APIA not for pensioners

published

Not satisfied at all. My mothers green slip went up without notification, because they claim that she had an accident (but didn't claim) Then because they couldn't send out an amended greenslip, sent her a letter saying that if she didn't pay the difference they would cancel her rego. Won't be going back to APIA again as they are dearer by far and make no allowances for no internet or credit card. Very not happy

Might as well have no insurance

published

Avoid like wild fire! Repairs and paints one side of the bumper and leaves the rest damaged! This is how they work, exactly in their words. Every excuse under the sun and cheapes/nastiest way to repair is approved!

apia car insurance

published

Over 55's and pensioners should check all other insurance before blindly taking out APIA. Apia is actually GIO masquerading as a stand alone company.All their ads show people who "saved" money.The facts are that there are cheaper insurance companies for pensioners and APIA is preying on gullible pensioners . If you cannot check on the net yourself get someone to do it for you..DONT GET SCAMMED!!

Car insurance

Policy was good value but customer service is crap they have no idea all they under the privacy law you need to give us all your private information well they need to learn what privacy questions they need to know as when they call you they want your private information and that is not right how do we know who they are I have now cancelled my policy as they have no idea you should only have to give them your name and policy number and maybe a password they don't need your bank details or the phone number your ringing from as they already have it in front of them. Wake up APIA and other insurance company's we now live in a time where we need to protect ourselves so come up with a different way to do things.

published

As an existing rating 1 APIA customer I received a phone quote for car insurance that seemed expensive, I then entered my details into the online site but in error put my neighbours house address. My quote when I corrected the address was 30% more!! Same car, garaged, the only variable change was the street number. I then entered all of my immediate neighbours addresses into to online site and discovered that it was only my address that was 30% more! The houses are similar in structure and in size. I have never made a claim and have been a customer of APIA for 3 years. It seems APIA take advantage of their existing customers. Very disappointing:(

Easy and satisfying claim

published

I find the premiums quite good value - not the cheapest but satisfactory. The recent claim I made was easy and worked a treat. Replacement hire car was simple and fast - the repair took a long time but that was because the manufacturer didn't have parts in Australia (!?!) so no fault of APIA. Happy customer for over 10 years now.

Told to go ahead and pay for caravan aircon then dropped like hot potato

published

I have been with APIA some 15 years fully com (car and caravan) had one claim for pull out awning so when my air con motor burned out I rang them and all was ok. I said that I would pay for it and they would reimburse back in to bank. The price of air con was $2600 fitted, APIA gave me $1000.00 but I had to give them $200.00 excess so really I got $800.00. Now with other insurance and saving money.

Abusive

I contacted them once and they now continually contact me and it is becoming frustrating and inappropriate. I suggest not contacting them as it seems once you are un the system you won't find peace.

Ripped off Senior!

After making a no fault claim for my father and being informed the Car was a write off, it was very disappointing to be told that We cannot cancel the Registration with Vic Roads as the car now belongs to them. How is it fair that we pay for the Registration and Apia cancels it and keeps the refund. Apparently it is written in the fine print of the policy. I contacted VicRoads and was told there are a couple of Insurance companies that do this so make sure you all read the fine print !

Car Insurance

After your car is repaired and you cancell the policy does the life time guarantee still apply if you are still the owner of the car and you go to a different company

"Life", in English, may refer to the life of the car, OR your lifetime, [perhaps another 50 years]? They should not cancel it while you are still alive. To stop the "lazy tax" [people who are too lazy to check competitors prices] we should check prices AND what the coverage is, every year or two [plus the star ratings on Product Review].

Hi Rick to be honest mate I'm so pissed with this company I actually dont care anymore even now two WEEKS after the accident I still dont have my car back but for sure I'll NEVER go back with them again the only good thing thats come out of this is the bad publicity they've gave themselves, just beggars belief aye ?

Try contacting Consumer Affairs & I think there is an Insurance Ombudsman who will act if they ignore your written requests. The manager may have gone off "sick" [due to "overwork"!] Request his underlings help you, & refer them to this widely read product review site, which is giving them even more bad reviews, & losing them LOTS of business!

The insurance co. will tell you. Why dont you ASK them? I believe you can claim the full amount, LESS any excess YOU have chosen.
