What sets a broker apart from going direct.
Buying insurance direct means one insurer, one quote, and one number to call if something goes wrong. Here's what changes when you go through us instead.
One call, cover compared
We compare cover across our insurer panel and bring you the option that actually fits — instead of you calling around yourself.
No extra cost
We explain the policy costs, fees, and broker remuneration shown in your documentation, so you can compare options on a clear basis.
We handle your claims
When something goes wrong, you call us, not a call centre. We chase the paperwork and the insurer on your behalf.
25 years, still family-run
Same founders, same values. We're not a call centre that changed its name — we're the same people who started this in 2001.
Real industry specialists
From plumbers to farmers, we understand the risks specific to your trade — not just generic policy categories.
A real person, not a portal
You'll speak to the same broker every time — not an automated queue or a different agent on every call.
Personal, commercial, and agricultural insurance — all in one place.
25 years of experience in personal, commercial, and agricultural insurance. Every policy is built around your risk, not a template.

Behind every policy is someone's home, harvest, or livelihood.
That's why we don't just sell policies. We match you to the right cover for the life you're actually protecting.
Your home. Your car. Your loved ones. Covered.
Most people only think about personal insurance once something's gone wrong. We'd rather get it right from the start, matching you to cover that actually fits your home, your car, and your risk.
- Buildings & Contents Cover — your home and everything in it, insured to its real value.
- All Risk Cover — laptops, jewellery, and valuables covered wherever you take them.
- Liability Cover — protection if someone is injured on your property or by your vehicle.
- Sasria Cover — cover for riot, strike, and civil unrest damage.
25 years in business. Still the same family.
Avaltren Insurance Brokers started 25 years ago as a small, family-owned brokerage. The goal was simple: give South Africans real choice in personal and commercial insurance.
The name has changed. The people haven't. Our founders are still involved, and the same values still guide the business: integrity, and protecting what our clients have built.
Today, we've added modern technology to that experience, so protecting your assets is reliable and convenient.

Honest, transparent relationships you can rely on.
