Positive feedback on the No Claim Motor Refunds
In April, May and June 2020, motor claims were below average, and Barker paid out over R2m, R1.3m and R500k in refunds to clients as part of our NO CLAIM LOCKDOWN MOTOR REFUND.
This initiative was created to reimburse a percentage of our clients’ April, May and June motor premium as most vehicles were being safely parked at home or the office during the lockdown and therefore exposed to less risk.
In response to the payout, we have received an overwhelming number of compliments (like the one above) from our loyal customers thanking us for these rebates, which are especially needed in these financially challenging times.
