I have purchased Rentalcover coverage…

I have purchased Rentalcover coverage about 6 times but I actually made a claim only once. From uploading the files, to receiving my reimbursement approval it probably took 1 hour. About another 6h to receive the reimbuserment in my account.

Rentalcover.com delivered

Rentalcover.com delivered in their promise to provide drivers with excess insurance. The process to submit the claim was lengthy, but it was worth providing the necessary documentation.

Broken Claims Portal: Submission Failure Blocking Access

I've spent approximately 20 hours over several weeks attempting to submit a claim through their portal, with zero successful submissions. The upload functionality is broken: the progress window is a rotating animation with no actual status indication. After roughly one hour of waiting, it crashes with a generic error message ("sorry something happened try again later") that provides no diagnostic information. As I sign up for this and write about this experience I am trying to upload AGAIN and its still stuck on this window.

I've also tested this across multiple devices, networks, and browsers to rule out user error. The problem is consistent and reproducible, not a one-off glitch.

I've contacted their support team multiple times with no resolution and no meaningful response. There is no phone number or agent available to escalate. I have all my required paperwork.

I escalated to their parent company and to their partner (car rental company) because this pattern looks less like a technical failure and more like a process obstruction. I even received an inbound call from their number that connected to dead air; the callback voicemail is non-functional.

This isn't about accepting or rejecting claims. This is blocking people from entering the claims process entirely.

Has anyone else hit this? I'm curious whether this is widespread or isolated to my account. If this is affecting others, it's worth a potential class action. My time costs money and prolonged frustration is escalating this beyond repair.

Edit: finally had someone got back to me and surprise, when the did it manually it didn't work for them either. Although he was very nice and helpful this review is a reflection on the company's process and what NOT to do.
So the question is - how many others have been impacted. My event was late June. Over 4 weeks of this site not working

ZERO RESPONSE TO EMAILS after claims submission - are they running away from responsibility?

First uploaded my claims documents on 13 Jul 26. They requested for more docs which I submitted on 17 Jul 26. Since then, they have gone 100% radio silence. I've been writing in to ask for updates, and between then and today, 31 Jul 26, THERE IS ZERO REPLY. I'm not sure where their 5-stars came from, but I'm beginning to think that this platform is a scam.
