Directline Assurance is among the best insurance companies in Kenya. They specialize in general insurance.
They recently introduced a BimaTap service that they have been pushing very hard with TV, Radio, and Social media adverts. This service allows you to apply for a one-month insurance cover for your vehicle directly on your phone and have it sent to your email. The service is available for both comprehensive and third-party covers.
One huge win for this service is that it eliminates the need to go to their physical offices and cuts off brokers. It’s very convenient and fast.
In this article, we shall focus on the 1-month third-party car insurance cover.
