Hello Tshepo S, 

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. 

During the claim's validation stage, the information supp**** by clients needs to be verified and validated by independent sources as far as possible to ensure that we have the most objective and unbiased information available to enable us to make an informed decision regarding the outcome of such a claim. 

Whilst the purpose of insurance is to protect one in the event of an accident, it is also true that such cover is only provided on the condition that a driver keeps to the policy terms and conditions. 

Remember that with the Prime Motor Comprehensive policy, towing and storage costs are covered by us if a registered claim is approved after validation. However, if a claim is rejected, you will be responsible for covering the costs of towing and storage. 

Our Market Conduct Team confirms that they will contact you to provide you with comprehensive feedback regarding your claim outcome. 

It will no doubt reassure you to know that PMD offers a 24-month fixed premium guarantee on all  claim-free policies! 

Assuring you of our continued best endeavours. 

Kind regards, 
The Prime SA Team
