**Title: Unacceptable Service and Lack of Communication from Santam Car Insurance**

I am extremely dissatisfied with the service and communication from Santam Car Insurance regarding our car insurance policy. We have multiple cars insured with Santam, all of which included a car hire option in the event of repairs. Despite paying for this service, we recently discovered that one of our cars was removed from the car hire option without any notification to us. This is unacceptable, as we continued to pay for the service in good faith, expecting the coverage to be in place.

To add to the frustration, we recently needed to send one of our cars in for repairs. We were then informed that the car hire option was not available for this vehicle, even though we had been paying for it. The lack of communication from Santam regarding this change is highly unprofessional and unacceptable.

Furthermore, it has been a month since we submitted the car for repairs, and there is still no resolution or clear understanding of what went wrong. This prolonged period without a solution is causing significant inconvenience and frustration. We rely on the car hire option to manage our transportation needs during repairs, and Santam's failure to provide this service is impacting our daily lives and business operations.

We demand immediate action to rectify this situation: 1. Provide a clear explanation as to why the car hire option was removed without notice. 2. Ensure the car hire option is reinstated immediately for all our vehicles as per our policy. 3. Offer suitable compensation for the period we have been paying for a service that was not provided. 4. Expedite the repair process of our vehicle and provide us with a timeline for its completion.

Santam's lack of service and communication is unacceptable, and if this issue is not resolved promptly, we will consider alternative insurance providers and escalate the complaint to relevant consumer protection agencies.
