The vehicle can only be insured on a fully comprehensive basis! Cover is for private and/or business and/or professional purposes as selected by the client.

True-Grit does not cover the above for reasons that are either complex from an indemnity point of view or  are too risk intensive.

No, True-Grit is a specialised niche’ product and caters only for 4X4’s as a primary vehicle and then property which is intended for recreational outdoor use.

True-Grit has special extensions which provide a much wider scope of cover than conventional insurance.

True-Grit will pay up to 15% of the vehicle insured value, to bring your disabled vehicle back to RSA from a  foreign territory, including its towed   units. We will pay a contractor to  execute the recovery back to RSA on the client’s behalf!

True-Grit has repatriation sub-extensions which provide for:

• Cost of a one-way return trip per vehicle occupant by road or air;
• 3 days temporary accommodation in the territory for vehicle occupants during the repatriation process;
• Temporary vehicle hire for 3 days during the repatriation process.

The client must pay the associated costs up-  front and will be reimbursed either all   or part of these costs on his return to RSA and following submission of a claim.

True-Grit has a 3 month “on risk” requirement before the Repatriation clause can be utilized and each cross border excursion is limited to 6 weeks.

True-Grit is flexible and for an additional premium is able to waive both these requirements.

There is a requirement that the client must have undergone an off-road driver instruction course with an accredited instruction centre and have certification to this effect before the vehicle can be insured for full off-road use.

True-Grit “tag line” is TAR, TRACK & “BEYOND” TRAIL. People who are unfamiliar with 4×4’s in general need to know about the systems, dynamics and applications thereof whilst driving in off-road environs. Off-road driving can be as safe or equally as dangerous dependent on the driver’s knowledge and ability. A lot of people who own 4×4’s will never have the need to drive their vehicle OTHER than in 4×4 high range.

 In order to go beyond gravel or dirt road people need instruction in how to negotiate varied obstacles that can be encountered, in low range.

• Whenever a person finds himself in a situation where he needs to drive other than on Tar or Track or Man-made trail. For instance, driving in soft sand conditions such as “beach, dry riverbeds or dune traversing;
• Thick mud conditions;
• Water wading as in through rivers & watercourses and surf launching of boats;
• Traversing over irregular rock structures/ uneven features, soil erosion areas, steep soil or rock ascents or descents, side angle driving;
• As important the person must know about “line of approach”, “approach angle”, “break over angle”, “departure angle” and “higher center of gravity” and how these can best be used to the driver’s advantage whilst off-road traversing.
• And where it is necessary for the driver to have the skill and ability to use the vehicle’s low range or differential locks applications and how to affect a recovery of a vehicle when stuck or disabled.
