Ever wondered how Santa insures his sleigh? Sure, it’s magical, but between rooftop landings and reindeer-related accidents, Santa’s job isn’t exactly risk-free. There’s a lot at stake, even if this is all imaginary and we’re taking advantage of the festive season to put a merry finish on several good reasons why you need car insurance.
Basically, Santa’s sleigh doesn’t need insurance as much as your car does. Here’s why.
1. Santa’s got magic, you’ve got potholes
While Santa has a magic dust (or a team of elves, or whatever it is) to fix for any sleigh issues, you don’t. Worse, while that sleigh is zooming around in the air, you’re navigating our South African roads, with its multi-level attack. We’re talking about the potholes, reckless drivers, and loadshedding-induced traffic lights. All of this, in our opinion, makes comprehensive car insurance non-negotiable.
2. What about theft?
Santa’s sleigh? Unstealable. Your car? Not so much. Comprehensive insurance protects you from theft and hijacking. You’re probably thinking that you’ll just make sure that you’re only parking in ‘safe’ space… But you know as well as we do that this isn’t enough.
3. Accident protection
Santa might have Rudolph to guide him through the fog, but you’ve got to rely on headlights and good driving skills. In case of accidents, your car insurance will cover the repair costs, no magic reindeer needed. Also, while there might be other reindeer to take Santa somewhere, you’ll be stranded. With our comprehensive car insurance, you get access to our royal roadside assistance. These chaps will have you sorted, whether it’s an emergency delivery of 10l of fuel (charged at cost) or a tow to the mechanic.
4. Third-party claims
Santa doesn’t have to deal with third-party damage. You, on the other hand, might end up in a bumper-bashing incident. All of our car insurance policies include cover damage to others’ cars and property.
5. You’re not Santa
We hate to break it to you, but at the end of the day, Santa has a unique set of circumstances. And he’s not real. You? You’re very real and just trying to get to your holiday destination in 1 piece. That’s why you need to take extra precautions, like making sure that your car insurance is up to date before hitting the road.
So, while Santa’s sleigh might be magical, your car isn’t. Get the right cover to stay protected this holiday season.
