Pet Insurance BEWARE!!!
Agree with all the 1 star reviews.... even worse, when I tried to cancel the policy, they still helped themselves to my direct credit at the bank. A scam like no other I have had the misfprtune to deal with. And this is through the RSPCA.

A JOKE
We are a secondary party to a claim and it is just beyond a joke.
I work in real estate and have worked with Hollards on a number of things and their hold times are about 20-40 minutes long on average.
There is no written communication back from them at all over a claim that spans the length of close to 6 months.
I always have to chase them up for everything and they are very clearly putting fake notes on their system from phone call conversations. I would welcome the company to provide the recordings from my conversation to confirm that thei...Read more

Stay Away From All Insurance Companies Underwritten By Hollard
My parents signed up with An insurance company underwritten by Hollards.
We recently had our home burgled, I had all my tools LOCKED inside the property at the Time of the robbery. However after being lied to consistently by the insurance company saying they hadn’t received information from the assessors I decided to call the assessor's directly where they confirmed they had already had spoken to hollards and it was all sorted on their end. Caught out lying again. They also refuse to cover the tools stolen as the receipts are in my name (the insurance policy holders son) laughable stay away

4 months later and still no resolution
I don't even know where to start with this company. I'm currently in a claim that has been going for 4 months. You ring a call center every time and try to explain the situation and its like talking to a wall. They review previous phone calls to figure out what to do, refer you to another person then say we need more information and the process begins again for weeks and weeks. The email always say we will contact you within 5 business days.....this rarely happens and if it does it is almost never by phone call. I'm constantly telling them to c...Read more
all me and they never do. I just want a straight answer on certain parts, but they find one little thing and don't move on until it is resolved, instead of doing multiple things at once to achieve an outcome.1 comment

Dont get close to those people
Start getting debits to my credit card from this company. Phone them and they ( after waiting on the phone for 30 minutes and been transferred to few persons) told me that they can not find any policy under my name. Not clear how they got my credit car details and why I was charge. They also advertising under real insurance so be careful

Don't Touch this Insurance Agency
Eleven and a half months ago my house was struck by lightening. I am still trying to settle the claim. Every phone call took at least a half hour to an hour to get through to someone... I actually had to increase my phone call allowance to cope. Every person I consulted was different, rarely were my concerns and needs met in the phone conversations, and unacceptable hours of time were wasted. The frig and solar inverter were replaced within "a reasonable time" but the reconnection of the gas and water costs is still being disputed. Even with intervention from a lawyer nothing has been resolved. Hollard has refused to answer. If you are thinking of using this company... DON'T.

Premium rocketed year after year after a claim
Got car insurance through Australian Seniors Insurance Agency. Had an at fault claim almost three years ago, First renewal, premium up 44.7%. Next renewal, another 19.25%!! Thought the hike was one off and subsequent ones in line with industry average. Apparently not so.
We accepted first hike without complain although it was quite astronomical. Can't accept second since similar increases will probably ensue for future renewals. Will walk.

Motor Vehicle Insurance Policy through Australian Seniors Ins Agency. Underwritten by Hollard.
We have a Motor Vehicle Insurance Policy through Australian Seniors Ins Agency. Underwritten by Hollard. We put in a claim for a motor vehicle accident and its taken five months to process, and then despite producing evidence to prove that we were being scamed by the other driver, our claim was rejected, The claims department is truly unprofessional. Staff don't follow up on what they promise.We wasted many, many hours on the phone......as well as writing letters to them. Hopeless, hopeless! Hopeless! Don't waste your TIME or MONEY with the Australian Seniors Ins Agency - underwritten by Hollard. Do yourself a favour and stay right away from them !!!

Look at my review history, I never do bad reviews but I can't help it with Hollard/Woolworths insurance
I was insured by Woolworths/Hollard for over a year full comprehensive car insurance, always paid on time always told them everything.
On the initial call they had asked if I had lost my licence I said yes, they asked if I had any fines in 2 years - I said no as I was told parking fines don't matter - when I goto claim after an accident that was not my fault they stated if they had known about a parking fines they would not have insur...Read more
ed me and there fore wouldn't pay out. I open a case with them and they send through audio files 12 times (no joke ) and each time the audio is distorted so the spoken words cannot be understood They ended up sending me a cd with the audio files after 8 weeks.Similar opinion?

Don't buy any Hollard Insurance product
Stay clear from all of Hollard Insurance products (and there are plenty masquerading as other companies' products) 48 pages of conditions for cat insurance shows you that this company never wants to pay out on any of its product as they are quick to point to a one line clause in page 37 of their T&Cs. Like most insurances these days they are set up not to pay out! The Competition panel should be looking into the practically monopoly this organisation has on the specialist insurance market.

Never use this Company, no stars
I have full comprehensive insurance so thought l was covered, while driving home from work at 11pm one winters night l hit a wombat, l couldn't see much damage so continued on my way (another 27 Ks) almost home the engine light came on so l crawled home, next day l took my car to my dealership who have worked on my car since new, 6 years old), they said the wombat has done more damage so go through insurance, they sent a quote to Hollard. When we never heard anything we called our dealership to be told that my car was towed to another repairer...Read more
. At no stage were we notified of this and we were very concerned as the repairer they sent it to was over an hour from our home in the country.Countless calls to Hollard who really had no idea what was happening so after 6 weeks l have my car back, first day of driving it all fine then second day almost to work and the light came on again, mind you to get to my work it is along 30 ks of very narrow country mountain roads and l work shift work.called the assessor who assessed my car and now he says to take it to my dealership and insurance will pay for it providing it is the result of an accident, What the !!!! anyway if l am fully insurered why didn't they use my repairer instead of taking it to some person who has no idea of the history of my car, l will be taking this further if l can actually find a phone number to complain to .Similar opinion?

Business interrupted 8 months later still haven’t paid even a progress
I spent big premiums with this company for the unforeseen event shall happen to protect my business.
That day happened 31-3-18
Took 4 months to get a list from the recovery company what was damaged
Items we were advised weren’t damaged, customers have sent back as in fact Damaged
The Assessor’s don’t call back I left numerous messages and texts to their phone for a follow up. As my customers were depending on this information to know when they would receive goods back, untarnished .
Now 8 months later, they’ve got bad, bank statements,...Read more

Disaster! No Stars!
Am am insured through Seniors insurance. They use Hollard.
I had a fire in my bathroom in February. Demolishers were sent who did a great deal more damage to my house.It's now October and so far only the preliminary plumbing has been done. ie. no walls, no floor, etc.
Meanwhile every room of my house has been impacted and looks like a workzone and not a home. cluttered with bathroom furniture and the black plastic they stuck to the floor has ruined the surface.
Disaster!!!
No stars!!!

Made a claim 15 days ago. Followed up numerous times. Nobody ever answers the phone. Left number to call back but nobody calls back. Sent an email only to be told to wait up to another 8 days. Have already lodged everything online so its pretty clear cut. Been with these guys for years for a number of policies, never had to claim until now. Not sure what else to do now.
