A. Hang back politely with your indicator on like a civilised human.
B. Pull up so close they can probably read your VIN.
C. Hit the horn because clearly, they should’ve teleported out faster.

Your car deals with enough daily chaos already: shopping trolleys, mystery scratches, potholes, stone chips, and accidental coffee disasters. That’s where a Scratch & Dent Plan comes in. Designed for proudly South African drivers, Scratch & Dent Cover helps keep your car looking fresh and protects it from everyday wear, tear, and depreciation.
Get cover for:
- Scratches, dents, and stone chips.
- Hail damage and tar removal.
- Headlight renewal and aircon treatment.
- Leather guard renewal and interior damage.
- Seat tears, burn holes, and lining damage.
Benefits include:
- No size limits – If the damage can be repaired using approved methods and hasn’t gone through to the metal, you’re covered. While many insurers tap out at scratches around 15cm, we’re not here measuring your car with a tape measure.
- Cover for pre-existing damage – We cover cars with pre-existing damage, too, if the repairs can be done using Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) methods. Because everybody deserves a second chance…especially your car.
- No excess – No excess, no surprise “By the way” fees, and no awkward maths when it’s time to claim. What you see is exactly what you get, every single time.
- Waiting period – You can book an approved administrator inspection 90 days after your plan starts. Once that’s done, any new damage that happens afterwards is fully covered, no fine print surprises, just the full benefits when you need them.
- Don’t tap into your comprehensive insurance – Keep your car looking its best without dipping into your comprehensive insurance. With your Scratch & Dent Plan, you can claim for the little everyday mishaps while keeping your main insurance (and your no-claim bonus) completely untouched.
