Why pay for A-Z when you only drive from A-B?
Introducing connected Pay-per-KM Insurance.
SEE HOW IT WORKS
We’re putting you in control with insurance that connects to your car, so you pay for the insurance you use.
KOBA works by connecting your car’s onboard computer to our app, securely measuring the KM you drive.
Our pay-as-you-drive model means your bill may change depending on how much you travel.
Driving less? You’ll pay less.
Get comprehensive car insurance with a transparent cost that’s split into two: a cost for coverage while parked and a cost per KM you drive.
1/ Coverage while parked
Pay an upfront fixed cost that covers your car while it's parked from things like fire, theft and hail for example.
2/ Coverage while driving
Pay from a few cents per KM you drive. This cost is calculated at the end of each month and is your per-KM rate multiplied by the number of KM you’ve driven.
Unexpected long trip?
Our Capped price promise means if you occasionally drive more than 250KM/day or 1750 KM/month, the rest of the KM that day, or billing month, are on us^!

HOW IT WORKS
Introducing the KOBA Rider
When you join, we’ll send you a small KOBA Rider device that easily plugs into your car.
This securely measures your KM and powers our app. Once you log in, you’ll be able to see trips, costs and policy info almost instantly.
CONNECTING THE KOBA RIDER
How do I plug it into my car?
Once you receive the KOBA Rider, it’s simple to plug in.
Every car will be slightly different, but the plug you’re looking for is the OBD-II port. This will be on the driver’s side; either somewhere under the dashboard or near the steering wheel.
The OBD-II connector port has a 16-pin port that your KOBA Rider plugs into, just like any other socket. All cars manufactured after 2006 have an OBD-II port installed.
Once plugged in, you’ll see a light appear which means you’re connected.
Download the app & start driving. We’ve got you covered from your policy start-date. Securely access your trips, costs and policy docs almost instantly.
