Control your insurance premium with Vitality Drive 65+

 

If you are aged 65 to 80, you can get up to 50% of your premiums back every year for healthy living and good driving with Vitality Drive 65+.

Benefits of Vitality Drive 65+

With the Vitality Drive 65+ benefit, you can earn up to 50% of your vehicle premiums back every year.

By proactively managing your health and driving well, you build a more favourable Vitality Drive profile. So, the better you drive, the higher your Vitality Drive status will be, and in turn, the greater your premium cash back will be.

65+ clients can also earn up to 50% fuel and Gautrain spend back, as well as benefit from weekly Vitality Active Rewards and other Vitality Drive rewards, based on their Vitality Drive status, such as:

"The Vitality Drive 65+ benefit is a unique way to reward healthier living, encourage improved driving behaviours and enable retirees to benefit from comprehensive insurance cover that won't deplete their hard-earned savings unnecessarily," concludes Ossip

So, are older South Africans really driving better?

"Yes, they are," says Discovery Insure Chief Executive Officer, Anton Ossip. "Our telematics-based data shows us that well-engaged clients aged 65 to 80 have a 28% higher driving score than drivers of other Vitality Drive age groups."

"This age group also drives 37% fewer kilometres than other drivers monthly," he adds. "This contributes to a considerably lower risk profile because less time is spent on the road. It effectively lowers the risk of being in an accident," explains Ossip.

Lowered risk is one of the goals of Vitality Drive. Alongside good driving behaviours, another major contributing factor for lower risk profiles relates to health and healthier living.

"We've seen that older clients who proactively manage their health aren't as great a risk on the road as you might think. Discovery Insure data shows that older clients who complete their Vitality Health Check have a 10% lower vehicle loss ratio, which means fewer vehicle claims. This is because those who complete these assessments have a better understanding of where their health risks lie and can take the necessary steps to better look after themselves," Ossip explains further.

"Thanks to such insights, we're able to offer Vitality Drive 65+, a benefit specifically aimed at drivers aged 65 to 80. This benefit gives older adults the ability to get rewarded for managing their health and driving well; and as such, an opportunity to better control their insurance premiums well into their retirement years," adds Ossip.

"Cover should and can remain comprehensive for as long as a person chooses to drive," says Ossip. "Vitality Drive 65+ helps older adults maintain their car insurance cover for as long as they need it, and at a premium that makes better sense for their pockets."
