Simple Actions To Help Reduce Your Premium

  • Go for smaller vehicles – the smaller the vehicle and engine size will result in

reduced premiums.

  • Store your vehicles safely – Keep vehicles in a secure locked garage/compound or off the road.
  • Insure drivers with good records – The older and more experienced the driver the lower the premium, drivers over the age of 25 are cheaper to insure.
  • Limit the vehicle use – i.e. no hazardous or toxic materials.
  • Voluntary Excess – Increasing the voluntary excess can reduce your premium.
  • Use Electric or Hybrid Vehicles – These vehicles can sometimes reduce the premium because they’re more environmentally friendly.
