During the phone call with the representative from the Toyota insurance company, I was informed that the excess I paid would not be reimbursed, even if the other party is found to be at fault. This is difficult to justify, as I do not believe I was at fault and was required to pay the excess due to the insurer’s failure to resolve the matter over a four-month period. Show details
Extremely Disappointing Claims Experience. If I could give -0 stars, I would I would strongly caution anyone considering this insurer to carefully review their options before purchasing a policy. I am currently in the middle of a claim, and the level of service I have received has been extremely disappointing. The waiting times are excessive, yet… Read more
I have repeatedly been told they are "reasonable." I was advised that it could take up to three weeks just to have my vehicle booked in for repairs, which is difficult to accept, particularly when I am not the at-fault driver. One of the first things I was told after lodging my claim was that I would be required to pay an excess of $1,350. This was despite providing a detailed incident report, photographs, and diagrams that clearly supported my account of the accident and demonstrated that I was not at fault. I was then informed that the other driver would be given up to three months to respond with their own statement and supporting information before liability could be determined. In the meantime, I would remain out of pocket for the excess. What I found particularly frustrating was the suggestion that the other driver could simply dispute liability regardless of the evidence already provided. This gave the impression that my evidence carried little weight and that I was being treated with unnecessary scepticism despite being a paying customer. The handling of information gathering was equally disappointing. The other driver was aggressive and confrontational at the scene, to the extent that police assistance was required. Despite being informed of this, I was asked whether I had the other driver's phone number, as though I should be responsible for collecting information that I pay my insurer to obtain as part of the claims process. Throughout my dealings with the company, the term "reasonable" has been used repeatedly to justify lengthy delays and poor communication. When I lodged a formal complaint, I was informed that it was "reasonable" to wait up to 30 days for a response from the complaints department. I also requested to speak directly with the person managing my claim but was told they were unavailable and was redirected to another representative. Overall, my experience has been that customer service is prioritised when premiums are being collected, but when a claim is made, the process becomes unnecessarily difficult, slow, and frustrating. Prior to this policy, I was insured with NRMA for many years and had consistently positive experiences. I only moved to Toyota Insurance based on recommendations provided at the time of purchasing my vehicle. Unfortunately, my experience has not reflected those recommendations. In contrast, my previous insurer never required me to chase information from the other driver, repairs were organised far more quickly, complaints were acknowledged promptly, and the claims process was significantly more straightforward and customer-focused. Once this claim is resolved, I will be returning to NRMA. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Toyota Insurance to others.

They tried to get me accept a cash payout for repairs when their customer was 100% at fault (hit my parked car), dragged the claim for months and only caved when legal got involved. Show details

Poor experience with Toyota Insurance claim handling. I lodged a claim for my Toyota Yaris 2023, claim number TI552878, after the vehicle had an incident and was later confirmed unsafe and not recommended to drive. My main concern is the lack of support and slow progress in the claim assessment process. My initial request was for assistance with… Read more
towing the vehicle, but instead I was advised to resolve the problem myself and drive the vehicle to City Toyota. Fortunately I called and shared my car’s condition to City Toyota before, I was advised to drive my car to Hargrave Motors. I found this very disappointing, particularly given the vehicle has confirmed to have safety concern.
The vehicle was left with Hargrave Motors following City Toyota’s recommendation, and I provided the claim details to Toyota Insurance on 20 May 2026. However, the assessment has still not been finalised. Toyota insurance appeared to outsource to “Adica”. “Adica” stated that Hargrave is not their recommended repairer even I provided communication evidence from City Toyota. “Adica” did not give me any timeline for assessment due. After 7 business days of claim, I called to follow up and they stated that they spotted a typo in the repairer quote and requested for a resent. And they need to review the “revised quote” all over again now.
This delay has prevented the repair process from starting and has caused unnecessary inconvenience. I expected better support, clearer communication, and more timely assistance from an insurance product carrying the Toyota name.
I am now preparing to escalate this matter further if Toyota Insurance does not provide a clear and timely resolution. I am requesting Toyota Insurance to follow up and confirm:
1. The current status of my claim assessment 2. Why the assessment has not yet been finalised 3. The expected date the assessment will be completed 4. Why towing support was not arranged when initially requested 5. What support will now be provided, given the vehicle has been confirmed unsafe to drive 6. What urgent action will be taken so the repair process can commence
Based on my experience so far, I am disappointed with Toyota Insurance’s responsiveness, towing support, communication, and claim assessment handling. I hope Toyota Insurance can urgently improve its communication and resolve my claim without further delay.
Follow and obey their rules and requirements, still end up paying 700 dollars because the other party they told me was not response to their calls. Show details

We are extremely dissatisfied with our recent experience with Toyota Insurance for our brand-new Toyota HiAce. The vehicle was hit while parked by another driver (Hyundai i30) who was fully at fault. The impact damaged both the front bumper and the bonnet. While Toyota Insurance agreed to cover the bumper, they refused to cover the bonnet,… Read more
claiming that the i30’s height made it impossible for such damage to occur. This assessment disregarded our explanation and the very plausible mechanism: the other vehicle had a roof rack with surfboards extending above its height, which slid forward during the impact and struck the bonnet.
We attempted to provide additional photographic evidence to demonstrate this plausibility, but the claims team refused to accept any new evidence, stating they already had “enough information.” This approach shows a lack of openness to reviewing all relevant facts and results in an incomplete repair for a vehicle that is less than 3 months old.
Due to this handling, we decided to proceed through the at-fault party’s insurer (NRMA). However, Toyota Insurance has also failed to send the release letter required for NRMA to take over the claim. We were told this letter would be sent within 3 business days; it has now been 4+ business days with no communication or delivery, unnecessarily delaying the repair of our work vehicle and directly affecting our livelihood.
This has been a highly frustrating process marked by unhelpful customer service, inflexible claims handling, and failure to meet promised timeframes. We expect Toyota Insurance to prioritise fair and timely resolution for policyholders, and this experience has fallen far short of that standard.

Very disappointed with our claim process. I was struck by another driver on the backend of my car coming out of an intersection. The other driver driving recklessly was over the other side of the road as they had cut the corner moving too fast.… Read more
Photos from the accident showed this clearly. Toyota Insurance from the onset appeared to side with the other driver. They awarded against myself and held me at fault without any further discussion or investigation. There is no transparency in their process and I was told there was no use complaining as it was already done. After many years as a loyal customer, we are moving to Hyundai and all their associated services. Will be the last Toyota we will purchase. They expect photos and as much detail in the initial digital submission then require a further handwritten and hand drawn diagram - 1990 called and wants their technology back. Save your money and choose a better and more experienced insurer like Youi
Follow-up · Tried to appeal, they did an internal review and said that google maps showed right of way on the other party (despite me being out of the intersection and the other car coming around the corner over double lines). The final outcome is that Toyota Insurance and Toyota themselves will never get anymore business from us.

expensive premiums. They just didn't care at all, how on earth did they get named the Small-Medium General Insurance Company of the Year at the Australian Insurance Industry Awards in 2024 - it must of been bought or lack of competition. DO NOT INSURE WITH TOYOTA INSURANCE//ADICA. Time to sell my Toyota, I don't want anything to do with Toyota or their insurance.
Follow-up · Toyota Head Office reached out but it was too late. Won't be buying anything Toyota related ever again. Why does it take a review like mine for Toyota & SADICA insurance to help when neither were there to help when I initially complained. Steer clear of Toyota Insurance and Toyota

Toyota Insurance were great processing the claim but could have been more proactive dealing with repairer who took 7 weeks to repair the car. The Toyota app showed they worked on it for 3 days only! Show details · 1

I am extremely disappointed with the renewal process and customer service at Toyota Insurance (ADICA). I have a 2016 Prado GXL with extensive professional modifications, including a certified 3500kg Lovells GVM upgrade, a 340Ah triple lithium power system, and high-end touring gear like a CampBoss Fusion rooftop tent and Rhino-Rack Backbone… Read more
system. Despite providing itemised evidence of these modifications, Toyota Insurance insisted on an Agreed Value that significantly under-represented the total build. This would have left me with a massive coverage gap if the vehicle were written off. I attempted to engage with their team via email to provide a full schedule of modifications and request a manual valuation. Instead of a personalised response or a phone call to discuss the build, I was simply met with automated renewal reminders that completely ignored my concerns. It is clear that their system is not designed to handle "real" 4WD builds or GVM upgrades. If you have extensive custom work, you are likely massively under-insured with Toyota. I have now moved my business to a specialist insurer who actually recognises the full replacement value of my vehicle. I will not be recommending Toyota Insurance to any serious tourers or 4WD owners.

Have lost faith in the under writers, internal dispute team and awaiting a determination after more than 6 weeks likely doing to drag on with AFCA and leaving me a customer who paid premium insurance likely without a loan car and vehicle for more than 3 months. Pay some extra money and insure with someone else. Never again will I go with this underwriter.
