I had an accident Thursday, whole front damaged from minor impact! Called CGU within 20 mins. They first said they wanted me to drive to a repairer, 20 mins away. I said too much damage, towage needed. They said they arranged but when I didn't get any tow the next day called and had to go through whole claim again! What? From here they said their 'repairer' is who I need to contact. It has been a week - no one rings me at all. I advised the repairer it was urgent as I am a single parent with no other car. They "are waiting on parts". T...

I was at fault in a accident last Tuesday 12 January 2021. Car was assessed as a total loss on Friday 15th Jan. 20 January claim was settled and awaiting funds to turn up now in my bank. Quick Service and turn around. Friendly claims team who treated me courteously throughout claims procedure. From the initial call day of accident, I was shaken up from the accident while lodging my claim. They treated me with dignity from the start. Next car will be insured again with CGU. Highly recommended in your time of need.

I own a, now struggling small vehicle detailing business in Victoria. Just when you think that your up against it, being locked out of work, limits placed on you to restrict your right to trade, then this happens. A collision with the residual debris of storm damage on a country road led to, what I originally believed, minimal damage to my work vehicle. At first I wasn’t too concerned because I took refuge in the fact that I was insured.

This incident occurred on the 2nd September, I subsequently made a claim to CGU insurance on Thursday th...

My car was a right off after a lad ran into car I was paid out in 8 days cgu did what was needed service was prompt and courteous obligations fulfilled

My car was stolen and when it was recovered it was towed to CGU's authorised repairer - 40kms from the city in an area with no accessible transport. After 12 weeks and weekly phonecalls to ask for progress reports I finally get my car back. 12 weeks- must have been a lot of damage I hear you ask? The damage bill totalled $2600, mostly paint for some scratches and new keys. So for 1/4 of the year I had no car and no compensation. Worst insurance company I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.

They are lazy, inefficient, liar and time killer. Keep me on hold everyday for 20/30 mins and nobody talks to me finally. Such a rubbish company in Australia, can't believe it!

Lodged claim for the hailstorms in Canberra on 20 January 2020. I have been patient given the number of vehicles affected and claims. My vehicle was assessed for write off on 15 February 2020. I have called CGU twice this week and on the first day 18 February 2020 I was on hold for 3 hours and did not get to speak to anyone at all. Wasted 3 hours of my day. The next day I called, I was advised that the reason was that they haven't processed the claim was because they were waiting for me to surrender the vehicle. How is a client suppose to know ...

Lodged a claim on 20th January for hail damage, was told the "partner" repairer will contact me within 24 hours to book for an assessment. 2 weeks later receive a call from repairer whilst i was having in a meeting and couldn't pick up. Try to call back repairers to no avail, as i keep hearing the automated message. Called CGU if they can help me book the assessment on my behalf they said no and apparently the best they can do is send an email to repairer which i already did and obviously repairers don't reply emails too. It's been one month my car have not been assessed for damages can't wait to see how long it takes to get my money back from CGU if my car gets written off.

A CGU customer ran into the back of my near new stationary ute. I'm with Budget Direct and my ute is currently being repaired. I was advised today that repairs were going to take another few weeks, bringing the total repair time to 6 weeks, as they were waiting on a part from overseas.

Budget Direct provided me a hire car initially for 2 weeks. Upon learning that my ute wouldn't be ready for another 4 weeks I called Budget Direct to see if they would extend the rental car duration to cover the additional 4 weeks. The most Budget Direct ...

While customer service can be a little slow in responding (heavy workload possibly??) I am very happy with the value of the service provided to me. It's the first time I had to submit a claim and the outcome was excellent. Good repairer, good customer service by CGU in resolving the matter. Thank you!

I am comprehensively insured with CGU. I had an accident where the other driver was at fault. Communication is absolutely terrible. You speak with offshore human robots in Manila that don’t waver from their script. Anything they can’t handle is referred to assessors that don’t make contact with you as promised. I have been waiting 2 months for repairs. Be warned, CGU is part of Insurance Australia Group which includes SGIO, SGIC and Swann Insurance amongst others. I got on to CGU when I was police officer through Police Credit in Victoria (now...

we were with CGU for over ten years. we have never make a claim until recently i had a car accident and i was my fault. CGU was quick at getting my car fixed but did not deal with the third party insurer properly. I was told by the third party insurer that CGU did not even respond to her emails and phone messages. Eventually I received a letter from the third party insurer that i must respond within 7 days otherwise they will take legal action against me. Cant understand why they are not doing the work when all information have been given.

An...

Having been with CGU for years we will be looking elsewhere to cover insurance for all our family and business vehicles. I'm in the middle of a vehicle claim that has been ongoing since October and am appalled at the repeated communication failures that continue to this very minute. From the telephone system being in a state of disrepair and not up to the task (almost guaranteed to get cut off during a transfer then told repeatedly that it is a 'hot transfer' issue that has been going on for months) ..... to the photographs of my car being sent...

We decided to use cgu after getting a small discount through our bupa insurance. Unfortunately my husband was involved in a accident and our car came off worse. First thing i did once we did the police report was ring cgu. The first lady was helpful and polite and after taking details let me know that the claims officer would be in touch with in 1 business day. They were. They explained that it would be 2 to 3 business days for the assessor to be in touch. After that i got a email disputing the claim from the other driver. So i rung cgu and sai...
