Cheap Car Insurance South Africa – Who Are South Africa’s Top 5 Cheap Car Insurance
Companies
In South Africa, car insurance is an additional cost carried by the driver or owner of any motor vehicle – whether it is bikes or cars, trucks or scooters. This additional cost is only mandatory in instances where vehicles are purchased through A financing house – there are no other rules stipulating a driver must be in possession of current insurance when driving a personal motor vehicle.
In places such as the USA, however, car insurance is part and parcel of driving or owning any vehicle. Being caught driving a car without valid and current insurance is a punishable offence.
While us South Africans might consider ourselves “lucky” in that valid insurance is not a pre-requisite, we need to remember the implications of not having insurance (LINK).
That being said, motor vehicle insurance is not always cheap, nor affordable. That’s why we’ve looked around to find some of our countries’ cheapest car insurance companies.
While this is not an official ranking, it’s safe to say that these companies can and likely will offer you a competitive quote.
If you’re not feeling up to having to undergo all the questions, tedious confirmations and safety checks. Another option to consider when trying to save money on your monthly car insurance, is to opt to work through an insurance broker. They are independent bodies who will source and negotiate the best prices for you – they’re the guys who do the dirty work.
Without further ado, here’s our list of South Africa’s most budget-friendly car insurance companies!
Cheap Car Insurance Companies South Africa
Prime Meridian Direct – https://primemeridian.co.za/news/peace-of-mind-with-cheap-car-insurance
What do they have to say?
“South African motorists need innovative, tailored car insurance products that are affordable and cost-effective. However, you describe it, car insurance such as this could help millions of South African motorists. The South African Rand has depreciated by more than 60% in the last three to four years. Consequently, the price of imported vehicle parts has sky rocketed, steeply pushing up the cost of vehicle repairs and the average car insurance claim amount with it. In addition, the price of vehicle recovery and salvage has risen dramatically too with up to 40% of the average R20 000 claim going to the cost of getting the vehicle from the site of the accident to the repairer.”
