This, however, depends on your customer profile.


What is a customer profile?

A customer profile is a detailed description of a policyholder. It included factual info that assists insurers to determine a customer’s risk and therefore quote an insurance cover premium that is suitable for a customer’s unique needs.


What influences car insurance quoted premiums?

Insurance companies consider various factors to determine how risky it is to insure you:

  1. Length of time you've had your driver's license and its type
  2. Insurance history
  3. Age
  4. Credit score
  5. Services costs (Panel beaters, parts suppliers, storage facilities, etc).
  6. Inflation
  7. Area risk ratio (Where your car is parked)

    Did you know? SAPS incident reports help insurers identify high and low-risk areas based on incident frequency.

  8. Petrol price
  9. Driving behaviour
  10. Vehicle (make, model, age)
  11. Vehicle usage (business or private?)

Can you save on car insurance?

Here are some tips to help you get the best insurance premium:

Compare quotes (remember that it must be like for like)

Getting quotes from different insurers gives you the opportunity to see which car insurer gives you the best cover at the lowest rate for your situation. Remember to compare quotes and not premiums provided by online car insurance calculators!

Ask about discounts

Most insurers offer a list of possible discounts you may qualify for to help lower your premium. Asking about discounts may at times be your saving grace from paying higher car insurance premiums.

Consolidate your policies

If you bundle your policies, you’ll most likely get a discount at most insurers.
