OUTsurance

OUTsurance was one of the original companies that pioneered the concept of direct short-term insurance in South Africa. The idea being that a technologically advanced call centre, staffed by knowledgeable and well-trained agents could allow you to deal directly with your insurer rather than go through an insurance broker. This saves on administrative demands and costs, which mean that not only do you not have to go through an intermediary for your insurance needs, but you save money on premiums. This model has proven to be highly successful and has seen the company become one of the most popular and successful insurance providers in the country, with a large clientele and a burgeoning track record. It has been operating since 1998.

The other cornerstone of the insurance model of OUTsurance is the idea of more tangible and upfront promotion of no-claim rewards. It has formed the foundation of its marketing strategy, encapsulated in the by now well-known branding catchphrase: "you always get something out". In practice this means that you are rewarded for not having to make claims with a reduction in premiums.

The company is part of the RMBH FirstRand financial services group, which gives it considerable financial muscle - clearly another feather in its cap as far as clients are concerned, as it gives peace of mind from knowing that your insurance is continuously viable and will be around to pay out when you need it.

We cover the products in a more comprehensive list below, but a quick summary includes two broad categories: personal short-term insurance and business short-term insurance. In the personal line, all bases are covered. You can get comprehensive household and personal belongings insurance, and vehicle insurance, as well as personal accident insurance. Businesses can avail themselves of things like fleet insurance, business and employee liability insurance, employee fidelity insurance, business interruption and public liability insurance, as well as stock and money cover.

Not only do you get direct service and reduced premiums on a range of affordable insurance products and value-added services, but you are also making a very visible and tangible contribution to the economy and the community when you choose this company as your insurance provider.
