As per my customer service experience the purchase experience was overall poor. I initially rang to cancel my old policy before starting my new one and the rep didn't even try to keep me as a customer - barely asked why I was cancelling. No effort or nor any interest in their role displayed.
I have been a customer for years - it was not an easy transition to my new car. I also thought it very poor that there was no customer loyalty incentive. When I asked I was simply told no, the customer service rep did not even try to keep me as a customer. It was clear they didn't care if I signed up or not. I actually spoke to 2 people and both their sentiments were the same.

Terrible. Agent kept me on the phone and asked details if when I would be free for a call backs. I gave these. I then received calls at completely different times which I could not answer. Nobody called at the time agreed.

Real seem to have interesting priorities...
Trusted Customer – Rated 3.5 out of 5
The actual insurance product is quite competitive and comprehensive. Shame I had to negotiate for value.
I was very confused that I was quoted a more expensive renewal fee via renewal letter than when I applied for a quote online. I called to discuss only to be told that REAL insurance offer a cheaper price to new customers. I managed to negotiate a discounted rate after requesting to speak with a manager who, to their credit, was very kind and helpful. I still find it strange that REAL seem to focus more on appealing to new as opposed to investing equally or more so into looking after existing loyal customers. Pretty disappointing to know other people are probably getting ripped off because they don't have the time to call and speak with staff....

Hit-and-miss service - some staff are great, some...

The 1st person that I dealt with on 21/7 morning was good. However, the 2nd person I dealt with in the afternoon of the same day to modify the policy was not great, rude & initially not willing to help. The policy is to be started on 29/7, but he said that it will start on 11:59pm 29/7 which I told him that was not correct & should be 11:59pm or midnight 28/7/21. He was not willing to admit his mistake either - not good customer service. I requested the modified policy to be emailed to me, to which he confirmed the email address..., however still had not received the next day 22/7. I then had to make another call on 22/7, and the person that I dealt with was great & emailed it out straight away.

Operators were nice, but frustratingly repetitive on...
David Morris – Rated 2 out of 5
The purchase process was horrible as described in the customer experience. I cannot offer feedback on the quality of the purchased product yet as I have not had to use my policy yet (and hopefully never need to).
I had to call up 3 separate times to the call center as I was not ready to purchase on the initial call, however each time I called they could not find the additional driver I asked to add onto the policy. They had to repeat this process over and over. Also, I received a quote with a link to buy it later, but the link took me to the website to start all over again and answer all questions again. I already had a firm quote with a premium provided. Why on earth would I need to start from scratch again on the website and fill out everything again. Keep in mind this all happened within about 2 hours so it is not like I left it for days and therefore they needed to quote again. So I called them back and guess what, they had to ask all the same questions again and repeat the entire script again. All the duty of disclosure etc again and again. The last call was just to add the current speedometer reading to be able to then buy now, but I had to answer all other questions again and once again add the additional driver. The operators were nice on the phone, but what a mess with the system.

Great service, terrible renewal policy
Trusted Customer – Rated 4 out of 5
Tired of dealing with the same issue every year of auto policy renewal for a higher premium than a new customer.
The lady I spoke with on the phone was professional & courteous. I cannot fault their customer service (that said, I have never had to make a claim). However, I resent having to cancel my policy each year and take out a new policy to enable the best possible price. It is irritating beyond belief. They were quite happy to automatically renew my policy (even though I have NEVER authorised them to do this), whereas by cancelling my policy and coming back as a "new" customer I managed to save myself over $50. I think I might go elsewhere next year. There is obviously no reward for customer loyalty.

Very reasonable prices for cover.
Called yesterday - Person on the phone was very hard to understand, accent was difficult. I called to find out why I had been sent an email to say payment was rejected. She said it was not due yet. (Today actually)
