Assistance with SmartDrive

I have tried using this feature and it is still not tracking any of my trips. I would like the 10% off my premium, but the app keeps saying "You're 0% of the way towards getting your Smart drive score." I have set up my device in the prescribed manner and the app does say it's monitoring for a potential trip. I have driven well over 200km and on more than 5 occasions. I have tried using this for the past week, covering almost 500km and over 20 trips.

Change of address

Why must I pay to call your service? I see no "call me back" feature on your website. And why is there no direct email address that I can use? I have changed my address and need a representative to contact me to make the necessary amendments.

Contacting via Online

I am currently outside SA and only have access to Internet but no physical telephone lines or Cell signal. So WhatsApp etc is my only way of communication. What will the chances be for a WhatsApp or other online communication method to get hold of your advisers etc. Phoning via landline/cell for me, for example, is COMPLETELY out of the question as a client of yours once I have left the SA borders. Plus I think it would be a added bonus attracting clients. Thank You Ben

Unable to upload docs for Reward payment

I'm unable to upload documents and complete the process online for the R1500 reward as the system is not generating an OTP. I've responded to the e-mail with no reply and no one seems to get back to me in order to claim the reward for not beating my existing policy.

Very poor settlement of claim

I was not sure if i should send this complaint because the claim was settled,but i am still very unhappy, as i explained to the advisor you can not get a quote from a supplier that you get special prices from,because i would have to buy local and that they can not do things that only benefits outsurance ,the agent just told me that they do not accept any other quotes,yet on my previous claim they allowed me to get a quote locally , Because of that low settlement and the low quotes they got from their own service provider, they paid me about R2000 short,which with the deduction of the excess i had to pay almost R5000 in,i am still without a tv because i have to first pay of the diffirence before i can get a tv this is not looking after your customers its looking after your own pockets , and not the struggling customers just have to accept it,i am currently looking for a new insurance i already changed my car insurance outsurance is definately fooling people in their adverts

Pending claim

Me geyser burst on Saturday. I logged a call back before 6. I only received a call back on the Monday morning. You sent out the service provider and they were more interested in getting and excess paid than fixing the problem. After the agent explained that this will have to be paid before any work can be carried out. So I do as I was asked. Now 24 hours later the service provider is insisting on a POP for the excess. I have been in touch with the agent a couple of times. And they are not interested in helping a customer at all. I pay my insurance every month, I've paid my excess without any service being provided and still no one is wanting to assist. This is pathetic service from outsurance. I have never had such bad service from any insurance before. I will definitely be moving my business elsewhere. Outsurance is no longer interested in assisting their loyal customers.

Unpaid premium

I want to express my concerns about unpaid premium (policy OT23763303). I have asked for my debit order to be processed on the 26th of each month. I keep getting unpaid premiums, and you randomly deduct money from my account the following month. Why is that seemingly unable to be resolved?
