I was requested by an NRMA Auto Electrician Specialist to make a claim for my car. I did this on 4/10/20. It is now 28/10/20. It was assessed and claim declined though expert advice and knowledge of well respected auto electrician advised claim should go through. Reason? "Lack of maintenance and wear and tear". My car was registered on 25/9/20 as roadworthy for the next year. I have just spent over $3,000 maintaining it in past 2 months ( however, the car is " not maintained".) NRMA towed my car to 3 different KNOWLEDGABLE mechanics...all NRMA ...Read more

I took car insurance for my new Tesla X online yesterday. Today I had to call and confirm some details to activate. I liked CBA car ins as have had my accounts with them for 20 years, and they were interestingly half the price than other insurers. I was waiting for the catch.
I rang to give the info,(granted it was 5:25pm), to be told "we are not offering you insurance as you are not "exceptional", no explanation. Not sure what this means, but the girl was chewing gum as she said it.
We don't have our mortgages with CBA, but have done all othe...Read more

Who would have thought COMMINSURE would be so unprofessional, and unwilling to honour what they outline in their terms and conditions of their contract.

VERY UNHAPPY and won't be letting them let me down again after everything I have had to go through already. They should be honouring their position as the insurance policy provider.

I have been with comminsure for over a decade.
Had a front on accident, took about 6 weeks to repair should have been a ride off because two months later my 5 year old car only done 130kl now has a sezied motor?

They just called to say they don't think its due to the accident that rode my car off that they did 17k worth of repairs on?

I was involved in a minor accident (another vehicle rear-ended me). I took the driver's registration and licence details (including address). But because I did not have the other driver's phone number, I was going to be charged a $500 excess by CommInsure. So I had to drive to the guy's house to get his phone number. A few days later, I realise I was entitled to a rental vehicle while my car was being repaired. CommInsure did not disclose this to me. Yet they were quick to say I had to pay them $500 excess (which they eventually cancelled as I ...Read more

My car was heavily damaged in the Canberra hailstorm. CommInsure made me use their approved repairer which can only repair the car in Queensland. Four months in and my car is rusting away and still damaged Action Smart Group does not have the capacity to repair the vehicles in a reasonable timeframe but CommInsure want to save some money instead of providing the service I paid for. I had to phone up and make a fuss before they would let me book a local repairer.

My car is badly rusted at the moment and I know that even with repairs it is only...Read more

I can not stress enough, do not insure with this lot, they only want to take your money and will go to great lengths to avoid paying you out what your entitled to. I crashed my vehicle at the start of January and was stuffed around for 2months with them taking my vehicle for mechanical checks to try and find a reason not to pay out my insurance claim. They came back with a report saying that the the steering was faulty and damaged and knocked my claim back, I hit a tree which done substantial amount of damage to the front of the vehicle and wou...Read more

So our car has been destroyed by hail damage. We lodged a claim on the day it happened and asked if we could take our car to our preferred repairer place for assessment and for potential repair. The answer was yes. We had to wait few days for a hail damage specialist to be present at our repairer of choice. Car got assessed yesterday. Today we receive a call from cominsure. We need to take our car to actionsmart which is their approved hail damage specialist. If that’s the case why have cominsure wasted our time and said yes in the first place....Read more

My car was bit from the back which I was not at fault. I called Comminsurance after few minutes to discuss the situation, the call center representatives are very inexperienced and do not think out of the box.
Asked me to take the car to crash repairer and arranged for a loan car with HERTZ which is on the other side of the town when the HERTZ is 400 meters away from the crash repair moreover WHY hertz? Anyways, I had to pay hertz insurance money to secure the car why?
It take 30-40 minutes to talk to call centre representive each time when I c...Read more

I am so disappointed with the CommBank so much so that it made me to register on this site to give a review. I selected ONE star purely because CommInsure picked up the phone when I called.

I spent at least 4 hours (3 calls) with them that I have been wrongly charged for a claim purely on the basis that I hadn't made "the claim" but only "reported" the incident when it happened. I was put in the total darkness until the same bank sent a debt collector to me. When I asked them why I was not informed of the proceedings, then they simply said it ...Read more

Forget trying to call for a quote. Their Australian contact centre is severely understaffed. They will call you back. You suffer their rubbish IVR. Advertising. They can’t call you back at all at a prearranged time. They can’t email you anything. Has to be by post. Any issue and it’s 10 days + before you find out there is an issue with your cover. There is absolutely nothing these people get right and this is sales! Their communication fails to advise vehicle details. They just provide a policy number. When you have multiple vehicle policies yo...Read more

Setup fine. Value WAS good. Online claim system is pathetic, get's lost in commbank account. Cannot make a claim over the phone unless it's an emergency.

I was lead to believe that my excess was a tad higher at $1050 because of my increased monthly premium. I made a claim around a month ago, and had to request/pay/submit my 'official vic roads driving history' (have never had to do this in the past with any other insurance company). CommInsure turned around and said that by me driving my own car, my excess was $2650!!! (Apparently this was agr...Read more

Had an accident that was not my fault.
Called to find out the easiest way to deal with it and they suggested they do the claim and waive the excess. They will "deal with the other party" and let them do the heavy lifting.
1 month of me calling they still hadn't contacted the other party. left multiple messages.
from what i could tell they never even googled the company name to find an alternative number or email.
After 1 month of me calling and them telling me nothing changed, I called the person who seemed to have zero clue that comm insur...Read more

Got rear ended (not at fault). Gave CI the others driver's registration and driver's license details. After replacing the rear bumper by their approved business, When I picked up my car the next day I was told to pay the $600 excess. CI charged me the excess because the driver doesn’t have a phone number. On closer inspection of his licence it shows it expired 14 month ago! He operated the vehicle with no valid driver’s licence rear ended me!!! I have “comprehensive” car insurance. Definition “comprehensive” Cambridge Dictionary “Comprehensive...Read more
