With the terrible state of our roads, tyre and rim insurance is becoming increasingly popular among car owners in South Africa. There are many hazards on the road that can damage your tyres and rims, including:

• Potholes
• Blowouts
• Debris on the road
• Manufacturer defects

This damage can lead to further damage to your car or even an accident. We want to prevent this!

This is why we offer comprehensive insurance as a supplement to your current insurance. This type of cover allows you to claim for the cost of repairing or replacing damaged tyres. Without this type of cover, you may have to pay for any repairs or replacements out of your own pocket.
