Kenya’s roads record thousands of accidents each year, while car theft and vandalism remain persistent urban challenges. Without proper coverage, a single incident could lead to massive financial loss. Choosing the right insurance is not just about compliance β it’s about financial protection and long-term peace of mind.
πThe Fundamentals: Choosing Your Level of Protection
The first step in protecting your vehicle is determining the level of coverage that suits your needs. This choice determines how well you’re protected when the unexpected happens.
π‘οΈComprehensive Cover: Maximum Financial Security
