OUTsurance car insurance: what the OUTbonus is really worth
OUTsurance is one of South Africa's largest direct insurers and its defining feature is the OUTbonus — a cash payback of a portion of premiums after a set number of claim-free years. It rewards exactly the behaviour insurers want, and for careful drivers it can materially reduce the effective cost of cover. The catch is straightforward: one claim resets the clock.
