Insurance for motorbikes in South Africa is similar to car insurance.
In South Africa, the types of car insurance you can get include:
- Comprehensive Cover- this is the most extensive type of cover
- Third Party, Fire and Theft- this cover is less expensive and pays for any third party damage. Your own car is not covered in the event of an accident however.
- Third Party Only – this is the most basic cover
