Stolen Vehicle Claim with MiWay: How the Tracker Counts
A theft on a MiWay policy is handled through the insurer's self-service app and call centre, so you drive much of the process yourself. The first hour after the theft, and the order of your actions, sets up the claim.
This guide walks the MiWay flow from theft to settlement, with the tracker's role anchored at each stage.

Get my quotesCall the tracker provider first
Before the police or MiWay, phone the tracker provider. Their recovery room acts on the live signal while the trail is fresh - the most time-critical step.
Police and MiWay follow. Recovery is the action that cannot wait.
Lodging the claim yourself
On a self-service insurer you open the theft claim yourself through the MiWay app or call centre, and upload documents as the case progresses.
Open it promptly so the assessment can start; the self-service model means the timing is in your hands.
Recovery alongside the claim
The tracker provider's room chases the car while MiWay handles the settlement. Two tracks on one theft.
Update both - a recovery within 48 hours can change a write-off into a repair, and MiWay needs to know at once.
The police case number
MiWay's file needs the SAPS case number before substantive handling. Report at the station, secure the number, keep the investigating officer's contact.
The police record is the anchor the claim depends on.
Tracker status on the date of loss
MiWay checks the device's status on the day. An active, monitored, subscribed unit that reported the theft is standard; a lapsed or silent one is scrutinised.
Keep the subscription live and the certificate filed so the tracker supports the claim.
