Real feedback from individuals and businesses who use our insurance guidance and risk management advice.

“Phumzile helped me understand the difference between my household contents cover and the building insurance. I had no idea they were separate policies. Saved me from a nasty surprise after a burst geyser.”

“We run a small logistics company with six vehicles. The team at InsuranceDirectPro walked us through a commercial fleet policy that actually covers cross-border trips. No jargon, just clear steps.”

“I was stuck with a rejected roof claim after a hailstorm. The consultant explained exactly what documentation the assessor needed and helped me appeal. The payout came through within two weeks.”

Common Questions About Insurance

Straightforward answers to help you understand your cover and make informed decisions.

What is the difference between a broker and a direct insurer?

A broker works with multiple insurers to find a policy that fits your situation, while a direct insurer sells only its own products. Brokers can offer more choice and help with claims, but direct insurers may have lower premiums because they cut out the middleman. Your choice depends on whether you prefer personalised advice or a lower upfront cost.

How do I know if my policy covers storm damage?

Most standard home and contents policies cover storm damage, but there are exclusions. Check your policy wording for terms like “storm,” “flood,” or “weather event.” Some policies exclude damage from gradual wear and tear or lack of maintenance. If you are unsure, call your insurer or broker and ask for a clear yes or no on storm cover before a storm hits.

Can I insure a car that is not registered in my name?

Yes, you can insure a vehicle you do not own, as long as you have an insurable interest—meaning you would suffer a financial loss if the car is damaged or stolen. You will need to explain your relationship to the vehicle (for example, you are the primary driver or you have a loan on it). The insurer may ask for proof of ownership or a letter from the registered owner.

What happens if I miss a premium payment?

Most insurers give you a grace period of 7 to 15 days after the due date. If you pay within that window, your cover continues without interruption. After the grace period, the policy may lapse, meaning you are no longer covered. Some insurers offer reinstatement within 30 days if you pay the outstanding amount, but you may need to reapply if the gap is longer.

Do I need business insurance if I work from home?

Standard home contents policies usually exclude business equipment and liability. If you run a business from home—even a small one—you may need a separate business policy or an add-on to your home cover. This protects your stock, laptops, and tools, and covers you if a client or delivery person is injured on your property. Check with your insurer about a home-based business extension.
