Getting started

How does FSInsure work?

FSInsure is a fully digital insurer. You get an instant quote online, our AI underwriting engine assesses your risk, and you can activate cover in minutes — no paperwork, no call-centre queues.

What can I insure?

Today you can cover your car, home contents, building and everyday devices. Business insurance is on the way.

Is there a waiting period?

Cover generally starts once your policy is active and the first premium is confirmed. Specific terms are set out in your policy schedule.

Quotes & pricing

How is my premium calculated?

Our rating engine considers factors such as the item insured, its value, your location and your risk profile. We don't make firm price promises here — your personalised quote shows the detail.

Why do I need to answer risk questions?

Accurate information helps us price your cover fairly and ensures your claims are handled smoothly. Please answer honestly and completely.

Can I change my cover later?

Yes. You can adjust cover options and add-ons from your dashboard, subject to underwriting.

Claims & emergencies

How do I submit a claim?

Log in, open a claim from your policy, describe what happened and upload supporting documents. Our triage engine assesses straightforward claims fast.

What if I have an emergency?

Use the emergency assistance option in your dashboard to request roadside help, a tow truck, a plumber, electrician, locksmith or security response, depending on your cover.

How long do claims take?

Simple, well-documented claims can be resolved quickly through automated triage. More complex claims are routed to a human assessor.

We process your information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). You control your consent and can request access to your data at any time.
