Coles Car Insurance

Is it true that Coles will only insure undamaged new cars ?
This is what happened when one of my relatives requested an online quote "complete with pictures of some declared minor door damage", to be told online insurance is not possible, call customer service.
Customer service agent told my relative Coles will only insure undamaged new cars.
Is this true?

Hi Teacher. I had my older car insured with coles when they were backed by wesfarmers and never had issues. As soon as they moved to another company I got out. Prices skyrocketed and were no longer competitive. My advice to you is don't use them. Try budget or Suncorp. As for not insuring a car with minor damage sounds ludicrous. I wouldn't waste my time with them. I hope that helps.

Spoke to customer care, My new car is one they don't insure, So the fact it is brand new, has a 5 star uncap rating means nothing to Coles. So I will be insuring this car elsewhere and moving my 3 other cars and 2 property insurances as well. Very poor of Coles to not care about loyalty to their customers.

Coles Car Insurance

How about when a person initially calls about lodging a claim, they be supplied with some sort of form, or information as to what they need to send to make the claim. I sent everything that I was told on the phone. I spent a lot of time organising and making sure I had everything that I was told was required. I spent many, many hours, hoping to make it as quick and easy as possible for the claim to be assessed and finalised. I waited the five business days I was informed that it would be reviewed within. Another two business days later, I received an email asking for additional documents. I was told that these are what is required for the type of claim I was making. Why could I have been given this information, by way of some standardised form, if this is the standardised method? Why was I informed of what was NOT covered by my insurance following the review of what I had sent? Particularly when I had made no claim for any of the NOT COVERED items listed. I sent photos, as requested, to demonstrate my claim, only to be told that they may not be valid evidence. It's pretty offensive to be told this. I now have a response starting the 5 business day cycle again. How about trying t make it easier, rather than as difficult as possible Coles?

Coles Car Insurance

Not a question but more a statement for Coles.
I was so excited to get my quote as it was a fair bit cheaper than the rest of the market. However I am glad I checked on here. This is just a message to let Coles know that people do read these reviews and base their purchases accordingly. I am aware of how skewed online reviews for services can be but I am struggling to find a meaningful positive review. Best of luck Coles Car Insurance, perhaps I'll look again next year.

If you were in doubt check the underwriter-IAG- I am not the only one that like the premium, coverage and claims experience- but if you want to pay more go ahead!

What ever you do, avoid any impulses to contact Youi Insurance as they have been charged and convicted 15 times for deceptive conduct, defrauding customers and most recently, under a full Royal Commission Inquiry for not paying claims. Coles Insurance is middle market and reasonably reputable for a new player in the market. bye

Contact them directly- make sure you received a record of your call. I recently transferred my policy to another car and they credited me the difference- I was offered either the credit card I used or cheque. Last resort would be to dispute transaction with bank. But why wait you should have done this after the 1st transfer from your account if you thought you had cancelled your policy

Adele

Oscar how can you write a comment here and not get yourself to your bank and stop the authority. Waiting a couple of months- ? And then complaining here- you obviously have more money than me.
