Outsurance

[Iceman007]

You guys are making me worried now, I insured with Outsurance also.

I had a bad time with ABSA insurance when i wrote off my Tiburon.

Maybe ill get a quote from MF some time today.

Oh man got the Car back and geus what hapend? When they removed the door the pannelbeaters dented the bottom wheel arch but luckilly I noticed it and they repaired it but as you knoe its probably filled with body filler. You have to go to an outsurance pannelbeater and they pick the cheapest and dont care about your concerns. You shoud see some of these accredeted outsurance pannel beaters. My dad has learnt an expensive lesson but luckilly I have seen how crappy they are.

Second Hand parts and No choice in pannelbeater and No Service Thats Outsurance:argh::argh::thumbdo:

Go For Santam, they do not have hassles with claims.

Outsurance outsource their accessors, thus the accessors get commission on every rand they can save outsurance,causing this kind of crap to happen.

As For all the others Dial Direct, 1st for woman, Budget and most of the others springing up all over the place, are all underwritten by Auto and General, that have a very very bad reputation when it comes to payment of claims. They will look for any reason not to pay a claim.

Take for instance this HIPPO web site you can get up to 8 quotes from, all the companies on the list you get is underwritten by Auto and General.

PM Me if you want my brokers Tel No, They are underwritten by Santam and the pricing I got from them was the best off all the quotes I got.

X2 on this!!! i shopped like crazy for insurance for the BMW< now i am with Private client insurance under-written by Santam through a broker, they gave me not only the lowest rates but huge perks added to it for the BMW, Polo, household, hell even my golf games!

:thumbs: I agree

I spoke to my wife last night again about this thread, and she confirmed the following:
Santam will use new parts where available, so like on my E46, if certain parts can't be found at the dealers, then they would go to other places, like Bemows to find the parts, BUT ONLY AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE CLIENT!!
The problem is the older cars like Oom Kar said, he has an E36 and obviously the dealer won't stock all those parts anymore, so then the insurance company would have to use 2nd hand parts, but me being the owner and client should at least be informed of to which of these parts could not be found, so that i can do proper inspection as to the condition of the 2nd hand spares.
PS: Anyone that is interested in getting quotes from Santam, feel free to contact my wife: Roche - 012 3312837/9 I am sure she would be able to get you a great quote :thumbs:

:thumbs: Thanks and yes I dont mind secondhand parts if you dont get parts for the car anymore. My insurance is through Indwe brokers which use Santam and they good. For my friend is also with them and they sent his merc to orbits or where ever he wanted to go. Very good service

Now you guys got me worried....I'm with outsurance for a couple of years now and had no problems with them yet.
I claimed once when my windscreen was damaged due to a rock being thrown into it on my 320d.
The glass company that was to replace the windscreen did however try to fit an aftermarket windscreen but luckily i followed up first and stopped them and demanded a original screen from the steelers as i'm still gonna have to pay the same excess wether it's an aftermarket or original screen....
But now that i got my outbonus already :rollsmile: i think i'm gonna look around for other options now:thumbs:
