A word from the king​

Owning a car in South Africa can be expensive, especially if you’re chasing the latest model.

Holiday season in South Africa is all about beaches, braais, and bumpy road trips to the middle of nowhere… And we love it.

So, before you pack the padkos and hit play on

The open road is calling, the snacks are packed, and your Spotify playlist is a masterpiece… You’re officially ready for your epic SA road trip! But before you get too excited about driving the Garden Route or spotting lions in the Kruger, there are a few royal things to tick off your list. Namely: Your insurance. Here’s what your insurer

You’ve only gone and done it. You’ve treated Bertha, your 4-wheeled baby, to the works and she looks good. It was pretty expensive to upgrade your bakkie with a custom canopy, some alloy wheels, and a powerful aftermarket sound system, but it was worth it. Think of the braais, the road trips, and the stares from the neighbours… Just don’t

Car insurance payouts after theft or a write-off often land far below what policyholders expect, and the gap can mean thousands of rands out of pocket. The difference comes down to one thing: the value type written into your policy. Understanding how market value, retail value, and agreed value cover actually work could be the difference between a claim that

From year-end office parties and school concerts to weddings, festivals, and long-overdue catchups, South Africa’s spring-to-summer social calendar doesn’t hold back. And we love it. We love all of it, especially the next morning when we head out for some alone time with a cup of coffee (from that place down the road) and our own thoughts. But we also

You park your car at the mall, do a quick grocery run, and return to find a new mystery scratch down your door. No note, no witness, no idea who did it. Or maybe it wasn’t even a person you’d like to kick in the shin, but instead a rogue trolley that’s nicked your bumper. Either way, it’s damage you
