PilotInsure blends a passion for flying with expertise in insurance. No one else can offer this service independently to South African pilots.

Franz Smit, the founder behind this innovative insurance solution, would not rest until he had figured out a way to get pilots properly insured for aviation activities and any of life's eventualities.

This rapidly-growing business is earning its wings by bringing trusted insurance solutions to both commercial and private pilots. We won't stop until we find the best possible products to suit the individualised needs of each pilot. We can bring fresh solutions because we keep ourselves independent and unbiased.

PilotInsure is based in South Africa but we work all over Africa, and have clients currently flying in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, North America, and Australia.

We have had great success in improving overall value for new clients coming on board whose existing insurance cover was outdated, or had non-disclosure issues with the specific type of flying they were actually covered for.
