Just another experience. Hardly a date with a lovely woman. You give me a policy, I give you $35 a month.

Expect them to wiggle out of paying!
Terrible experience from start to finish. Assessor process was terrible/disorganised, could never get hold of my Claims manager and then my claim for accidental damage was declined on spurious grounds. Have never ever had a claim denied before with any insurance company. Will 100% be taking my business elsewhere.

System problems,payment to wrong policy
Charged to change credit/ debit card details,no cost, standard software, same NZ software could not process a payment , no human intervention in either case.
Phone call, charge explained, payment went to a different policy/car owned by us, confidence on software payment systems is low.
Promised to be fixed and recepi issued by end of day, nothing zero contact.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your feedback. When adding a new card payment method, or taking a manual payment via card, an automatic pre-authorisation fee of $1.00 may be charged to confirm the card is active. This should automatically refund back to you within 7 days.
If you have received any other charges, or this amount is not automatically refunded, please reach out to our team on 0800 808 808 so we can investigate further.
Thanks,
Tower Team
Excellent service and competitive pricing.
Excellent service and prompt responses from the team. I am delighted to be associated with Tower Group for my car insurance needs. What impressed me most was the competitive pricing, which was significantly better than the offers I received from other insurance providers. Overall, a smooth and satisfying experience.

Kia Ora Najeeb,
The 2MONTHS promotion code was automatically applied to your policy at purchase - this is displayed on your policy certificate under 'discounts' for your reference.
We have arranged our service team to give you a call today to clarify this for you as well.
Thanks,

After comparing several insurance…
After comparing several insurance providers using the same coverage options and variables, I found this provider to be the most affordable. One thing I also noticed is that pricing varies significantly depending on the car. For another car I own, this same provider was actually a bit more expensive. So it’s definitely worth comparing quotes for each vehicle rather than assuming one insurer will always be the cheapest.

Kia Ora Abin,
Thank you for your feedback! Our pricing uses a risk-based model, which does mean certain policy types may cost slightly more or less than others, for varying details and types.

Hi Terri-Anne,
Thank you for getting in touch! Tower doesn't offer a weekly payment option unfortunately - our payment frequency options are: fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, six-monthly and annual.
Your payment schedule from inception will outline the correct payment schedule you're on.
