Our car insurance gets rave reviews

Don’t just take our word for it; check out why people think Naked is the best car insurance in South Africa.

I submitted a windscreen claim with @NakedCover_SA at 21:35 tonight and exactly at 22:10 I received an email confirming that my claim has been approved. 🙌🏿🙌🏿 Top service.

@BkiThebe

The best move I did for myself was moving my car and phone insurance to @NakedCover_SA last week. I paused my comprehensive car insurance because I was out of the province. When I came back I resumed my comprehensive car cover then walla Rose from Naked sent me an email saying that I’ve been refunded!

@Pinklash14

@NakedCover_SA is the best. I’ve had no problems whatsoever with them paying for claims. If you’re looking for awesome, affordable insurance, Naked is the way to go. My windscreen cracked due to a rock on the highway on a Friday afternoon. I submitted a claim when I got home, on Monday the windscreen was replaced at my place of work. I am sooo happy with Naked

@barnard_rohan

Naked just saved me huge amounts of money on my car insurance compared to the other option I had. Even as a new driver! This is not an ad – just my view.

Quick and efficient claims process

I was involved in a car accident on the evening of 8 January and my car was not drivable from the scene. I submitted a claim on the spot and the process was seamless, from getting my vehicle towed to getting my car hire. My car was eventually written off and Naked was quick in communicating this with me and arranging a fair settlement with me. Thank you Team Naked and Tshiamo for your seamless service. I would highly recommend Naked as an insurer.

Best insurance ever

I’ve been with them for nearly 4 years. I’ve had 3 claims and I’ve never had a day’s trouble. I reversed into a tree once, I reversed into another car on another occasion and a petrol attendant put the wrong fuel on another occasion and all claims were seen without any hesitation. Excellent service.

Skye

Best insurance ever! The app and overall communication is so easy, transparent, reliable and without frills. I seamlessly added my new car to my account in order to be able to send proof of insurance to the dealer, and when I removed the vehicle I sold, which I was able to do in seconds, I received a pro-rata refund for the insurance I’ve paid for the month. Thank you, team Naked, for making insurance a joy to work with!

Nina Booysen

Great service. I was able to create a profile within minutes using my phone to insure my car. As easy as taking a few photos. No lengthy paperwork, no waiting period. Very happy with their efficiency and customer service. No long queues for the call-centre, simple chat box in the app.

Started with a quote for a vehicle I loved and cherished more than anything else. A quote so simply obtained, that the artificial intelligence behind the entire corporation just blew my mind away. The entire onboarding on my vehicle under comprehensive insurance was smooth and hassle free. With a quote that knocked all other short term insurers out of the park. I am grateful to have experienced such great service all round. Sold my car and now the cancellation process is equally smooth with an email to advise on a refund as well. Thank you Naked and your team!

“Planning ahead is important. We try to do our work errands and grocery shopping on the same days, and if we can, use the same car, so the other stays paused.”

Car insurance questions
people ask most

If you still want to know more, dive into our car insurance guide.

What does comprehensive car insurance cover?

Comprehensive car insurance covers the bigger stuff you'd rather not pay for yourself, like accidents, theft, hijacking and weather damage. It also covers damage you accidentally cause to someone else's car or property. If you want cover for your own car too, this is usually the one.

How much does car insurance cost in South Africa?

There's no one-size-fits-all price. Your premium depends on things like the car you drive, where you live, your driving history, who drives the car most often, and the excess you choose. That's why every quote is personalised.

What is excess in car insurance?

Excess is the amount you pay if you claim. Choosing a higher excess can lower your monthly premium, but it should still be an amount you'd be okay paying if something goes wrong.

Is the online car insurance quote final?

Yes. The quote you see online is your final quote. If you're happy with the price, you can buy your cover straight away. No waiting around to find out the real number later.

Is car insurance compulsory in South Africa?

No. Car insurance is not legally compulsory in South Africa. But if your car is financed, your bank will usually require comprehensive cover. Even when it's not required, it can save you from a very expensive setback.

What's the difference between comprehensive and third-party car insurance?

Comprehensive car insurance covers your own car as well as damage you cause to others. Third-party car insurance only covers damage you cause to someone else's car or property, not your own car. That's why third-party is usually cheaper, but also a lot more limited.
