Loyalty is not a criteria for competitive premiums.

I've been a longstanding client for more than 13 years with business and personal cover with Outsurance. I expected when I added a motorbike, just a newer model of what I currently have, they quoted me 4 x more on a premium, even more that my other vehicle that costed 4 x the mbike value. I tried to explain it doesn't make sense, the agent rambled a scripted response. I requested a quote from a competitor and they offered a 3rd of the quoted value - which I happily accepted. Howcome would Outsurance jeopardize a longstanding client by doing this? I have given my financial broker instruction to get competitive quotes for all my Outsurance policies. I will gladly accept if even marginally cheaper. The lesson learned is that clients should be wary not to become complacent to one insurer such as Outsurance. Loyalty is not a criteria for competitive premiums for them. So why be loyal?

No bother. Just send me R500 because I've found a better quote than yours, as your advert goes.... Call me for details.
I think after 10+ years, it is time to part ways.

Good day Marius,

Thank you for raising your concerns with us. 

Annelise our client care manager contacted you to address your concerns. Premiums are based on your own unique risk profile, it's unfortunate that we were unable to offer you a better premium.

Please note, the quote promotion is only applicable to non-clients who call us to get a better insurance premium on their motor vehicles.

We do apologise for the disappointment.

Regards,
OUTsurance
