Top Insurance Tips

Understand Your Needs

Before diving into any insurance policy, it's crucial to assess and understand your unique needs. Whether it's for health, travel, car, or life, choosing a plan tailored to your situation ensures you're not overpaying for unnecessary coverage or under-protected when the unexpected happens.

Regularly Review Your Policy

Insurance isn't a "set it and forget it" product. As life changes—like buying a new car, traveling to new destinations, or expanding your family—it's wise to regularly review and adjust your policies to ensure they align with your current circumstances.

Know the Details

Every insurance policy comes with exclusions, limits, and conditions. It's essential to be familiar with these to avoid unpleasant surprises during a claim. Always read the fine print, and don't hesitate to ask questions to clarify any uncertainties.

Frequently Asked Questions about Car Insurance

Car insurance can be hard to understand - let us help clarify things.

What types of car insurance are available in Kenya?

In Kenya, there are primarily three types of car insurance covers: Third Party Only (TPO), which covers liabilities to third parties; Third Party, Fire, and Theft (TPFT), which includes TPO plus protection against fire and theft of your vehicle; and Comprehensive Cover, which offers full protection, including accidental damages to your car, theft, and third-party liabilities.

Is car insurance mandatory in Kenya?

Yes, it's a legal requirement in Kenya to have at least a Third Party Only (TPO) insurance cover for your vehicle before it can be allowed on the road. This ensures that damages to third parties are covered in the event of an accident.

How is the car insurance premium determined?

Several factors determine your car insurance premium in Kenya, including the type of cover you choose (TPO, TPFT, Comprehensive), the value of your car, its usage (private or commercial) and any add ons you want included with the policy.

  • Follow the prompts to confirm if your insurance is active or not.

Does my car need to be valued for Car Insurance?

Yes. The value of the car is a primary consideration when it comes to the cost of your car insurance premium. Usually the underwriter or broker will ask you to pay for one months policy upfront at your last valuation while they wait for the updated valuation to be provided. Valuations can take place at the valuers office or at a location of your choosing.

Can all cars qualify for comprehensive insurance?

No. Most underwriters in Kenya will have an age limit after which they stop offering comprehensive insurance on vehicles, unless you are renewing an existing policy with the underwriter. In general, the cut-off is between 12 - 15 years.
