PERSONAL INSURANCE

Thoughtful personal insurance cover for your home, vehicles, and valuables

When you’ve worked hard to build a life, protect it properly.

For many business owners and professionals, personal insurance is something that sits quietly in the background — until it’s needed. A break-in, a vehicle accident, a burst pipe, or a lost laptop can turn from inconvenience to serious financial strain very quickly. The real cost isn’t just replacing what was lost or damaged; it’s the disruption, the stress, and the time taken away from your family or your business.

At Hallmark Risk, we help you put the right personal insurance cover in place so those moments don’t become setbacks. Our role is to protect what matters to you, clearly and responsibly, with cover that makes sense for your lifestyle and risk profile.

Why personal insurance still matters — even when you run a business

Many of our clients are directors or business owners who insure their companies thoroughly, yet underestimate their personal exposure. In reality, personal assets are often more vulnerable.

Your home, vehicles, and personal belongings are used daily. They are exposed to risks that can’t always be controlled — theft, accidents, fire, weather damage, or liability claims. Without the right cover, the financial impact lands squarely on you.

Personal insurance isn’t about over-insuring or ticking boxes. It’s about ensuring that if something goes wrong, your finances remain stable and your life continues with minimal disruption.

Home and contents cover that reflects real life
Building (House Owners) Insurance

Your home is more than bricks and mortar — it’s one of your most significant financial assets. Building insurance protects the physical structure of your property, including walls, roofs, fixed fittings, and permanent fixtures.

In South Africa, damage from storms, fire, burst geysers, or accidental incidents is more common than many homeowners expect. Without adequate building cover, repairs can become a major financial burden. We ensure your home is insured at the correct replacement value, not an outdated estimate that leaves you exposed at claim stage.

House Contents Insurance

House contents insurance covers the items inside your home — furniture, appliances, electronics, clothing, and personal effects.

Clients are often surprised by how quickly the cost of replacing everyday items adds up after a theft or fire. Proper contents cover removes that pressure, allowing you to replace what you need without compromising savings or cash flow.

Motor vehicle insurance you can rely on

Vehicles are essential to both personal and professional life. Whether it’s your primary car, additional vehicles, trailers, or motorcycles, unexpected incidents can happen despite careful driving.

Motor vehicle insurance covers you against damage, theft, hijacking, and related risks. More importantly, it protects you from sudden, unplanned costs that can disrupt your routine and responsibilities.

We take time to understand how your vehicles are used, where they’re kept, and what level of cover is appropriate — ensuring you’re protected without paying for unnecessary extras.

Personal All Risks cover — protection beyond your home

Many of the items we value most don’t stay at home.

Personal All Risks insurance covers items such as jewellery, watches, cell phones, laptops, cameras, and travel luggage wherever you go. Whether an item is lost, stolen, or accidentally damaged, this cover provides financial protection when it matters most.

This type of cover is particularly important for professionals who travel, work remotely, or rely on portable devices day-to-day.

Optional cover for regional and environmental risks

South Africa’s diverse geography means certain risks are location-specific.

Optional cover can protect against events such as flooding, earthquakes, or other natural disasters that may not be automatically included in standard policies. These events are rare, but when they occur, the financial impact can be significant.

We help you assess whether additional protection makes sense based on where you live and the risks most relevant to your area.

Personal Legal Liability — protection you may not realise you need

Personal Legal Liability cover protects you if someone is injured or their property is damaged due to your actions, or those of your dependants or pets.

In today’s environment, legal claims are more common and can be costly to defend, even when unintentional. This cover provides peace of mind, knowing that legal costs and potential settlements are taken care of.
