Car insurance from R180 per month – and you don’t pay if you don’t drive
Can Naked Insurance disrupt its industry in the way that, say, Capitec Bank disrupted banking?
Time will tell, but its offering is compelling, especially now as South Africa sinks into an economic depression.

Naked has vastly lower operating costs than most traditional insurers.
An artificially intelligent system manages policies, instead of call centres and brokers, thereby slashing expenses and enabling its low premiums.
Its car insurance premiums, for example, start at R180 per month while you can get home contents insurance for as little as R43 per month.
Naked Insurance allows you to pause your accident cover when you’re not driving – it calls this option “CoverPause”.
You’re still covered for theft or anything that happens to your car while parked.
During the first 35 days of the lockdown, 46% of cars that used CoverPause got 90% of their usual premium back.

Claims in June have been a lot lower than before the crisis… There’s been a few people driving into the garage walls…
Alex Thomson, cofounder - Naked Insurance
If you genuinely forget [to turn off CoverPause], we’re pretty accommodating…

We have plans to do so [expand internationally] …
