Unfair Pro-Rata Charge and Unwanted Coverage Addition

I currently hold a vehicle insurance policy with Outsurance. On January 21, 2025, I contacted Outsurance to inquire about adding another vehicle to my policy. During the call, I requested information regarding the coverage and premium, and I explained to the consultant that while I might need the coverage, I was not financially prepared to proceed at that time. I assured them I would reach out again once I was ready to move forward financially.

On February 21, 2025, I called Outsurance again to inquire about starting the coverage in April. I was informed that the new vehicle had already been added to my profile and that I was required to pay a pro-rata fee immediately, according to their system. However, when I checked my bank statement a few days later, I was surprised to find that R696 had been deducted.

I believe this deduction is unjust, as I have not yet commenced the coverage, and I did not authorize any payment at this stage. As a result, I am requesting a refund of the R696. Furthermore, I no longer wish to add the second vehicle to my policy, and if I do not receive a refund, I will consider canceling my existing vehicle coverage with Outsurance.

Good day Sibusiso,

We are sorry to hear about the misunderstanding.

You were assisted yesterday and the vehicle was removed. The refund should reflect in your account within 48-72 hours.

Weekends may cause a payment delay.

Regards,
The OUTsurance Team
