Before you buy from Hollard in Botswana

  1. Check that the policy is issued by one of the companies above — the licensed entity, not only the brand.
  2. For motor cover, check the insurer, and the agent or broker who sells you the policy, on NBFIRA's list of licensed entities, or call NBFIRA on +267 310 2595 / 368 6100.
  3. Ask for the schedule and the exclusions in writing, and compare them with at least one other insurer.
  4. Keep in mind the claim rule that applies to every insurer: ask the insurer for its claims procedure and timeline in writing and keep copies of everything you send; if it does not acknowledge a complaint within 10 working days you may go to NBFIRA.
  5. If something goes wrong, complain to the insurer in writing, then to its Principal Officer, then to NBFIRA (info@nbfira.org.bw, +267 310 2595 / 368 6100) and, after that, the Non-Bank Financial Institutions Tribunal.

The rules above come from our guides: licensed insurers and how to complain.
