*********** fly-by-night vrot pineapple

I app**** for a policy with pineapple on the 31st of July 2025 for my new vehicle that I planned to collect on the 1st of August. I had previously done a quote with them in 2024 for a vehicle that I did not end up purchasing. During underwriting process on the 31st of July, I told the consultant pls remove that old vehicle from my profile because I never purchased it. She gave me a total premium of +~R1400. I accepted the policy. Later that afternoon I received an sms from them stating that R3262.47 would be debited. In the meantime I managed to find an alternative insurer because already this was going downhill. On the morning of the 1st of August after trying to reach them with multiple requests and messages on their app, I called the call center. Turns out the 1st vehicle was never removed from my profile either. I requested an immediate cancellation and shortly thereafter received confirmation of cancellation. Sadly on the night of the 1st, they STILL debited my account with the R3262.47 which was never the correct amount. I’m sorry to say but don’t trust these new kids on the block. Stick to the known, proven reliable companies because these little new companies are HIGHLY ***********. I’ll be updating this review to let everyone know how long it took me to recover my money😏

Update. The only feedback I have received is this automated response here. I also have STILL not received my money back. The fact that they say the service is not up to their usual standards but also don’t deal with the problem as a matter of urgency is clear evidence that this company does not value their reputation in the industry!
