Once you've paid the all-in rate you'll receive full coverage, will not have a excess and all repairs are covered (even repairs to your windshield and tires).

Option 1: For ZAR 150 per day you can pay off your excess up to ZAR 20.000 (maximum up to 50 days or ZAR 7500).
Option 2: For ZAR 300 per day you can pay off your excess completely (maximum up to 50 days or ZAR 15000).
