PATHETIC. After a robbery we were made to feel like the criminals, and it took two and a half months to get a payout. This company is only there to look after its own interests, not the clients. The fees went up over a $1000 in 2 years. Good Riddens to huddle FOR EVER. Show details

Disgusting assessor . Push for your rights – I was digusted at the treatment I got from the assessor. She did not know her job. Kept giving me wrong information , and was trying to get out of paying me . Told me I was not covered. Then she tried to pay me less than I was I was owed. Then I pushed for the ombudsman and adifferent assessor. Then it got fixed. She should be sacked from her job. She caused me undue stress and anguish I should sue her.! Show details

Worst Insurer in Australia – The worst contents insurance company in Australia. The company groups items into a "collection" and then minimize their payout of the "collection" to $1000. How thoroughly corrupt is this company. So if you have multiple items of jewellery stolen, they will only payout a maximum of $1000 on the entire collection Avoid this company! Show details

Morally bankrupt – What a disgusting, morally corrupt company. We were at the receiving end of an agravated burglary, whereby jewellery, personal items (including gifts), and last remainging heirlooms were stolen and all Huddle can worry about is whether or not we have the receipt. How on earth can you have the receipt from heirlooms and gifts and items purchased… Read more

Once we have made a claim with Huddle, we will AVOID this company and tell everyone to be avoding this morally bankrupt company.

HUDDLE Worst Insurance Company/s Ever – Our home was broken into by thieves who smashed through the downstairs of our house, stole our safe which contained my grandmothers wedding rings, hubbies wedding ring and gold chain plus our son’s navy medals and my rare coins collection and jewellery plus other items, they destroyed the laundry door and when they couldn’t get in they went down… Read more

stairs of our house pulling the sliding door out of the brickwork on May 20th 2024. Huddle have different insurance companies handling our claims Inc Open and IVAA all of which are hopeless at their jobs, no communication, no phone calls, won’t accept quotes. Huddle only deal with building companies from cities who only employ immigrants and even though we wanted to use local builders but they paid us on their builders quote; all while Huddle handled our claim with the most incompetence. Huddle have strung payments out over 6 months and DO NOT do replacement items, what you nominate your jewellery to be worth is exactly what they pay you; not replacements jewellery costs, we cannot replace anything we lost in total. Huddle won’t pay anything you think you are covered for. Then Huddle says we will pay you $9,172.80 but they only paid $7,972.80 guess someone pocketed the other $1,200.00. If you treasure your property, jewellery or any contents you have then do not insure with Huddle. My policy is basically worthless because l can’t replace anything l lost!

Do yourself a favour - don't insure with Huddle!! – Extremely poor response times. They repeatedly missed appointment times. After months of chasing they rejected the claim (I had to contact them to find this out also) Do yourself a favour - don't insure with Huddle!! Show details

Poor response time.Difficult to contact – Can't contact by phone. Booked a call back phone call for 2 days later. Took time of work waiting for the 2 hour window. No call came. No way to contact other than complaint email. Often took days and sometimes over a week to get responses to my questions via email. Dragged out my claim and delayed my repairs for weeks. Show details

Best Insurance Company I have dealt with – Huddle were quick to act to our claim. I heard back from my initial application in a couple of days. The assessors were out the following week and then the claim was processed straight away. The team were friendly and Australian! The policy was better value for money than our previous insurers. Show details ·  1

Excellent Insurance Company - wonderful customer service – This was my first Insurance Claim in over 50 years and I couldn't speak highly enough of the customer service that I received from Huddle. I dealt with Adam and his quality of service was outstanding. I was informed the progress of my claim every step of the way. My claim was quickly resolved and I would highly recommend this business to others without any hesitation. Thank you. Show details ·  1

Smooth contents claim process – My recent Contents claim went smoothly. Luckily I had listed my iPhone on my policy. I went online to lodge my claim, had a few interactions asking for further info, then spoke to Adam who was so helpful and finalised my claim understanding the urgency to have a replacement phone. Thank you Huddle - not only ate your premiums cheaper but your staff are fantastic to deal with. Show details ·  1

Don't expect a good claim result – I hope you never have to make a building claim with this company. Storm damage in July 2022 but my mums claim was rejected due to faulty workmanship. We had reports saying that the roof was structurally sound when we brought the property prior to the event. Didn't matter. They use their own dodgy building accessors who do anything needed to get the claim rejected. Avoid at all costs. Show details

Great Customer Service! – I had a claim for fusion involving a solar array. The online claim process was easy and the response was fast.

A very good claims experience – I needed to claim due to a stolen personal item. I found the process to be quite straightforward and the people I spoke to were very helpful. The only reason this doesn't get the extra star is because I had to do follow up between Huddle & the vendor who was replacing the item that was claimed. Otherwise it was a pretty good experience. Show details ·  1

Avoid and go with a more reputable company – Wouldn't bother with this company as they don't pay out on legitimate claims. Read the PDS and move on to a more reputable company as one that's advertised on T.V. Show details
