The best car insurance is the kind that offers you a fair and logical cover for your car without compromising your budget. The king of price offers you quality service and super cheap car insurance premiums that decrease monthly in line with the depreciating value of your car.
Car insurance
The only car insurance in the world that decreases monthly
You know that your car loses value from day 1, right? So, why pay premiums that only ever increase? We’re the only insurer to offer premiums that decrease monthly as your car loses value. We just think it makes sense!

Chilli is comprehensive car cover, just way cheaper because the less you drive, the less you pay
Not everyone drives the same distance every month, so why should everyone pay the same for their car insurance every month? With chilli, your monthly premium depends on your monthly mileage, as well as your individual risk profile. Essentially, you ‘pay per k’. Cool hey?
In a nutshell
Fact: Your car starts losing value the moment you drive it off the dealership floor. And it doesn't stop. So why keep paying the same every month to cover a car that's worth less every month?
Feeling ripped off? We hear you!
King Price is the only insurer that offers insurance that decreases monthly in line with the depreciating value of your car! You read that right... When you have comprehensive car cover with the king of price, your premium decreases monthly.
Just to be clear… By 'car', we mean any car or LDV that's registered in South Africa. We don't cover taxis or cars used for emergency services (like traffic control and armed response), law enforcement or towing.

Comprehensive
This covers you for accident damage, theft and hi-jacking. It also covers small 'oepsies' that you may accidentally cause to other cars or property.
Chilli
Chilli is comprehensive car insurance, just way cheaper because the less you drive, the less you pay. You only ‘pay per k’ but you get comprehensive cover for accidents, theft and liability to third parties.
How chilli works
Theft and write-off
This covers you for the total loss of your car, like if it’s written-off, or if it’s stolen or hi-jacked and not recovered. Also for damage that occurs due to attempted theft or hi-jacking.
Third party, fire and theft
This covers you for theft and hi-jacking. It also covers you for liability for damage to other people’s property due to a car accident you’re involved in.
Third party only
This covers you for accidental damage you cause to other people’s property (which in the insurance world is known as third party liability) as the result of a car accident.

The cost of insuring a new car can be more expensive than a slightly older or second-hand model. The price you pay depends entirely on the kind of car you want to insure, the insurer you choose to go with, and your personal info, like how long you've had your driver's license and how old you are. (Are refundable, subject to the terms and conditions of the car hire service provider).
You don't have to have insurance to buy a car. However, if you're taking out a loan from a bank or financing house to pay for your precious new (or new-to-you) car, then it's compulsory to get comprehensive car insurance. If you want super cheap cover, chat to King Price for decreasing premiums and the freedom to choose your own excess.
In South Africa, you need insurance to drive a used car off the lot if you've financed the car. If you didn't get a loan from the bank, then you don't need insurance. But you should consider having insurance anyway, because once you drive it off the lot, you'll be responsible for any costs if you have an accident or if it's stolen.

Congratulations... You now have insurance with the king of price!
You can't get car insurance without a driver's licence in South Africa. Not only is it illegal to drive a car without a licence, but the length of time that you've had your licence for, is 1 of the risk factors that determines your premium.
