Extreme disappointment with Outsurance claims department and staff

Very dissatisfied with the service from OUTsurance after being a loyal client for over 5 years. My car was recently involved in an accident. The panelbeaters have had my car for almost 4 weeks now and estimate the repairs to be done only two weeks from now, and I am expected to be without a vehicle until then. OUTsurance refuses to extend my car hire while the panel beater who is causing the delay fixes my vehicle. OUTsurance say this is not their problem as the parts were delayed for my vehicle even though this is their preferred service provider. This shouldn’t be something that I have to deal with as a customer of OUTsurance who has been paying premiums for so many years. I have no other means of transport and OUTsurance does not seem to care. There is a serious lack of compassion for customers at OUTsurance. Not sure if I should take this to the ombudsman or just take my business elsewhere.

Good day Alim
 
We again wish to apologise for making you feel as if we don’t care! 
Your disappointment about us not being able to extend the usage of the current rental vehicle, is understandable. Parts delay is however not within our or our service providers’ control. Back order on parts are handled by the manufacturers and we can merely follow up regularly.
 
Our client liaison advisor, who is over-seeing the claims’ progress, was in contact with you as well as our service provider who offered to assist you with a courtesy vehicle.
 
Thank you for accepting our apologies as well as your understanding.
 
Regards
The OUTsurance Team
