHB and lives in Pretoria.

People, look into Naked insurance. EXACTLY the same cover, with the same excess for less.

As an update on the rental vehicle, they refused to extend the rental for 24 hours!!! I called Hertz, the leisure rate is R500 odd per day so Outsurance would be paying a LOT LESS. So for maybe R350 they wouldn’t extend the rental period for an additional 24 hours. Hertz also insists on me bringing back the existing car and then giving me another one with a SIX THOUSAND RAND HOLDING DEPOSIT!!!!! Added to this, my neck is completely wrecked from the accident but I must drive up and down trying to sort out this mess. Spent 3 hours on the phone yesterday. The retentions department at Outsurance kept me on a call for just under an hour. Never once offered to call the paying client back to reduce costs for the client. Seriously people. Look into Naked insurance. They’re underwritten by Hollard who has been in the game for a long time. Outsurance has become greedy and do everything in their power to ensure they nail you at every turn.

Good afternoon Michelle,

After several private replies we received after your complaint, we confirm our claims manager Maletsatsi was in contact with you.

She explained our claims procedures and its disappointing to see that you feel our service let you down which led to the cancellation of your policy.

You have our best wishes.

Regards,
The OUTsurance Team
