Can't get a quote from SANTAM

I am trying to get a quote for a commercial private insurance policy. It seems that SANTAM are not looking for work. I spoke to Maribene last Friday (23/11/18) and she started creating a quote. The motor car part was completed. She said she will have to come back to me. No return call. I called yesterday afternoon and was told she was on a call and that she would call me back. Nobody called. I called again today and was but through to Maribene. I asked her why she never called me back. He reply was she was too busy and she put down the phone. I spoke to a Manager from complaints who said he would investigate Maribene but he would put me through to someone who would help me. After a long wait I was but through to someone, I didn’t have chance to catch his name apart from saying hello when the call was cut. He never called back. Is this SANTAM's method of getting more customers??

Good morning,

Thank you for your post above. We are really sorry to hear about your bad experience and the shear frustration this has caused you.

We will immediately investigate this matter and escalate to management in that department to assist and provide us with feedback but also to make contact with you to conclude the quotation.

Thank you and kind regards

Nobody came back to me. My wife was given a quote told everything was fine. She was welcomed to Santam and then the day before it was due to start my wife got an email saying the policy had been rejected. The salesman Michiele would contact my wife. Which he didn't. The usual for companies today. I advise people not to take out short term insurance with SANTAM. They are not the same as they used to be. I will advise everyone to keep well away from SANTAM
