GAP cover built in. Multiply rewards. And pricing that competes on rate.

Momentum Insure is the short-term insurance arm of Momentum Metropolitan Holdings — one of SA's largest financial services groups. Their car insurance product goes beyond standard comprehensive cover with two features worth knowing about: built-in GAP cover and the Multiply rewards programme.

GAP cover — the feature most drivers don't know they need until they do

GAP cover pays the difference between what your insurer pays out on a total write-off and what you still owe on your vehicle finance. Without it, a serious accident on a financed vehicle can leave you with a settlement cheque that doesn't cover your outstanding loan balance.

Example: your car is written off. Your insurer pays out R280,000 (current market value). You still owe R310,000 to the bank. Without GAP cover, you pay the R30,000 shortfall. With Momentum's GAP cover included in the policy, that shortfall is covered. This is especially important in the first three years of a vehicle finance agreement, when depreciation often outruns what you've paid down.

Multiply rewards

Momentum's Multiply programme rewards responsible behaviour across their product range. For car insurance, this means safe driving, regular vehicle servicing, and maintaining a clean claims record can earn Multiply points — redeemable for discounts, cashback, and retail partner rewards. If you're already using Momentum health or life products, the insurance integrates into the same rewards ecosystem.

Who Momentum Insure suits

Who should compare carefully

Momentum's pricing is competitive for low-risk profiles, but base rates are not always the sharpest in the market. If GAP cover isn't a priority — you own your car outright or you're well into your finance term — the Multiply rewards may not justify a premium over direct alternatives. Run the numbers with and without the GAP benefit before deciding.
