Britam Uganda Introduces Flexible Motor Insurance Payments
The story
Britam Uganda has unveiled the Car-Tono Katono Campaign, a new motor insurance initiative designed to make comprehensive motor insurance more accessible by allowing customers to pay premiums in manageable instalments.
While motor insurance is a legal requirement for all motorists in Uganda, many drivers and fleet operators continue to rely mainly on Motor Third Party cover.

One of the major barriers to adopting comprehensive insurance has been the requirement to pay the full annual premium upfront, a cost that can put pressure on household and business cash flows.
The Car-Tono Katono Campaign according to officials will address this challenge by giving customers the flexibility to pay for comprehensive motor insurance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or through payment arrangements that align with their financial circumstances. By eliminating the burden of a single large upfront payment, the initiative enables more drivers and fleet operators to access wider motor protection.
Speaking at the launch, Allan Mafabi, Chief Executive Officer of Britam Insurance Uganda, said the campaign was designed to change the way Ugandans access and pay for motor insurance.
“For far too long, many Ugandans have had to dig deep into their pockets to pay for costly garage repairs after accidents. With Car-Tono Katono, we are helping change this reality by making comprehensive motor insurance more accessible before emergencies happen, through flexible payments that fit everyday cash flow,” Mafabi said.
“Insurance should not feel like a once-a-year financial burden. It should be simple, convenient, and easy to plan for, much like other regular commitments people already manage. Our goal is to give customers peace of mind by making motor insurance easier to access, easier to pay for, and easier to manage.”
As part of the campaign, Britam has integrated an AI-enabled vehicle inspection module into the motor insurance customer journey, allowing customers to access the service through WhatsApp. The platform enables motorists to remotely inspect their vehicles using their mobile phones, purchase cover, and manage their policies more conveniently.
