In early 2025, a cross-border transport operator experienced every fleet owner’s worst nightmare—a hijacking on the route between Johannesburg and Harare. The vehicle was severely damaged and the cargo completely lost.
The damage claim submitted to the insurer totalled an eye-watering R637,899.31.
Then came the scrutiny.
As part of the claim process, the insurer requested all documentation relating to the driver. What could have quickly become a case of non-compliance, dispute, and claim rejection was resolved with ease—because weeks before the incident, the operator had done something smart.
They spent just R1,980 on a full driver verification with CHECK YOUR DRIVER.
That small act of due diligence paid off massively. The verification confirmed the driver’s Zimbabwean licence and PrDP were authentic and compliant with SADC requirements. As a result, the insurer had no grounds for rejection, and the full claim was paid out without delay.
The Lesson?
✅ Compliance is an investment, not a cost.
✅ Without that verification, the insurer could have lawfully repudiated the claim.
✅ This single step prevented financial disaster.
In a world where over 50% of Zimbabwean driving documents we check are found to be fake, can you afford to take the risk?
A licence check might cost R1,980. A rejected claim might cost hundreds of thousands more.
Neglect is expensive. Verification is not.
Protect your fleet. Protect your bottom line.
