Santam continues to insure Citi Golf drivers

In response to reports that some insurers will no longer insure certain models of Citi Golfs, Herman de Meyer, Underwriting manager at Santam, said that Santam's approach is to help its clients to manage their risk responsibly and effectively.

'In all instances we advise our clients on the most feasible way to insure and protect themselves and their possessions. Santam is aware that Citi Golf vehicles pose a high theft risk and as such we have decided to help our clients protect their vehicles by requesting the installation of a tracking device,' he says.

De Meyer says that, as from 1 October 2007, all Citi Golfs and similar models have to be fitted with a tracking system. This requirement applies to new clients as well as to new items on existing policies. While no action has yet been taken regarding existing clients who drive Citi Golfs, he says that the company will monitor the situation closely and may extend the requirement in future.

He says that Santam has negotiated a favourable tracking option for Citi Golf owners, in order to provide a cost effective means of protecting their vehicles against theft.
