Vehicle Insurance help

I used to be at Santam and now I'm at Hollard. Can't complain about any of them, but in both cases, it is done through a broker. Pretty much everything that Matt said stands.

As for Outsurance... The older you are, the better they are for you. At this stage, they're still quoting me about double what I'm paying right now. I've also heard that they sometimes like finding technicalities to not pay out which is where the broker is useful. I've had a stolen laptop once where the insurance company didn't want to pay out and after the broker intervened, they finally paid out.

Funny, I used to be with Hollard, but my broker got me to move to Santam (Since then moved to M&F). At the same time, the same broker got a guy who works with me to change from Santam to someone else, basically because our situations and insurance needs are different, and different insurance companies suited us better. That's the kind of thing that regular folks like us don't really understand properly.

Don't know if you remember but Outsurance were running a thing where if you could get a better quote then what they were offering they would pay you R200. Don't know if they are still doing it.
