Rude consultant

I asked for a quote for car insurance. I spoke to a consultant who explained everything in great detail, very polite until I said I wasn't going to take accept the quote right now because I had other quotes to receive first. he told me he failed to understand what was holding me back from accepting his quote and when I explained I had to assess my budget first and I would contact him personally if I decided to accept, he put the phone down on me. Don't bully me into buying your product because it'll never happen. Keep at it if you want to chase customers away. Your price very well may be the best but if you're so sure of yourself you would let the customer decide in their own time.

Amazing professional service

My car got water damage and the people I’ve dealt with so far (Kubendran) has only provided excellent service to date. I called a tow truck and was about to pay for it when the driver asked me if I have insurance. It took them 5min to approve the towing cost. They also organised me a rental car with unlimited mileage for 14 days. Today I realized Monday would be 14 days so when I called to extend it they already extended my rental. Amazing service. (Note fact that my car is taking so long to be assessed is because the dealer doesn’t have the capacity to look at it) I will never use another insurance company again.

The absolute worst insurance company I…

The absolute worst insurance company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Client service truly pathetic. My car that should have been repaired within 10 working days is after more than a month still not ready for collection. I am told another 10 to 15 working days. In the mean time I had to return the rental and now have to uber from Pretoria to Boksburg, Vanderbijlpark, Roodepoort, Randburg, Witbank for court appearances. Absolutely disgraceful. And despite promises and undertakings to call or contact you (the customer) they do not.

Burst Pipe and outsurance replace tiles with mix and matched!!

Burst Pipe.

It took exactly a WEEK to replace the burst pipe. NOW i need to sit with shitty work. Outsurance INFORMED me they do not pay for mix and matched BUT i MUST ACCEPT mix and matched tiles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very unhappy. I am paying OVER R2500 A MONTH and EXCESS OF R4490 NEVER SKIPPED but they are ONLY willing to pay for ONE ROW tiles, never mind that the tiles are not available anymore they are going to mix and matched. I AM OVER OUTSURANCE and will definitely start looking for other insurance for my HOME AND CAR.

WHY MUST I call a claims manager after I was promised one will call me ON FACEBOOK!!!!!

OUTSURANCE IS THIEFS

My mother inlaw submitted her claim this past week for her sister inlaw that passed away. Outsurance giving them a run around this whole week. Funeral is today, and her husband and herself is responsible to make it a blessed day.
So Outsurance decided this week not to pay out, claiming that she missed payments, and they are unable to payout, they claim she missed 4 payments. They then changed their story, after back and forth, that they will pay 50%of the total claim.
When asked that they show her, which months she missed, they cannot show, as she said she will produce a bank statement to show that she never missed a payment.
Now something doesnt add up. Should you miss one payment, you get notified...secondpayment missed you get notified and/or your cover lapses...
So why do Outsurance want to payout half, if she missed payments?

They dont want us to help her speak to them, as we are more educated concerning this...
Worst is...for years she has this cover, paying with her pension so she can give her sister inlaw who was ill a dignified berial...

Premiums taken after cancellation

Initially good. My premiums were in advance, I cancelled over 2 months ago, they have continued to debit my bank account, to date over R1000. Despite 3 emails plus a formal letter of complaint, I have had no response. I guess the next step is the Ombudsman, what a pity to ruin what was initially good service. However Outsurance clearly don't appear to care about poor reviews.

Stay away. Unethical

About a decade ago, Outsurance fired me as a car insurance client saying I was a serial claimer. 1. Someone hit me and admitted guilt. 2. My car was broken into.

So I left. Ten years later,.looking for a new quote on home content insurance, I thought let's give them another chance. I was.declined!

Is this even legal ? As an honest human who has never and would never commit insurance fraud, to me, this is unethical and not acceptable!

Outsurance funeral cover is a complete waste

Im posting on behalf of my cousin who is struggling with outsurance

I tried to log in with ID number: 8304035220084. I have been trying to pay my outsurance funeral cover which i have been paying for a few months.I called twice today and the agents decide my verification is not up to standard.I want to cancel this funeral cover because if I am already having so much trouble with outsurance now I do not want my relatives to sit in the same boat when its time to claim.I want my premiums back so that I can go open a funeral cover at Standard bank.I stay on a farm and I cannot go up and down to go answer the exact same questions in a shoprite or checkers.And I have been in both shops to find out why I couldn't pay.I want my premiums.You are buying time so my policy can lapse and keep my premiums while i could be having an active policy at the bank that dont mess me around.If this isn't sorted out by outsurance I'm taking this to the ombudsman.Im tired now and you wasted months of my time with this policy

I called in this morning to review my premium because they sent me an email that the premium was increasing as from January 2025.
I spoke with Ntokozo Mkhize this morning and he was able to reduce the premium for me.
I got on a call with another insurance company and called back to advise I want to cancel , I then spoke with Sabelo and he assisted me very well!! He managed to reduce the premium as from the 1st December already and managed to retain me as a satisfied customer.
Thank You to both Ntokozo and Sabelo.

Rejected third claim based on unfair principles that only apply to the insured

Disgusting and appalling behaviour from Outsurance.Their client was speeding because he didn’t want to miss a flight and turned right at a robot operated intersection without taking note of my car which was already in the intersection going straight.There was only one independent witness who was behind their negligent driver and he gave his details to the police.I made a third party claim against their client and they rejected it saying they will only take the information given by the people in their client’s car and won’t consider the independent witness who saw everything.

My family and I almost died and this is how we are treated.The irony in all of this is they asked me to provide an independent witness and my witness provided them with proof that he was there when it happened but still doesn’t matter.

To anyone thinking of making a third party claim,DON’T,your time will be wasted they will not pay out instead file a lawsuit against their client.

To anyone considering insuring with this company DON’T,if you get in an accident the other party will sue you and Outsurance won’t be there. Claim number 381443361

Feedback:they called me again to just waste my time and not offering to look into the claim again.How can you consider your client’s family as the only credible witness.Why did you waste my time asking me to send documents when you knew all along you were going to used things given by your client.

I will see your client in court soon and I will get my money,actual fair principles will be applied there.

OUTsurance - “Where you don’t always get something out”

Terrible experience with OUTsurance where “You always get something out”.
All of my sons sporting kit, gym kit and school bag with his laptop got stolen out of my Ford Ranger with fully comprehensive insurance. After we tried to claim we were told we had to have extra insurance for the contents. When we bought the vehicle OUTsurance was recommended by the dealership and we went for fully comp and had no idea we needed anything else. It seems like so many people get caught out by this as we have discussed it in the sporting groups at school as well as other friend groups. It’s going to be very annoying at all the school rugby matches as the refs are all OUTsurance - but at least we will be able to share what happened to us.

Harassment cold calls

I haven't even accepted the bank finance offer or test driven my chosen vehicle before I've started being harrased by Outsurance. Not sure where you've gotten my number from but I absolutely will not be taking outsurance for the car if this is how you are going to harass me. 12 calls in one day? As early as 6:30 in the morning?
