What's the difference? How is it that Real Insurance has such a poor customer rating while Seniors Insurance, also a Hollard brand, has such a high one?

Real Car Insurance

I received a quote to renew my insurance and it has gone up as it always does even if you never make a claim. This is just 3rd party, fire & theft for a 1999 car that is lucky to be worth $2000 and they insure it for up to $10,000. They said it would be cheaper if you pay annually instead of by the month to which i asked for the quote and they took around $9 off the premium...really? I had some other quotes which were cheaper and I asked could they do anything else to keep me as a customer and they said no.



I was just wondering why you expect your current customers to pay more for the same thing than a new customer?

Hi Mel
You're absolutely right to ask questions. I wrote off a car in August and I was paying my comprehensive car insurance by the month. The insurance renewal was in June and Real Insurance deducted the next 10 months worth of premium (just over $1000). In other words, they charged me 10 months worth of insurance on a car that no longer exists. Look elsewhere for insurance and check the PDS very carefully to make sure that in the event you have to make a claim that they don't punish you! Don't think twice about this mob - move on!

Callianisasked

Real Car Insurance

My odometer reading is incorrect as I didn't call to let you know my updated odometer reading when my annual insurance was renewed, and you based the current year reading on the previous recorded year. This means that technically I was outside of my coverage. I've a photo of my odometer 3 weeks before renewal showing the updated reading. Would this be enough evidence to back date my insurance? And would I have to pay the $2000 excess if I were to have a crash?

Real Car Insurance

Do unused km on pay as you drive insurance carry forward on renewal? Your PDS says no. Your rep on phone call says yes but I'm reluctant to accept verbal assurance that conflicts with the PDS and certificate of insurance. I need written confirmation to confirm I am insured. Customercare don't answer emails on the topic. Why is this so hard to clarify?

Hi Grant, just wondering what was their response. I am in similar situation.

Grant
Grant

Sam - I ended up going with another insurer in the end. The messaging back from Real was inconsistent and I note that the PDS still states that you don't retain unused km on renewal. Everyone I spoke to at Real said that you do but I would hate to test this following a prang in the unused km period.
