Classic product

Protecting the things you value most and putting you at the centre of everything we do is important to us. That’s why our improved offering for individuals is much more superior when compared to its predecessor. We have carefully selected covers and limits to give you cover which can be customised to suit your specific needs, while still maintaining the quality you have come to expect from Santam.

Key features and benefits of this product

Our insurance cover has unique features specially designed to protect your valued possessions, so you’ll get the protection you really want.

Comprehensive cover

This product designed by balancing the comprehensive cover and pricing to offer great value for money. The improved covers and limits have been carefully selected based on market research, listening to you, your changing insurance needs and benchmarking against other general insurers.

Personalised premiums

We treat our clients as individuals and not as a name and number. Our premiums are calculated to give you accurate and customised rates based on your individual risk profile.

Simplified policy wording

We have simplified our policy wording to make it easy to understand covers and limits, as well as optional covers that can be customised to suit individual needs.

Flat excess

To help you manage your budget, we have flat excess structures, and these do not vary with the size of the claim. Knowing your excess amount upfront removes the surprise factor when a claim is submitted.
