Regent

Regent has a singular focus on vehicle insurance. This makes it able to provide a good range of products and services, including a number of value-added products to enhance your motor insurance options. As it only focuses on this sector, it has developed a high level of expertise over the years, since its inception in 1989. From the start the company set out to make its mark in the underwriting and provision of motor vehicle insurance. It has grown into a very successful insurance provider - proof positive that the business saying "stick to your knitting" pays off - for both the company and its customers. It now has a yearly turnover in excess of R1 billion, and provides its insurance products and services through a network that stretches across the country. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Imperial Group, and the company has an AA- rating by Global Credit Rating Company.

Regent Insurance Website On the Regent website you can find out more about its motoring products as well as client services.

This network functions through the motor vehicle dealerships - although the company also deals through a certain number of vetted brokers. Despite the fact that the core product is motor insurance, there are also a couple of personal line insurance products, such as household goods insurance and small to medium business cover. But the real meat of the offering is motor vehicle insurance.

Regent divides its products into 3 sectors. There is a personal motor insurance line, a business motor insurance line, and a specialised motor insurance line.

Starting with the personal insurance line we find a range of products. The central product here is comprehensive motor insurance - this covers all cars, as well as light delivery vehicles, motorbikes, caravans, trailers. It`s designed to cover your vehicle for personal and business use. If you`re a motorcyclist and you prefer to have a dedicated motorcycle insurance policy, this is available as well. For all vehicles there are also value-added products in the form of deposit cover, credit shortfall insurance and various types of roadside and medical assistance packages.

On the business insurance side, there is commercial vehicle insurance for heavy vehicles, which includes insurance for goods in transit, passenger liability, commercial top-up insurance, and spillage and clean-up insurance. You can also get a combined commercial and industrial policy that provides insurance for small to medium commercial and industrial businesses in all classes of insurance. In a clear response to market needs, there is also a dedicated policy providing cover for commercial taxis.

There`s a whole host of specialised insurance products and services available - these are all listed below for you. There are also a couple of newly launched policies, which give you cover for luxury and exclusive vehicles, and distance related insurance premiums, where premiums are based on average distance travelled, which is a nice new innovation.
