Personal insurance is more than ticking “buildings and contents” online. Sums insured, security discounts, all-risks items and claims history all change the outcome when something goes wrong.

What personal lines usually covers

  • Home buildings
  • Household contents

  • Sense-check sums insured against rebuild and replacement costs
  • Help after a claim — paperwork and progress chasing
  • Local offices: Springs (East Rand) and Brackenfell (Cape Town / Northern Suburbs)
