This is basically an extended warranty to cover electrical appliances that you purchase.

We will start by showing you what the insurance covers.

Absa Appliance Insurance
The premiums to this insurance depend on the price of the appliance and the duration of the extended warranty.
If the appliance is expensive, then the premiums will be relatively expensive.
The longer the warranty plan, the less expensive the premiums.
You will only be compensated for that one appliance you insured in the event of damage.
You can choose a plan that will cover all your home appliances though it will be a bit expensive.
However, the comprehensive cover is cheaper than insuring all the appliances separately.
The manufacturer has to provide an original warranty of no less than 12 months for an insured under this cover.
You should also have the original receipt showing the transaction was paid in full.
This is how the appliance insurance works in South Africa.
