5 Judy  · Easy to set up, saved me money and very good established company

5 Alex  · Quick, easy quotes & competitive prices . Helpful staff if needed to talk to someone. Comprehensive cover with options & great Woolworths Rewards benefits.
2 John F.  · Same as all the others, they were cheaper this year. There is no such thing as loyalty in the insurance market, shop around every renewal and save some money.

I’ve had my policy for about 8 months. Found it when I bought a new car second hand and was looking around for new insurance. Cheapest policy by far and it doesn’t skimp on what you’re covered for. I’ve had to make a claim in the first few months when my parked car was damaged, and it was all pretty easy to pop in some details and photos, and… Read more ·  1

then the repairer contacted me to organise to get it fixed at no cost to myself.

I also love getting up to $10 off with the 10% off a monthly shop at Woolies. Saves up to $120 per year making the policy even better value for money.

The only drawback was the time I had to wait to get into the repairer. My car was in a drivable condition, but if it wasn’t, I would have been without a car for a few weeks (I was already without a car for a week while it got repaired because I didn’t opt in for hire car cover). But in saying that, that’s not really the insurance company’s fault, more the local repairer. I had to take the car in to them first so they could take their own pics, they had to send away a quote etc and then call me to organise an appointment to bring it in for the actual repair. So from the day I made the claim to picking up my fixed car was 5 weeks.

Buyer beware! Check the Woolworths Insurance promotion - SHOP60 before you proceed! I calculated my insurance several times both with and without the code. The code added $10 per month to my premium. In fact COSTING me $120! Customer service was fine once my call was taken after a 45min wait. Show details

 Follow-up  · As age catches us money becomes scarce, bank savings non existent, our home becomes our sanction. Budgeting is tighter so choosing Woolworths Car Insurance has been priceless to us. Technology rules the world, the words “you are number 19…on the list” is what it is today. Over 50 years tried many insurance companies, Here I am here I’ll stay.

 Follow-up  · We receive our renewal online each year very easy to follow. The policy information absolutely gives us assurance, satisfaction and truly we stand by and recommend Woolworths Car Insurance. "10% Off your GROCERY BILL" every month. Does your current Car Insurer gift you ?

Great inclusions – I took out a policy a couple of months ago after much research. The price is very competitive, the options are laid out plainly. The 10% monthly Woolworths discount is a great monthly reward and further enhances the insurance price. I believe I… Read more ·  3

can also get a 5% discount on gift cards. I haven't needed to make a claim yet but am confident at this stage it will be handled well if I do. They also send me a text to let me know when there's a storm in my area, very informative and handy.

 Follow-up  · I'm still with them! I haven't made a claim yet so I can't comment on that. The price is still good, that's why I've stayed with them. Every time there's a storm near me they've sent me a message, meaning I'm prepared. I haven't purchased a gift card yet but get the 10% off a shop every month. I renew online and it's quick and easy.

Following my own "policy" of credit where it is due, leaving a positive for everyday insurance after a cracked windscreen glass claim (was paying for glass cover and hire card cover). On way home from school sports last Saturday, a small stone hit in jsut the right spot and caused a ~60cm crack right through the driver side of my windscreen. I put… Read more ·  2

in a claim at weekend, and as it was "glass only" , it was approved over the weekend. The only problem, lost them a star, was automatically allocating it to O'Briens glass, who do not do the original glass for the vehicle. As it happens I called O'Briens directly on the Saturday and they'd already told me they couldn't do the job, so I got a quote from the dealership - who gave me a quote for original OEM window replacement on Tuesday. After O'Briens gave a 1 week lead time to the insurer (who would have then had to provide me a hire car), They accepted I could pay the dealership and reimburse me for the repair . This did require seeing approval, it's not an automatic given I think, but because O'briens had a delay it was the cheaper option. Windscreen was replaced and money settled within the week, which was a whole lot of stress avoided.

All contact with everyday insurance (who front a service provided by Hollards) was first class, and no "disagreements". They were professional, curteous, and efficient.

AVOID AVOID AVOID - HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE We called to remove the direct debit details with plenty notice before our policy renewal, saying we were shopping around for a better deal. We were told by them "THE DIRECT DEBIT WAS CANCELLED". Low and behold to my surprise Everyday Insurance took the $ money anyway. It has been a NIGHTMARE… Read more

trying to get this fraudulent transaction refunded. We have made multiple calls to Everyday Insurance and lodged an official complaint, notified them of the date and time of direct debit cancellation information so they could investigate the phone recording. Received an email asking for details of proof of sale for the vehicle before a refund can be made. We have received multiple calls from different staff members trying to resolve this issue, saying they will call back on another day without that happening. It is now three weeks plus from first contact regarding this issue. Needless to say we are still waiting for the refund. There has been NO POSITIVE OUTCOME so far. We had the policy for 2 years, I shudder to think how a claim would have played out, if this simple mistake on their behalf cannot be resolved easily. Maybe only A Current Affair can sort this hopeless situation.

Under Woolworths car insurance promotion, it offers new customers 1,000 reward points every month for 12 months. When I purchased the policy online & put in the promotion code. But after 3 months, the offer still NOT honoured. I called them, the rep said,”I didn’t put in the promotion code”. I said,”Woolworths should not do this dirty trick to… Read more

lure new customers, it has no excuses to deny the claim”! Then the rep said, I need to cancel the existing policy, and create a new policy to claim the reward points also the premium may different. What a NOT laughing joke! it wasted me an hour on the phone to answer all the questions to create the new policy!

Is this the tactics for Woolworths to mislead customers and deny the claim ???!!!

Had come a cross it before, and I thought its a scam. Not only did you get a better quote money wise, but gaining 10% once a month at Woolworths made it a no brainer. I have only been using the insurance for a couple of months, so cant really ad anything else for the time being, but I think its promising. Show details ·  1

Everyday Car Insurance was fantastic when I first signed up. They quoted my EV at around the mid-$1,000s when several other insurers wanted more than $2,000 a year. I also like the Woolworths perks. The monthly 10% discount and cheaper gift cards are actually something I use, so they're not just marketing fluff. The only downside is what seems to… Read more ·  1

happen with every insurer. The longer you stay, the less competitive the pricing becomes. When I upgraded to a newer EV, my premium jumped to around $3,000 a year. It wasn't the highest quote I received, but it was enough to make me start comparing providers again. A good insurer with competitive pricing for new customers, but don't forget to do the annual shop-around when renewal comes up.

not contact him. Then they wanted to write off the car which was still drivable as the damage was cosmetic...some scratches on the driver's door, front and back bumpers are slightly out of alignment. I refused to have the car written off and they won't pay for the repairs. The car was not repaired. They renewed the insurance last year but this year, they refused as they deemed the car not roadworthy and said to go look elsewhere to insure the car. I would NEVER recommend nor insure with this company again.

I can speak to a human, that counts for a lot. I like that you can link your rewards to your insurance and benefit from it. It was fairly simple to cancel the cover when I sold my car.
