Why Car Insurance is important

It is vital as it provides you with financial protection and peace of mind when your car is stolen, hi-jacked, or damaged in an accident.

It pays for your expenses such as damages to your car, your injuries sustained from the accident, as well as injuries to passengers. If an incident is your fault, it also protects you from liability to other people (third party) involved in the accident.

It's necessary to insure your car, especially if it's still financed with a bank to protect you from excessive debt in the event of theft or your car being written off.

What if I am noted as the regular driver on my car, but someone else drives it more frequently?

A regular driver is the person who drives the vehicle most often in any monthly period. Our premiums are charged based on the profile of the regular driver, meaning if a different driver to the premium is considered the regular driver the monthly premium is incorrect and will not be covered.

For example, if you “regular driver” (45 year old) lets driver (18 year old) drive “regular driver” vehicle to university daily without notifying us, we will charge a premium based on the profile of “regular driver” (45 year old) rather than on the profile of driver (18 year old). This simply means we are receiving an incorrect premium and the vehicle is not covered. If the “regular driver” changes, make sure you notify us immediately for continuous cover.

Does it matter if the vehicle is used for private or business purposes?

Yes, in order to have cover, it is vital that you insure your vehicle for the correct use.

In which countries is my vehicle covered?

Your vehicle is covered in South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland and Zimbabwe when used for private purposes.

If your vehicle is insured for business use it is not covered while being used for business purposes outside South Africa unless you have selected the specific optional cover for business use in countries outside South Africa.
