Ibuyeco

Environmental consciousness is all the rage, and jumping on the bandwagon is insurance. Ibuyeco insurance provides standard short-term insurance with an environmental twist. For every premium that you pay, 2% goes to an eco trust from a list of causes for a variety of environmental initiatives. Even though carbon offset regulations have not been legislated in South Africa, ibuyeco allows the policyholder to offset the carbon emissions created by his or her vehicle.

The 2% of premiums paid by ibuyeco goes to a range of causes including XX. This contribution is paid for the duration of the policy, and along with it you get car and home and insurance. Even more environmentally sound, ibuyeco cuts down on paperwork by offering insurance direct to the public over the phone or via the internet.

Ibuyeco car insurance

More than just comprehensive, third party, fire and theft, and third party insurance for vehicles, ibuyeco covers motorcycles, 4x4s (even off road), caravans, trailers, boats, jetskis and other watercraft. To offset the amount of carbon emitted while using these vehicles, 2% of the monthly premium is paid to an eco cause of your choice (from the given list.) Although the insurance is offered direct to the public, the policies are tailored to cater for your individual requirements.

Ibuyeco home and contents insurance

The structure of your home and its fixtures are covered under a buildings insurance policy, while the movable possessions within the home require a separate home contents insurance policy. Ibuyeco insurance provides both types of cover with a range of added benefits.

The home contents cover includes more than just the movable possessions within the home, but also food that deteriorates in the fridge or freezer as a result of power outage or mechanical breakdown, washing on the line, outside furniture, stolen money and guests’ belongings.

Your buildings insurance policy covers the fixed structures, such as the actual home, garages, pools, driveways, walls and other outbuildings. It policies may also include the benefit of rent for accommodation should an insurable peril (lightning, flood, fire, subsidence etc) render the home uninhabitable. The rent is for the duration of the repairs on the insured property.
