Balloon Payment Balloons leave a residual amount due at term end.

What is balloon payment?

Lump sum at end of vehicle finance. As a King Price client you will see balloon payment referenced on your policy schedule, in your claim documents, or in conversations with client care on 0860 50 50 50.

How balloon payment works

balloon payment is governed by the terms set out in the King Price Policy Document and the individual schedule issued for your policy. Your schedule always overrides the master wording where they differ, so the values, limits and conditions that apply to you appear there in plain English.

King Price reviews the application of balloon payment at every renewal, and any change to your risk profile, address, vehicle, security or claims history is taken into account. The Treating clients Fairly framework requires this detail to be communicated clearly before any change takes effect.

Example

Karabo uses a DJI Mavic drone for landscape photography. R80k balloon at end of 60 months. In this scenario, balloon payment determines the practical outcome for the client. The exact numbers depend on the cover option, the excess on the schedule and the limits set out in the policy document.

King Price aims to make insurance great again with plain-English wording, transparent premiums and a direct relationship with clients. Clear terminology like balloon payment is part of that promise.
