Call centre in Fiji hopeless
Called to sort out an issue with my policy yesterday. Could barely understand a word. Eventually the woman went away and said she would call me back so I stayed home until 6pm and no call. This afternoon I tried again and got a different person. It took 3 hours to sort out the matter. I am still awaiting email confirmation. Could barely understand this one either. Was played a tape that I had to say I understood but it was so fast I couldn't follow it. I had an excellent claim experience late last year but this experience has made me look around for a company that has a NZ call centre. After over 30 years of loyal custom this is totally unacceptable. I won't be staying once I find a better alternative.

I was on the phone to a lady from Fiji…
I was on the phone to a lady from Fiji for one hour and 56minutes to get insurance on a new property I have purchased. The on hold music was repeated and I did not enjoy it at all. So many questions about a property that with AI now available, I would have thought Tower would have had far more information about the location than I have, and with Tower's large share of the market in N.Z would have many properties around the property I was insuring and be aware of answers to questions that they would already know the answers to. And then the contents insurance had to be completed the following day. I have all my insurance with Tower and have had it with them for decades. I am still to find out if I am to get a free security camera, because I have taken out a new house policy. Cheers

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for sharing. We utilise a number of systems to obtain information on properties, however, to ensure that we get the details correct, we do require customers to confirm certain details for us.
We're sorry to hear that the process took additional time for you, and we appreciate you taking the time to share this with us for further review.
I'm unable to see you having been eligible for the security camera promotion unfortunately, however, if you believe this is not the case, please contact our team on 0800 808 808 for further review.
Thanks,
Tower Team

The Tower website was easy to follow and helpful by putting the information we needed in, they already knew the plan of the house and it's information which was very helpful. It was fast and the options were good and we knew how much we were paying for our insurance before we finished answering all the questions. I have and will recommend Tower.

I was on hold for 1.5 hrs
I was on hold for 1.5 hrs. Hours that I will never get back.
All I wanted to do was add a new car to our existing policy, but No I had to start another policy. Is a pain in the butt. We only wanted 1 policy !!!!!!

Hi Helen,
We're sorry to hear that you were unable to reach our team easily recently - this isn't the level of service we aim to provide.
Our policies are individual to each asset, unfortunately, we cannot insure multiple assets under one - however, we appreciate your feedback around this.

Tower invoiced us for policies that we had cancelled
You managed to invoice us for 2 policy continuations despite our having given you notice that we had switched insurers. That you reimbursed the funds within a few days was a relief, but it should never have happened.
