But car theft and hi-jacking are still an everyday reality in South Africa, and if your car disappears, the real shock could come later… When you realise you’re not covered for theft or
Car prices are up. Interest rates are up. Fuel is… You guessed it, up. So, it’s no surprise that all South African drivers (well, almost everyone) are looking for ways to cut costs. It’s even less surprising to learn that car insurance is the cost that’s most often heaved onto the chopping block. But if you’re tempted to ditch your
We get it… When you’re rushing off to work or planning a lekker weekend road trip, the last thing you’re thinking about is popping the bonnet to check your car’s oil and water.
