Choosing Prime car insurance cover for your car means getting peace of mind and great support whenever you’re out on the road. Our plans are customisable and affordable, so we can make good insurance available to everyone. No matter your needs or budget, you’ll get reliable coverage when you need it.
Why Prime South Africa?
Not only do we offer comprehensive coverage that you can afford, but all our plans also include unique benefits like coverage that grows with each claim-free month, as well as fixed premiums that will stay the same for 24 months and reduce to zero if you don’t claim.
In this blog, we delve into each of our car insurance plans and their benefits.
Comprehensive car insurance for complete peace of mind
If you want complete peace of mind on the road, comprehensive car insurance is one of the best options. Our Comprehensive plan covers everything from accidents and write-offs to theft, hijacking, natural disasters, and damage from hail. And, with up to R1 million in third-party liability protection, you’ll be well prepared in the event of an unforeseen incident.
But what really sets Prime’s Comprehensive cover apart are its unique benefits, which you can unlock with the Prime Protect App. Like free accidental death cover, which means R10,000 will go to your family if you die in a car accident, and free private medical treatment for any passengers injured in your vehicle.
Plus, with 24/7 emergency roadside assistance, help is always available when you need it most.
Customised car insurance that’s tailored to your needs
If you prefer a plan that can be tailored to your specific requirements, Customised car insurance might be the perfect fit. This plan offers flexible accident and write-off coverage as well as R500,000 in third-party liability protection.
Along with cover for theft and hijacking, this plan protects financially against natural disasters, glass damage, and hail damage up to R20,000. As a bonus, your cover will also grow monthly by up to R5,000 for smaller accidents if you don’t claim.
Optional extras allow you to further customise your plan with car hire, credit shortfall protection, an accidental death extender, tyre and rim cover, and cover for other drivers. You can also lower your excess amount with claim-free months.
Third-Party PLUS car insurance for affordable protection with benefits
If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, Third-Party PLUS car insurance starts from just R167* per month. This plan offers up to R500,000 in third-party liability protection, up to R10,000 for hail damage to your car, and coverage up to the full trade value of your car.
You’ll also get growing accident cover that increases monthly up to R4,000 for smaller accidents if you stay claim-free. Other benefits include Prime’s 24-month fixed premium guarantee as well as the ability to add up to two more drivers, car hire, tyre and rim cover, and 24-hour roadside assistance.
What does Prime South Africa not cover?
Prime South Africa offers car insurance plans with lots of coverage options, but there are some things we don’t cover. For example, if you use your car for business purposes such as for deliveries, transporting fare-paying passages, or any other commercial reasons, you won’t be covered.
You won’t be covered if you let someone drive your car who doesn’t have a valid driver’s licence. Furthermore, drivers not listed on your Customised or Third-Party policy won’t be covered. This includes situations where a friend or family member drives your car without being officially added to your policy.
