Why everyone needs car insurance in South Africa

The stats show car insurance in South Africa is a must-have

The figures on road accidents and hijackings alone are an excellent reason to take out car insurance. Around one million road accidents are reported each year in the country, costing our economy over R164 billion annually. 

The latest stats released by the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) show that over one million vehicles are either unroadworthy, unlicenced, or both. Odds are you’re going to be in an accident at some point and when you are, you don’t want to deal with it alone.

Car insurance can save a fortune

The cost of car repairs has been increasing sharply over the last few years and even a ‘harmless’ bumper bashing can cost thousands. It’s by far more affordable to get budget-friendly car insurance than to pay for expensive repairs – or even a new car – yourself.

If you don’t have car insurance and you’re in an accident that isn’t your fault with another driver who is also uninsured, you’re unlikely to claim the damages from that person unless you’re willing to go the legal route. But the legal expenses can cost even more than the repairs needed.

You simply can’t afford not to have cover.

Car insurance takes the hassle out of accidents

We know car insurance is a grudge purchase. You’re paying for something you hope you never have to use. On top of this, car insurance companies in South Africa have a bad rap for making the claims process drawn out and difficult. But the reality is that going through your insurer to fix your car is much less hassle than it is to do it yourself. 

If you’re in an accident involving another person and it’s their fault, we will get in touch with them or their insurer to try recoup the cost of the repairs. 

We find reliable repairers and offer a lifetime guarantee on all repair work done, so if something isn’t done right, we’ll help you sort it out.
