Yes. Quotations, document submission, proposal forms, payment guidance and policy delivery can often be handled through online forms, WhatsApp, phone and email.
Some risks still require a valuation, medical assessment, machinery inspection, fire survey or site visit. Final acceptance, premium and policy terms remain subject to the insurer’s underwriting.
Two policies carrying the same name may have different limits, excesses, warranties, exclusions and extensions. The cheapest option can become expensive when a missing benefit or restrictive condition appears during a claim.

Thika’s connection to Nairobi, industrial areas, farms and neighbouring towns makes motor cover essential for private motorists and businesses.
Private vehicle owners can consider third-party only, third-party fire and theft, or comprehensive insurance. Comprehensive clients should compare insured value, excess protector, political violence and terrorism, windscreen limits, towing, rescue and courtesy-car terms.
Commercial vehicles must be insured according to their real use. Pickups, vans, trucks, staff vehicles and delivery fleets may also need Goods in Transit, carrier’s liability, WIBA and public liability.
Public-service vehicles, taxis, ride-hailing vehicles and motorcycles require the correct class of cover. Passenger use should never be hidden or declared as private use.

Manufacturers face connected risks: a fire can damage buildings and machines, stop production, delay orders and create liability to customers or neighbours.
A tailored manufacturing programme may include:
Machinery values, processes, raw materials, finished stock, fire protections, maintenance systems and claims history affect underwriting. A proper asset register and realistic replacement values help reduce underinsurance.
Warehouses and distributors should distinguish between property they own and customers’ goods held in trust. A standard fire policy may not automatically cover every third-party item.
Relevant covers may include stock, fire, burglary, Goods in Transit, bailee’s liability, deterioration of stock, money, fidelity guarantee, public liability and business interruption.
Transport contracts should be checked before a loss. Responsibility may change depending on ownership, custody, delivery terms and whether goods are carried for reward.
Thika’s continued commercial and residential development creates demand for Contractors All Risks, public liability, WIBA, plant and machinery, professional indemnity and bonds.
Before starting a project, examine the contract for:
Request project and corporate options through the corporate quotation page.
Employers in factories, warehouses, farms, schools, hospitals, shops, offices, hotels and construction must consider workplace injury exposure. WIBA insurance supports eligible compensation obligations under Kenyan law, subject to the policy and applicable legislation.
Employee categories, job descriptions and estimated annual earnings must be declared accurately. A machine operator, driver, electrician and office administrator do not carry equal occupational risk.
Learn more about WIBA insurance. Employers may also consider WIBA Plus, group personal accident, group life and group medical cover.
When comparing medical insurance, look beyond the annual premium. Review inpatient and outpatient limits, the current hospital panel in Thika and Nairobi, waiting periods, co-payments, chronic-condition terms, maternity, dental, optical and emergency evacuation.
Confirm your preferred provider before buying because hospital networks can change.
Explore health insurance, Imana Afya or the micro-health quotation page.
Farms, processors, dairy businesses and produce traders around Thika may need combinations of livestock or crop insurance, farm property, machinery breakdown, motor, Goods in Transit, WIBA, stock and public liability.
Agricultural products are specialised. Availability depends on crop or livestock type, location, season, values and insurer appetite. Request an assessment rather than assuming automatic cover.
Buildings, contents, rental income and liability can be insured, but the correct values and occupancy must be disclosed. A landlord’s building policy does not automatically protect a tenant’s personal contents.
Homeowners and tenants can consider fire, burglary, contents, electronics, domestic workers’ liability and public liability. Businesses should also examine business interruption after insured property damage.
Schools may require property, students’ personal accident, school-bus insurance, WIBA, public liability and cyber protection.
Clinics and professionals may need medical equipment, property, WIBA, public liability, professional indemnity, malpractice-related protection and cyber insurance.
Shops and SMEs can combine stock, burglary, money, fire, Goods in Transit, fidelity guarantee and liability covers. Cyber insurance is increasingly relevant where a business stores customer records or relies on digital payments and systems.
Residents travelling for business, study, holidays or family visits can arrange travel insurance online. Benefits may include emergency medical treatment abroad, evacuation, trip cancellation or curtailment, personal accident and baggage-related losses, subject to the policy.
Compare options through MyKava or review travel insurance.
Material facts should never be hidden. Incorrect use, values, employee numbers or business activities may affect a claim.
After an incident, protect life, prevent further loss, notify the insurer or Imana promptly, report to the relevant authority where required and preserve evidence. Do not admit liability or authorise non-emergency repairs without guidance.
Submit an initial notification through the Imana claims request page. Claims remain subject to policy terms and insurer assessment.
Yes. Many personal and business covers can begin online, although some require inspection, valuation, medical assessment or a site survey.
There is no universal answer. The right insurer depends on processes, assets, fire protections, claims history, required limits and underwriting appetite. Compare the full terms, not only premium.
These risks may be combined in one programme, but each section has its own limits, excesses and conditions. Business interruption normally depends on insured physical damage and an adequate indemnity period.
Usually not automatically. Goods in Transit or another cargo-related policy may be required.
Yes. They protect different exposures and can form part of one employee-benefits programme.
If you are in Thika, Juja, Ruiru, Kenol or the surrounding area, compare before you renew or buy.
Thika, protect the engine behind your growth. Compare. Buy. Save.
