FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions About Short-term Insurance
What is the difference between building insurance and household contents insurance?
Building insurance covers the physical structure of your home including walls, roof, floors, fixtures, and permanent installations like built-in cupboards and geysers. Household contents insurance covers your movable possessions inside the home such as furniture, electronics, clothing, and appliances. Most homeowners need both – building insurance if you own the property, and contents insurance whether you rent or own. We recommend insuring buildings for replacement value and contents for current value to avoid under-insurance.
Is car insurance mandatory in South Africa?
No, car insurance is not legally required in South Africa, but it’s highly recommended. While you’re not legally obliged to have insurance, you are legally liable for any damage you cause to other people or property. Third-party liability insurance (the most basic cover) protects you financially if you’re responsible for an accident. Comprehensive car insurance additionally covers your own vehicle for accident damage, theft, and hijacking. Banks and financing institutions require comprehensive cover if you have a vehicle loan.
How much does home insurance cost per month in South Africa?
Home insurance costs typically range from R300-R800 per month for contents insurance and R400-R1,200 per month for building insurance, depending on property value, location, security measures, and coverage limits. A standard 3-bedroom home valued at R1.5 million with R500,000 contents cover generally costs R800-R1,500 monthly for combined building and contents insurance. Areas with higher crime rates or properties with inadequate security pay higher premiums. We compare quotes from multiple insurers to find the most competitive rates.
What does business interruption insurance cover?
Business interruption insurance covers lost income and ongoing expenses when your business cannot operate due to an insured event like fire, flood, or theft. It typically covers lost revenue, continuing fixed costs (rent, salaries, loan payments), temporary relocation expenses, and costs to resume operations. Coverage usually begins after a waiting period (24-72 hours) and continues for a specified period (often 12-24 months) or until business operations normalize. This insurance is crucial for businesses that would struggle financially during forced closures or operational disruptions.
