Claim time limits
- Warranty claims: submit within 30 days of the breakdown. There is a 60-day waiting period from the policy start date. Warranty cover is underwritten by Dotsure.
- Auto product claims: put your ID or policy number in the email subject line. An assessor will contact you within 7 working days.
- Car changes: if you update your car’s details, the waiting period of two successful consecutive monthly debits applies again. The auto FAQ says The Unlimited provides a list of panel beaters in your area when you log a claim.
- Natural death claims: if the main member was not married and had not named a beneficiary, you will need a certified copy of the appointment as executor of the estate.
For an accident cash claim after an accident at home, The Unlimited also asks for an affidavit, which you can get at your local police station. After a motor vehicle accident, it needs a copy of the patient’s valid driver’s licence. It needs all documents before it can start the claim.
To follow up on an existing claim, call 0861 990 000 and ask for the claims team.

| Proof of payment | customercare@theunlimited.co.za or fax 086 500 9307 |
