Services & Specialties

Harnacks Insurance Brokers cc is widely recognised as a specialist independent broker and financial advisor with a strong niche in motorcycle and bicycle insurance. Over many years they have helped shape the model used by underwriters across South Africa for insuring bikes, quads, and other specialist vehicles. Their expertise covers motorcycles on the road and off road, bicycles on the mountain, and a range of high value and sport vehicles, giving riders and enthusiasts practical cover that reflects the real risks of modern riding and adventure sports.

Beyond bikes, Harnacks Insurance Brokers cc has become known as an extreme risk insurer with substantial experience in watercraft insurance, as well as cover for helicopters and aeroplanes. If it travels on the water, the earth, or in the air, there is a strong chance they understand how to insure it properly. This includes items powered by petrol, diesel, electricity, or even pedal power, and vehicles with four, three, two, one, or zero wheels. Their ability to design policies for unusual or high-risk assets makes them a trusted partner for clients whose needs lie beyond the standard insurance template.

The brokerage also offers a broad suite of personal and business insurance products and financial services. This includes domestic short-term insurance for homes and contents, life insurance, retirement planning, and medical aids and gap covers. For the business sector they provide business short term insurance, body corporate insurance, group medical plans and pension funds, and employee benefits for small businesses. Clients in Cape Town’s City Bowl value the convenience of working with one advisory partner who can coordinate their insurance, retirement, and employee benefit needs under one roof, while still providing the depth of knowledge expected from a specialist.
