Based on recent customer reviews, Santam delivers a strongly polarised experience. The business is widely praised for the warmth, professionalism, and knowledge of its individual agents, with customers consistently naming specific consultants. However, a recurring pattern of poor claims communication, delayed third-party claim resolution, and opaque settlement decisions drags down satisfaction in key operational areas, particularly for claimants who are not direct policyholders.
Top Strengths:
- •Agent Quality & Customer Care: Customers overwhelmingly name specific agents such as Ebrahim, Sipho, Tasneem, and many others as professional, patient, knowledgeable and genuinely caring. Words like 'amazing,' 'gem,' and 'above and beyond' are used frequently.

Roxy is the BEST!
Roxy Claasen who is an assessor at Santam impressed me with her contact skills and keeping me up to date with the progress of my claim. Roxy walked the road with my claim from start to finish and she really felt like she cared about my predicament and had empathy. I would highly recommend her to any other Santam client.

I have been with them for more than 10 years with no major claim
I have been with them for more than 10 years with no major claim. They failed to give me a courtesy car last night. I am now stranded with no car while waiting for my car fixed. Got stuck in the middle of the road last night, but still they don't see that as an accident.
