4×4 vehicles need extra insurance

Many people utilise 4x4s merely as passenger cars, but an enthusiast who uses their vehicle’s off-road ability intensively should have an insurance policy that’s specific to their vehicle, which is often fitted with accessories and sometimes travels beyond our country’s borders. If that’s you, Budget offers affordable 4×4 Insurance quotes tailored for you and your vehicle.

Comprehensive 4×4 Vehicle Insurance

Budget Insurance offers only the most comprehensive cover for the most comprehensive vehicles, like your 4×4. This means when you accept a 4×4 Insurance quote, you get cover for any accident damage, theft, and third-party damage, and cover for a few extras on top of that, including:

  • Up to R10 000 for standard accessories fitted to the vehicle (excluding the sound system)
  • Reprogramming of the anti-theft system and cover for the vehicle’s keys if they are lost or damaged
  • The spare wheel, if it’s stolen with the vehicle
  • The vehicle’s factory-fitted cellphone car kit
  • The windscreen
  • Spare wheel cover
  • The option to increase your Third-Party Liability Cover to R5 million, R10 million, or R20 million

If you want even more extras and goodies, you can choose to add the following to your policy:

  • Sound system cover
  • Vehicle canopy cover
  • Up to R50 000 cover for standard accessories (excluding sound system) fitted to the vehicle for an additional amount
  • Hail damage cover
  • Car hire

Also, just because you like to explore the world in your 4×4 – yes, we’re referring to you, Overlanders – that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have the same insurance cover when you cross South Africa’s borders. Budget Insurance will insure your vehicle’s adventures in Kenya, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
