Pricing guide

How Much Does Rental Insurance Cost in South Africa?

Rental insurance pricing considers the monthly rent together with the tenant, lease, property and cover selected. Request a personalised quotation for the applicable price.

What affects the price?

The percentage alone does not tell the whole story. Underwriting may consider the tenant, lease, property, rent and cover selected.

  • Monthly rental amount
  • Tenant affordability and vetting results
  • New or existing tenancy
  • Arrears or previous disputes
  • Property type and use
  • Limits, excesses and optional benefits

How pricing is determined

Provide the monthly rental amount and complete risk information so that RentalProtect can prepare a personalised quotation.

What should a quote show?

Ask for the premium and the substance behind it.

  • Covered events and claim trigger
  • Maximum rental benefit and payment period
  • Legal-cost or damage sub-limits
  • Excesses and waiting periods
  • Important exclusions
  • Start date and cancellation terms

Price versus value

Compare the premium with the cash-flow exposure created by several missed payments, legal action and a period without a paying tenant. The cheapest option is not necessarily the option with the most suitable trigger or support.
