Car insurance

harryopal1

My car insurance was due yesterday but no word from Binagraya with whom I have been insuring for some years. The Bali office is not answering the phone and neither is the Jakarta office. Can anyone recommend a company in Bali?

I had allianz for a few years and they were brill until my/their agent went bonkers and kept the payment until my bali mate threatened him with the cops. Told Allianz about it and they said they didn't work with him anymore - would a been nice they'd told me too...[/QUOTE]Now Markit, this is getting a bit strange. It was about 6 years ago when I first was looking for car insurance and you recommended an agent for Binagraya. And the next year or the year after that my/their agent went bonkers and kept the payment until I told Binagraya about it and they chased him and got the payment. Does that ring a bell? Anyway we will try Binagraya again tomorrow and if we can't raise them I might try Allianz.... is that who you are using these days and would you recommend them?

Odd. I have tried Binagriya Bali across 3 days and get message saying number is invalid. Tried 3 different offices in Jakarta and the same with every number. I am beginning to think they may have folded. It looks like I may use Allianz as they have an office in Kuta and do answer the phone.

Agent was a lovely little Chinese guy name of Wong. Went completely off his head.
