Benefits of having short term insurance

01

Less financial burden: Accidents or incidents come at a cost that you may not be able to afford at the time. Short-term insurance helps you to replace possessions and pay for repairs, legal fees, vehicle towing and even storage - without having to go into debt.

02

Emergency assistance: Insurers offer immediate emergency assistance for situations like burst geysers, urgent electrical repairs, or locksmith services-helping prevent further damage. In more serious incidents, such as accidents or hijackings, telematics-based insurance adds protection by detecting emergencies and automatically dispatching assistance when you can't call for help, ensuring help reaches you when it matters most

03

Rewards and cashbacks: Many insurers offer incentive programmes that add value to your cover and overall experience. For example, by driving well or remaining claim-free over a certain period, you may be eligible for cashback or other rewards-recognizing and encouraging responsible behaviour while enhancing the value of your insurance.
