Benefits for the Policy Holder

We are very aware that most people lead very stressful, hectic lives, something that is unfortunately a real part of our world today. For this exact reason we have ensured complete convenience with a number of key benefits for policy holders:

• A fully mobile vehicle inspection: We will, at your convenience, arrange to have the inspection done wherever you will be at an agreed time
• Quick and easy: The inspections takes no longer than 15 minutes with the inspector ensuring you are also left with a copy. This we can email to you should you prefer
• National coverage: We cover all major and secondary centres in South Africa. (Please see the map of our coverage)
• A free inspection. If we are sent a request by your insurer or broker we will bill them directly.
• An enhanced claims experience: Because your insurer has got details of your inspection, if and when you claim, they are able to process your claim considerably quicker
• Confidentiality: The inspection information, which is kept strictly confidential, is sent directly back to your Insurer or broker

Benefits for Insurers

"The Insurance industry in South Africa has for many years understood the obvious benefits of physically seeing and validating their new business motor risks at policy inception or underwriting stage, as some would refer to it.

With short term insurance being highly competitive Insurers have had to find a cost effective, customer friendly way of inspecting and managing these risks. With our National coverage and full mobile service we have been able to meet this challenge for the industry."
