RENASA

RENASA is a specialist insurance company in Claremont, Cape Town, serving South African policyholders through an established network of brokers and underwriting managers. Operating from Renasa House in Newlands, RENASA focuses on providing structured, broker-driven insurance solutions that can be tailored to the needs of individuals, businesses, and niche sectors. Rather than selling directly to the public, RENASA partners with intermediaries who understand their clients’ risk profiles and can align them with appropriate cover.

As a Cape Town insurance provider, RENASA’s model is built around supporting brokers with underwriting capacity, policy frameworks, and claims infrastructure. This approach allows financial advisers and insurance professionals to customise products, often under their own branding, while leveraging RENASA’s backing and insurance expertise. The result is a platform where brokers can serve their clients with flexibility and where policyholders gain access to insurance solutions guided by a professional intermediary.

RENASA primarily serves customers who prefer to work through a trusted broker or underwriter, including individuals seeking personal cover, small and medium businesses, and specialised sectors that require more nuanced policies. For policyholders, this means their relationship is managed by a broker who can explain policy wording, exclusions, and benefits, and who acts as a primary point of contact throughout the life of the policy and claims process.

Services & Specialties

RENASA offers a range of broker-focused insurance products that are distributed exclusively through brokers and underwriters rather than sold directly to the public. This includes personal insurance solutions, commonly arranged through local brokers in Claremont, Newlands, and across Cape Town, covering everyday risks such as vehicles and household contents. Brokers working with RENASA can tailor these solutions to align with their clients’ needs, selecting appropriate benefits and limits within the RENASA framework.

In addition to personal cover, RENASA supports commercial and specialist insurance segments through its broker network. Underwriters and intermediaries can make use of RENASA’s capacity to structure sector-specific solutions, with variations that may differ from standard policy wording. As one satisfied customer highlighted in their feedback, some brokers have their own product structures, which means the RENASA product for a broker may differ from a standard policy, making it important for clients to understand the exact terms their broker has arranged.

What sets RENASA apart within the Cape Town insurance landscape is its clear focus on the intermediary model. RENASA does not position itself as a direct insurer, instead it operates as a partner to brokers and underwriting managers who take the lead in client relationships, product design, and ongoing advice. This creates an environment where brokers are empowered to deliver customised insurance solutions while relying on RENASA’s systems, policy frameworks, and claims infrastructure in the background.
