Safeguard your car with an expert insurer in a few easy steps
Switching your car insurance is easy if it’s done correctly and can be done at any time. If you feel your car insurance is not keeping up with your changing needs, it may be time to shop around.
Santam has you covered!
Switching your car insurance to Santam can be a straightforward process.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you transition smoothly:
Check cancellation terms: Before switching, check your current policy’s terms, including any cancellation fees or notice periods. Some insurers may require 30 days’ notice.
Identify coverage needs: Make a list of your current coverage and any specific needs you want to address in your new policy.
Online quote: Visit our website and use the online tool to get a car insurance quote.
Contact an agent: Alternatively, you can speak to a Santam representative by calling them on 0860 444 444 – or SMS ‘Cover’ to 36 101 to get a personalised quote.
Once you’re satisfied with the quote, proceed with the application process.
You may need the following documents:
- Your vehicle registration number.
- Driver’s license.
- Details of any additional drivers.
- Information about your current insurer, including no-claims bonus details if applicable.
Santam will assist in finalising your policy, including setting up payment terms.
After confirming your Santam policy, contact your current insurer to cancel the existing policy. Make sure your new coverage with Santam starts before the cancellation date to avoid any gaps in coverage.
It’s important to ensure that you don’t risk any gaps in your cover or receive any surprises with cover shortfall in the event of a claim.
Even if it’s not required, always cancel your policy in writing so you have a record of the requested cancellation in case the company continues to bill you or deduct premiums. There should be no costs involved when cancelling your insurance.
Choose your preferred payment method for Santam, such as a debit order or monthly payments – and ensure everything is in place for seamless payment processing.
Keep all documentation related to your new Santam insurance and the cancellation of your old policy for future reference.
