Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 1,824 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the knowledgeable and friendly staff members who take the extra time to explain policy options thoroughly and make insurance transitions completely seamless. Consumers also note that obtaining new coverage is remarkably fast, simple, and provides very competitive pricing that often beats alternative providers. However, some people mentioned that overall insurance costs have increased over time and premium adjustments are occasionally communicated without prior direct notice. Others noted occasional communication hurdles during phone calls, such as fast automated voice prompts or having to repeat information to different customer service representatives.

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.

Thanks,
Tower Team

Very good experience

I was nervous applying for the insurance quote and taking up the policy, I am an elderly woman (85) who had become unhappy with the company I had been with for many years. Tower made it so easy to do online, explaining all the steps along the way, and the secure payment details were appreciated. Very happy with the experience.

Until I have my question answered about how to pay the premium by Internet Banking that doesn’t involve directing me to your website,( which I found patently useless) you will continue to get a low rating.
