Today, the use of 4X4 vehicles is so severely restricted that the fun, adventure and power of 4X4 driving are completely lost. It is ironic that thousands of 4X4 vehicles are sold in SA every year, yet there are endless rules and regulations restricting their use.
"Most insurers discriminate against 4X4 vehicles, considering those vehicles - and more specifically the 4X4 environment - to be of a high risk," says Sollie Stols, Director: Insurance Business Relations and Development of Dex BrokerNet.
This perception has resulted in restricted cover for 4X4 vehicles, particularly in terms of limited cover outside the borders of SA.
"The time has come for 4X4 enthusiasts to insist on the freedom of using their 4X4s for the purpose for which they were designed, while benefiting from hassle-free insurance cover," says Stols.
Africa is the ultimate 4X4 playground and 4X4 enthusiasts require insurance that includes cover for precisely what is often excluded in most vehicle insurance policies. One of the most frustrating obstacles for 4X4 enthusiasts is the usually time-consuming and paper-intensive process of arranging insurance or submitting a claim for a 4X4 that is used off-road and outside the borders of the country.
A new partnership between Dex Brokernet and TuffStuff Insurance offers brokers and their clients a great solution to a trouble-free 4X4 holiday, with cover extending throughout Africa south of the equator, and including Kenya.
With this partnership, Dex Brokernet created yet another facility for Dex brokers to offer their clients unsurpassed choice and cover, coupled with the ease of use and functionality of the Brokernet system.
"All South Africans deserve more options and less restrictions," says Stols. Dex IT, a South African company with international insurance clients, adds to this exciting partnership total control over the administration, through BrokerNet`s e-Sure.
The system enables brokers to do real-time online amendments, quotations, claims registration, issuing of policies and on-line reporting (MIS), resulting in superior client service and satisfaction.
The partnership has the expertise to offer 4X4 owners a policy that will work for brokers and their clients.
