Client Testimonials

“My car was parked in a public car park when the cars door next to mine was opened and bumped into my door. Whilst the dent was small, it was in my face every day. I was over the moon knowing that I had the means to get the dents repaired. If I didn’t have the policy, the chances are that the dents would have remained. As a home-owner, I pay all my extra cash into the bond in order to minimize the home loan term, so it is extremely unlikely that I would have had the dents repaired. I would absolutely, without a doubt recommend Bidvest’s Scratch and Dent insurance, the best R100 I could spend. I went and picked up my car yesterday and it was looking as good as when I took delivery, and once again, I am so very glad that I took the Bidvest Scratch and Dent policy.“
