Pay as you drive insurance is what you want

published

Why pay comprehensive insurance when you only drive 5000 kms annually? Pay as you drive will save you lot. Having been with Real Insurance for the last 10 years, I am very happy with their service

I’ve been with real insurance for over 10yrs now with both car and home insurance. Lodging a claim was quick and easy. They worked through the whole process with me from start to finish.

Terrible communication

published

Been waiting nearly a month now for my Total loss claim. Very poor communication and have to wait 1-2 hours on the phone to only be told that i will have to wait longer for the team to assess the claim after I have sent all the documentation. No one has called me and have dad to follow up with every step.

Absolutely crap car insurance company

published

Most unorganised and pathetic car insurance company in Australia ....You think they'll look after you and your car when you make a claim for an accident but they don't. They tell you something else and do something else. And they don’t call you at all, you have to call and wait an hour to speak to someone if they don’t hang up on you.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go with them. Pay more and find someone better.

Its been more than 3 weeks after the assessor has told me your car is a total loss and some one from the claims team would contact you. I have written several email, called up multiple times but unfortunate to not have a single response. This is pathetic service!!!!

Great value for peace of mind

published

This is my true experience with real insurance and I’ve not been solicited or paid to give this review.

I’ve been with real insurance for 4 years now and I’m very happy. Every year I get my insurance renewal letter I ring up and speak to a customer service staff to make sure and negotiate the best value and policy for my mums car. Always at the end of the call I’m happy and have peace of mind because the customer service staff empathises with me and ensures we get the best coverage and policy that suits our needs. Good to have road side assistance there was an incident where the car battery died it was good we got that service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend real insurance. We’ve gotten very good value and service every year.

Always a pleasant experience

published

I felt my policy was very good value, I had a reduction on my insurance because of where my car was parked.
Setting up my policy was made easy and worked out thoroughly.
When I had a car accident I was looked after with respect, and courtsy because I was upset that I had crashed my car.
I have been with Real insurance for over 10 years and have always been satisfied with my policy.

Policy was great value, often half the premium from others. In the first 3 years I had 3 claims - where others were at fault. Excellent claim service. Best policy ever.

Mel C.asked

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!
