A Situation That Could Have Gone Very Wrong
When insurance claims are made, insurers often demand proper documentation to ensure that the driver operating the vehicle was qualified and compliant with local regulations. This is especially critical when the driver holds a foreign licence—an area increasingly under scrutiny due to a surge in fraudulent documents on the road.
The good news?
This operator had conducted a full verification check on the driver three months prior using CHECK YOUR DRIVER.
The verified report confirmed that the Zimbabwean driver’s licence and PrDP were legitimate and valid under South African law. As a result, the insurer processed the claim without delay, saving the company from unnecessary stress, prolonged investigation, or even a repudiated claim.
Why This Matters to Your Operation
Many fleet operators only find out that their drivers are non-compliant after an incident occurs—by then, it’s too late. Insurance claims may be denied. Reputations can be damaged. In some cases, companies face the full financial burden themselves. In fact, our data shows that more than 50% of foreign licences and PrDPs we verify are fake, with Zimbabwean documents being particularly high-risk.
The Business Case for Verification
A single verification with CHECK YOUR DRIVER costs between R500 and R3,000, depending on the country of origin and scope of checks. In this case, that small investment protected a R35,241.51 insurance payout.
It’s not just about ticking a box—it’s about protecting your bottom line and safeguarding your business from unnecessary financial exposure.
