If your car is stolen, hijacked or involved in an accident, here are a few examples of how your life could suddenly get a lot worse.

Faced with the prospect of having no transport, you will either need to rent a car or make a radical change to your lifestyle.

Having to incur the full cost of the rental before claiming from your insurer, or the third party you could find your bank account in a worse state than your car. You should be prepared to face costs in excess of R2 619.00 for a 10 day rental period with limited free kms usage per day, plus insurance costs and security.

Consider yourself without transport unless you have available cash or a credit card to rent a car. Also, if you are under 23 years of age, further restrictions are imposed.

Fortunately there is a way to minimise the trauma associated with acquiring temporary transport.
