Our journey to now

Highlights on our road to becoming the most valued South African car insurer

2009

Now
The Future
More than 70% of South African motorists simply cannot afford traditional comprehensive car insurance. In response to this serious market need, Prime was born in 2009 with the launch of its MotorTHRIFT policy. Prime MotorTHRIFT was a highly affordable alternative that offered meaningful cover to South Africa’s less affluent motorists.
Prime responds yet again with another industry first, its Prime Motor CoverGROW policy – an even more innovative and affordable solution for South Africa’s many unserved motorists.
Prime launches its comprehensive motor offering with a unique 24-month premium guarantee and reduce-to-zero excess.
PMD has become Prime! Nearly a decade and a half later, Prime has protected and uplifted hundreds of thousands of South Africa’s motorists. During this time, we have matured into SA’s only specialist motor insurance provider whose products now cover the complete spectrum of risk and cater to every motor insurance need from budget all the way up to fully comprehensive cover. The Prime Protect Package with free value-adding benefits has been launched.
Prime aims to become a dominant player in the South African motor insurance space but equally looks forward to offering its clients new and exciting products and reward offerings. Watch this space!

Prime's heart

We believe in paying it forward and rejoice in partnering with St Mary’s Children's Home for orphaned children, hoping to make a positive impact on their lives
