Road trips are exciting!

After all, who can say no to good sing-along music, ‘padkos’, great company and long scenic drives?

So, before you head off on your epic road trip, be sure to give your car a full pre-trip inspection and check in with your car insurance provider – doing this could save you from unnecessary financial frustrations.

If you’re not so sure where to start, here are a few guidelines to help you get your car road trip ready:

Check your insurance policy

You’ve checked your car for a smooth drive, now it’s time to ensure that you are adequately covered for the ride – and that the possessions you leave behind will be covered. Give your policy document a good read through before hitting the road. Knowing what you are covered for will help you travel with peace of mind and enjoy the time away a little better.

Cross–border trips

Remember to request a border letter from your insurer if you’re planning to cross any of the South African borders. As a MiWay client, you can skip the call centre queues and simply generate your own border letter via MiXpress or on the MiWay App.

 Expect the unexpected

A mechanical breakdown or technical malfunction can really ruin a fun-filled road trip.

The last thing you want to be dealing with on the road is unforeseen difficulties without the option of having emergency roadside assistance . This is why having car insurance  is so important. By ensuring that your car and its insurance is in order, you can save a considerable amount of time and money, not to mention that you will ensure that your road trip remains the epitome of fun.
