Question

I just took up comprehensive cover with Prime….and someone made a mention to me that Prime doesn’t cover you when your rims and tyres are ******…I did that call back service request a consultant called me back and at first she sounded confused but later said no comprehensive cover does cover ****** rims and tyres….but being unsure still I called back in and asked the same question and Rodney I believe was the name of that consultant confirmed that Prime doesn’t cover ****** rims and tyres….which in this case would deem the policy futile…..if that is the case please cancel my policy. Do note that I do not have a claim but someone mentioned that fact to me and I just needed to confirm. If you guys don’t cover ****** rims then please cancel my policy,

Good day, please don’t be surprised by my post, firstly I would like to indicate that a lot of people I have spoken to at Prime are confused about my question….whener I asked this question you guys run to answer me about tyre and rim cover….I know about tyre and rim cover I already have it……I’m merely asking about when rime and/or tyres get ******….not damaged by potholes and all that….I know and understand about tyre and rim cover……I’m not sure why you guys keep referring to….my question is based on should I wake up one morning and discover my tyres ******, would I be covered…and the answer was no you’d have to replace tyres and rims from out of pocket…..which raises a question of the insurance of comprehensive cover…..wheels (tyres and rims) are part of a vehicle……how are they excluded by your comprehensive cover…..again I’ll repeat….I’m not asking about tyre and rims that covers you when you hit road hazards…..I’m talking about rims and tyres being ****** and your “comprehensive “ cover not covering that…
