Of course, everyone wants comprehensive car insurance because everybody knows how costly repairs are after a car accident. In South Africa, people want good car insurance because they know how easily a car is stolen. You go inside a shop for a few minutes and you return to find your car gone – stolen.
Very few people can afford to buy another car similar to the one they had, and without insurance and the means to get another car, they might have to resort to getting around on a bicycle – if they’ve got one.
Every Kind of Insurance Available
Mutual and Federal has recently changed their name to Old Mutual Insure. They offer car, homeowners and household insurance as well as personal goods and personal liability insurance. For those people who have trailers, boats and caravans, insurance is provided for these as well. They’re the oldest short-term insurer in South Africa and their history goes back more than 180 years.
