Accident plans are often misunderstood, leading many South Africans to overlook the essential protection they provide in case of a car accident. Let’s debunk some of the common myths to help you understand why to invest in your protection and why an affordable accidentANGELS plan could be your lifeline during unexpected emergencies.
Myth 1: “No way! Accident plans are expensive…”
Truth: The accidentANGELS personal and family motor vehicle accident plan starts at R149pm for the main member, where you can secure up to R200 000 in funds for in-patient hospital care at a private hospital in case of a road accident, with another option that goes up to R1 million! We all know medical aid in South Africa is expensive, and their monthly premiums increase all the time. If you don’t have medical aid or need extra protection in case you or your family are in a serious accident, it’s a small fee to pay for quality care.
Myth 2: “I don’t need one; I’m a careful driver!”
Truth: We may be confident and have years of experience on the roads, dealing with taxis, traffic, and bad road conditions, but even the most cautious drivers can’t control others, weather conditions, or unforeseen events. Accident plans are about being prepared for things you can’t control.
Myth 3: “They only assist you if you’re driving.”
Truth: accidentANGELS plans are suited to South Africans and how we travel every day! Our accident plan is not just for drivers; it extends to private hospitalisation if you’re a passenger, pedestrian or cyclist. So, whether you’re commuting to work by bus, training on two wheels for your next bicycle race, or driving your kids to school, an accident plan ensures you get quick emergency transport after an accident and private medical access if you’re injured.
Myth 4: “Public hospitals are fine in an emergency.”
Truth: South Africa’s public hospitals are usually known to have limited resources and long waiting times. A quality accident plan guarantees private hospitalisation after a road accident, giving you peace of mind when it matters most. That’s quicker, more comfortable, and often higher quality care—a game-changer when every second counts. Plus, we guarantee fast access to private emergency rooms with an instant R10,000 for treatments like X-rays and follow-up visits.
Myth 5: “Only worth it if you have dependants.”
Truth: While it’s a great investment for you and your loved ones who may travel with you, an accident plan is essential for everyone. If you’re single or child-free, it does not mean you shouldn’t prioritise your safety and health. With an accidentANGELS plan, you can easily add dependants onto the benefits, and for anyone, it protects your savings from unexpected medical bills in case you need urgent medical attention after a road accident.
